Ugandan authorities have deported Jacqueline Wolfson after being accused of funding musician-turned-MP Bobi Wine -- the new face of Ugandan opposition.
Her deportation comes barely two months after a controversial article cited her as "a calculating political operative and lobbyist".
Wolfson is the founder of Shule Foundation, an NGO helping Ugandan streets kids by funding their education.
Ugandan authorities say Wolfson violated the immigration laws since he holds a tourist visa -- and the same time "passing as a charity giver".
The government spokesperson Ofwono Opondo maintains that "there is no record at immigration that Jacqueline Wolfson has ever applied for a work permit since 2014 when she has been visiting Uganda".
Controversy
Jacqueline Wolfson became popular among some government officials after a controversial article titled "Understanding The Foreign Hand In Bobi Wine's Rise And Politics" on Flipside.
"But beneath the philanthropic facade lies a calculating political operative, a front of powerful American lobby groups, whose sole focus now is to cause regime change in Uganda and possibly install a puppet leader. There are two key items on their agenda; homosexuality and oil
"Wolfson is an Economic Hitwoman. She is deeply rooted in the New York political and social fabric. A known LGBT campaigner and fundraiser for the Democratic Party back home, she describes herself as "self-made" entrepreneur who has made millions from the "concierge" business, a moniker for real estate business," part of the article stated.
