Buturo Vows to Fight Homosexuality
08 Oct 2007-
Kampala, Uganda- The Minister for Ethics and Integrity, James Nsaba Buturo, has
vowed to block the demand for recognition of gay's rights, reports
Conan Businge.
"The Government shall do whatever it takes
to block the spread of homosexuality."
People who are agitating for those rights
are selfish individuals with callous intention, Buturo said, adding that: "They
are trying to impose a strange, ungodly, unhealthy, unnatural, and immoral way
of life on the rest of our society."
"I will endeavour to block it. I can assure
you on that. Let them go to another country, and not here," the furious Buturo
said.
His reaction comes a week after the State
Minister for Youth and Children's Affairs, James Kinobe, revealed that a Bill on
homosexuality was in the offing.
Kinobe also vowed to oppose the demand for
recognition of the gay's rights. The youth, he said, are the main target of the
'discreditable and negative forces'.
Buturo, who represented the Minister of
Information and National Guidance, Kirunda Kivejinja, at the 10th graduation
ceremony of YMCA at the institute's campus in Kampala last week, presided over
the opening of an Information Communication and Technology block and a new
computer laboratory at the institute's premises.
A total of 983 students graduated with
diplomas and certificates in the different courses that included Secretarial
Studies, Purchasing and Supplies, Marketing, Tailoring and Fashion Designing,
Guidance and Counselling, and Nursery Teacher Education.
