In reply to Jame. James - I don't know why they are not being published. I have removed any moderation from your comments. Perhaps they are going to the spam filter for reasons I cannot figure out. Have you commented more than twice today?

Of course, the truth is that ‘sexual dishonesty’ is the best way to transmit HIV – and one of the things that can so promote such dishonesty is … yes, that’s right, homophobia.

One might almost say that Ssempa could be regarded as an ‘HIV risk factor’!

Anteros

No surprises there.

In defence of Canyon Ridge (of which I am no ‘friend’, I might add): they really did try very hard to get Ssempa to ‘mend his ways’. The money they gave him was meant for the relief of those with HIV/AIDS. One wonders how much of that cash was used for its intended purpose …

Sick, really, when you think about it.

According to Ssempa, “Homosexuality is the most efficient method of spreading HIV”. He made that assertion during an interview on national television… with that kind of misinformation dribbling out of his mouth, I can understand why Canyon Ridge would seek a more sensible partner in the fight against the spread of HIV.

Correction: the cash from Canyon Ridge was for fighting the spread of HIV/AIDS, rather than specifically for the relief of those infected.

Anyway, here again is the statement from Canyon Ridge when they finally decided that ‘enough was enough’: http://www.canyonridge.org/default.aspx?page=8539

(It should be noted that the recent increase in HIV transmission in UG is attributed principally to marital infidelity, not homosexuality. ‘Maazi’ and I have already agreed on this point.)

Richard, Ssempa has insulted various heads of state and made false allegations about George Soros and lecturers at Makerere University… in public… not once, not twice… lots of times. It looks like this time his irresponsible hunt for a worthy boogieman and his finger pointing games have backfired on him… it was bound to catch up with him eventually.

The whole things is extremely fishy – it does appear that people like Ssempa have a ‘track record’ of ‘dissembling’ and smearing other.

On the ‘false testimony’ front: there was also the Oundo affair. Oundo was, he now claims, paid to say in March 2009 that he ‘recruited’ youngsters (and ended up on the “‘Rolling Stone’ hang them” list, I believe, along with the late David Kato).
