Uganda deports MTN Uganda CEO Wim Vanhelleputte, deemed 'undesirable immigrant'

A deportation letter circulating on social media says the CEO of the giant telecom company has been 'deemed to be an undesirable immigrant'.

"And I further declare that this order shall be carried into effect by the removal of the said Wim Vanhelleputte by deportation and while waiting to be conveyed to the place of departure shall be kept in custody," part of the deportation order reads.

The order is dated 14th February 2018 and was signed by Minister of Internal Affairs Jeje Odongo.

His deportation comes barely a month after the deportation of three top managers over alleged involvement in activities that compromise national security.
