'God will protect us against gays'
16 July 2008-
Uganda's State Minister for Ethics and Integrity Dr James Nsaba Buturo has said
priests like the Achbishop of the Church of Uganda Luke Orombi who are opposed
to gays should not get intimidated because God will protect them.
Dr Buturo
told Africa's Sunday Monitor that
there is no need to beef up security for anti-gay activists in Uganda because
God is protecting them.
"It's true
gays are rough people but men of God should not fear their intimidation.
Ugandans should strengthen their mobilisation against the gay movement because
the government is also committed to support them," he said.
He however
said Archbishop Orombi has a right to ask for security from the government is if
he feels that his life is in danger. Recently, Archbishop Orombi said that gays
were planning to harm him.
Dr Buturo
hailed the Church of Uganda for its stand against homosexuality and promised
that the government will soon put in place mechanisms to fight individuals who
want to turn the order of nature upside down.
"We hear that
some students in our schools have been lured into homosexuality. I appeal to the
investigative arms of the government to quickly compile reports of such students
and their schools so that tough action is taken against them," he said. |
