Human Rights Bodies Back Museveni’s View on Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill
No Comments
The Arcadia Foundation and the Foundation for Human Rights Initiative have backed the Ugandan President’s view on the controversial Anti-Homosexuality Bill.
The bill, tabled by Ndorwa West MP late last year proposes a death penalty for the offenders. This has caused obvious concern from the developed world.
Addressing the NRM NEC meeting yesterday, Museveni advised MPs to go slow with the Bill saying it may affect Uganda’s Foreign Policy.
The Arcadia Foundation views this as a positive step; this signifies a leader attuned to the views of both the international community and to domestic prosperity, a President who clearly understands the link between the two and how an economy with such heavy ties to trade can be shaken to its foundation over such a bill being passed.
Appearing on Vision Voice’s News maker program this morning, the Executive Director of the foundation for Human Rights Initiative, Livingston Sewanyana said the Bill infringes on human rights.
We will be featuring an exclusive interview with Arcadia Foundation President Betty Bigombe (“chief mediator” in the northern Uganda conflict) on her take of the bill, how the government is currently handling the controversial fallout, and the result she expects. Stay tuned.
