  "summary": "Parliamentary opposition leader Joel Ssenyonyi has questioned why some Ugandans continue to face travel restrictions abroad despite Uganda being declared Ebola-free on August 27, 2026. Government Chief Whip Jane Ruth Aceng confirmed the country's Ebola-free status but attributed the ongoing restrictions to transmission in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and cross-border movements. Aceng stated that the government is actively engaging foreign countries to reconsider their travel bans on Ugandans.",
