I almost have a sneaking admiration for this man’s gall. Noone can say that he doesn’t ‘stick his head above the parapet’!
I wonder he’s making of the Bahati Follies these days. He has gone rather quiet on that front (perhaps I should take back my ‘almost compliment’ above?!).

Perhaps, this time, there is a real determination to decide one way or the other. But then we’ve seen this sort of thing before.

If she is, I for one applaud it! This would be a sensible move for both her and UG; that toxic bill does nothing to protect children.
The order of ‘business to follow’ seems to have changed again: the POMB 2011 is back in front of the Bahati Bill and the Marriage Bill 2011 appears to have ‘leapfrogged’ the same. Perhaps this could give time for sober reflection on the minority report? The best outcome would be for the Bahati Bill to be defeated by a vote – a solution that would be ‘for Uganda’, and ‘made in Uganda’.
