What gets me is they’ve been talking about this bill for 2 years now, saying that it has flaws, and they’ve done nothing about those flaws. And I guess Ssempa, who has even point out some flaws (those even his points about flaws were flawed!) wants to see the bill passed as is.
If this is how Uganda enacts laws, then their parliament is a laughing-stock.

If US Congress enactment of the Hague Invasion Act was not subject of an international laughing stock, I doubt the Bahati Bill (even in its original atavistic state) would be subject of such attention from the world beyond a narrow band of nosy western nations.

Lynn,
I suspect the Parliament didn’t expect the international reaction to the bill. However, they have realized that any attempt to fix it will probably further hurt Uganda’s international image, on they other hand they don’t want to seem as if they are folding to that pressure, so they say they are “fixing” it while in reality they are hoping to just have it quietly die.

Though even his points about flaws were flawed….
