I read on Box Turtle Bulletin that he is a de-frocked Catholic Priest. I won’t print here what crossed my mind.

I’m curious to know under what EXISTING Ugandan law this latest attack on peaceful freedom of expression was carried out. (It sounds rather as if something akin to Clause 13 is being used, even though the AHB has not been enacted.)

Uganda is a sewer run by sewer rats on the take.

To bad, Uganda used to be a Tourist destination but I dare say with all this bad press of intolerance tourists are not going to want to visit there. Oh well there is always South Africa, a true democracy.

Ironic that the Minister of Ethics and Integrity shows neither in his actions toward fellow citizens.

But Fr. Lokodo says as the person mandated to maintain good morals in Uganda, it was his duty to ensure people do not meet to discuss “immoral acts” in public places like hotels.

They actually have a "morality policeman" in Uganda? Where has he been concerning the graft and corruption in Ugandan government?

Just imagine if Ugandans filthy despotic ¨politicos¨ actually grew some brains and understanding of reality (instead of constantly/defensively trying to deflect their general stupidity, personal dishonesty/lack of personal accountability and cultural neglect/worse)? It´s the exploiters who are having a run at the kind of society once enjoyed by President for Life Idi Amin! Unfortunately, the innocent will suffer the vile acts of ¨coverup¨ by their corrupt leaders.

The Minister was clearly insubordinate and in violation of cabinet solidarity in presuming to implement a bill that the government officially opposes. In a normal Parliamentary system, he would surely be sacked.
