Wikileaks: Uganda’s First Lady behind the Anti-Homosexuality Bill

Actually, John Nagenda’s statement is inaccurate. I would rather say that Mrs Museveni supported the 2009 version of the Bahati Bill. She was definitely not behind it. Her support for the bill was a well-known fact and was always in the public domain.

Mr Nagenda said Buturo is using the anti-homosexuality legislation to redefine himself and “will do anything in his power to be a populist.”

This is just conjecture on the part of John Nagenda. I have never seen Buturo as anything, but a light weight politician. His vociferous rejection of gayism is no different from that of an average Ugandan. I doubt it had anything to do with being populist per se. He genuinely dislikes gayism and was not afraid to say so publicly even when his colleagues were scared to offend the donor blackmailers.

He advised the US and other donors to refrain from publicly condemning the Bill as this fuels the anti-homosexual and anti-western rhetoric of the Bill’s proponents.

Donors are too arrogant to remain silent publicly on such matters. I am sure the US embassy officials stared at John Nagenda with the contempt he deserves before continuing with their public blackmail of the Ugandan people.
