'it's said you look for this kenyan neighbour' is the definition.

(Other definitions for uganda that I've seen before include "Idi Amin used to rule this African state" , "African country once ruled by Idi Amin, capital Kampala" , "Country W. of Kenya" , "A gun ad (anag)" , "Landlocked African state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
