N. is reported to have said this:

“Kato wanted me to be his lover which I completely refused because I was not pleased with what he was doing to fellow men.”

Two things:-

1. it suggests that N. is not gay, and

2. it suggests that they did not have sex.

Bang goes the ‘lovers’ tiff’ theory?

Might there also be a whiff of ‘hatred’ here?

And what did N. want from Kato, I wonder?

‘ Kayihura added that police were “not dismissing” the hate crime theory and cautioned the public and Uganda’s media against “intolerance.”

‘ Last year Kato was named and pictured by an anti-gay tabloid called Rolling Stone in a story that carried the headline “Hang Them” in reference to gay rights campaigners.

‘ “Whoever is talking about hanging, we are going to have to take them on. It is absolutely unacceptable,” Kayihura said.

‘ Kayihura also admonished Anglican priest Thomas Musoke for anti-gay remarks made at Kato’s funeral last week.

‘ “You don’t make such statements at a funeral,” he said. “God accepts everybody … you must be sensitive.”

‘ Although engaging in homosexual sex is listed in Uganda’s penal code, Kayihura said investigating such cases in not a top priority. ‘

This looks like sensible stuff to me.

‘Kayihura added that police were “not dismissing” the hate crime theory and cautioned the public and Uganda’s media against “intolerance.” ‘

The reference to ‘consensual sex’ is interesting; under UG law, there is technically no such thing as ‘consensual’ homosexual activity.Maybe there’s some ‘new thinking’ around?

Literally, speaking the act of sodomy between the 2 men was mutually agreed hence it was “consensual”. New Vision did not comment on the legality or illegality of the said “consensual” act. And knowing that newspaper very well, it will never comment beyond that.

….the calm and balanced way in which the Inspector General has presented the situation so far is to be welcomed.

That is why he is the Inspector-General of Police. Don’t delude yourself that he is now pro-gay by massaging the egos of foreign journalists and foreign diplomats. A bad wind must be given enough space to blow over.
