Uganda's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) received multiple complaints against former honorary consul of eSwatini, Quilino Bamwine, resulting in the revocation of his appointment last month.
The allegations against Bamwine include extortion, fraud, and a criminal land deal. eSwatini’s ambassador to the African Union, Mahlaba A. Mamba, stated that Bamwine ignored earlier warnings and continued alleged illicit activities despite repeated interventions by Ugandan authorities.
Bamwine’s conduct led to “persistent complaints” from both government authorities and private individuals, prompting the eSwatini embassy to report the alleged misconduct to Kampala.
The removal of Bamwine from his position is a result of these complaints and allegations.
