So you don’t want to comment meaningfully on the important current issues. OK.

But I will: you have repeatedly said how wicked the West is. I can however assure you that, in the U.K. (which has a similar number of 10 – 14 year olds as UG), the number of girls abused by their male teachers is nowhere near 40,000 per annum. The obsession that too many (though by no means all) Ugandans have with indulging in gay bashing may be blinding them to more pressing and serious matters.

1. those soaring food prices (which are very worrying – my UG friends are really hurting as a result of these),

2. the 43,000 or so female victims of child sex abuse, and

3. growing unrest in Kampala.

Good governance involves setting proper priorities, and I hope the ‘sensible ones’ in the UG body-politic will do just that.

(I’m trying to be helpful here. I have many UG friends and do care about UG’s welfare.)

Perhaps Maazi should be given a talk about the birds and the bees. Some things, like who you fall in love with, aren’t chosen. And what two love birds do behind closed doors shouldn’t really concern him.

We posted simultaneously. Of course, your point strikes me as entirely to the logical mind.

It is indeed a great shame that the existence of the Bill is apparently hurting the Ugandan economy at a time when food, and many other, prices are soaring.

The fact that development partners have tended to give ‘the benefit of the doubt’ in the past does strongly suggest that it is principally the existence of this proposed savage and discriminatory legislation that leading to this new, tougher, approach. Deeply regrettable. The sooner the Bill is killed, the better for everyone.

Couldn’t have put it better myself.

(‘Maazi’ is perfectly entitled to criticise aspects of other countries if he wishes, and has done so frequently in the past.)

looks like maazi’s ninety whatever percent of ugandans has just dropped to forty something percent.

* They are both straight, by the way – so no need for anyone to get all excited.
