Uganda Monitor covers the Bahati trip to DC; is visa valid? UPDATED

UPDATE: Bahati is a no-show at the ICGFM conference. ICGFM spokeman Doug Hadden told me that some delegates from Uganda are attending but Mr. Bahati has apparently not made an attempt to enter.

12/7/10 – Mr. Bahati emailed me this morning to say he is in DC. I know he is doing some media as well.

Interesting claim that Bahati’s visa is specifically for the event he now cannot attend. What happens when he is unable to enter? Bahati commented on the situation:

“I know US as a defender of democracy in the world and can differentiate between the efforts of a legislator in a democratic parliament from acts of dictatorship,” he [Bahati] said. Unlike other MPs, the American mission in Kampala gave him a single-entry visa specifically for the event.

Mr Bahati and five other MPs are scheduled to attend a financial management conference of practitioners in the US starting tomorrow. The gays also want to demonstrate at the venue of the meeting to show their distaste of the Bill and Mr Bahati. But Mr Bahati said he would continue with his trip.

  1. I will like to buy a copy of your song when it comes out of the closet— er sorry, when it comes out in the market. ¨ Maazi

    Let´s see, we might be able to work someth´n out–you pay, I´ll play and give you the real-life stories that you apparently glories…the pleasure is mind.

  2. David Bahati was get the old ¨you´re doing fine¨ validation from his K Street buddies (and maybe other rewards)–all for the cause of promoting anti-LGBTI loathing in Uganda–dangerous P R making in the U.S. but looks good to the folks back home who think he is a normal human/moral being and not the monster that he has become…his accomplices in the U.S. give him faux credibility for promoting Ugandan bigotry. Martin Ssempa has lost his U.S. religiouslike backers–one by one–even they couldn´t stomach his lies and viciousness directed toward fellow citizens.

    When are you releasing this gay gangster rap song? It is looking like it will sound better than our President’s hit single—“You Want Another Rap?”

    Do we know what happened in the end? Presumably Bahati would have tried to enter the United State yesterday, if he actually had made the trip at all?

  5. He did enter; I heard from him via email yesterday. That is about all I know right now. More updates to come….

  10. For the life of me, I do not understand why MP David Bahati insists on visiting a nation where he is clearly not welcome. I do not understand why he cannot concentrate on his job in Uganda and face the affairs of the people who elected him in Ndorwa West. This is just plain stupid !!!

  11. No country needs the likes of Bahati´s ideal of Democracy–only those who honor/indulge in murder, corruption and malicious conduct directed toward fellow citizens ought give him a Visa–Iran comes to mind–perfect fit–fear and hate…of course he´s right at home in present day Uganda.

    Sounds like the lyrics of a new gay gangster rap song you are working on
