In Kenya, the Ugandan Foreign Minister Otema Alimadi has explained the circumstances surrounding the removal of former President Yusufu Lule. It was the first time a Minister of the government has spoken about what went on at a meeting of the consultative council that voted no confidence in Me. Lule. Mr Alimadi was in the United Kingdom at the time of the meeting but said he had made it his business to find out what had happened in his absence. He said that the former President went against the Moshi conference agreement that all appointments should be ratified by the consultative council, and therefore he was removed from the Presidency. The Moshi conference was held in March to form a united Ugandan National Liberation Front to replace the ousted leader Idi Amin.
