{{Authorities in Botswana are holding two Ugandan doctors and have indicated that the duo is bound for deportation after completion of an inquest into cases they refused to reveal to the relatives.}}
The doctors, Eli Musinguzi and Brian Mutebi, local media reported were arrested last week on Thursday over their alleged connections to a private clinic near the capital Gaborone; which was thereafter closed by police for “illegally operating.”
Dr Musinguzi, who has lived in Botswana for seven years and worked at the country’s national referral, Princes Marina Hospital, for three years, has not been working at the private clinic, but his colleague, Dr Mutebi has worked there as full time staff.

The clinic is reportedly owned by another doctor, Mr Emmanuel Niwagaba, who was apparently out of the country at the time police reined in.
Ms Rose Musinguzi, wife to Dr Musinguzi, described the situation as “worrying” saying both the police and immigration authorities have to this date not communicated the charges against her husband.
“Dr Musinguzi wasn’t working at the clinic. I was told by the receptionist at the clinic that the police saw him coming from the clinic at one time. The police then asked for his contacts from the receptionist and later called him to the police station,” she said.
