A section of members of parliament has invited the government to move out and explain the Anti-Homosexuality Act clause by clause to the international community in order to clear the misconception and propaganda waged against Uganda which portrays the law as the harshest and cruel law against human rights.
Legislators claim that the bill has been deliberately distorted by Western Propagandist to blackmail Uganda which saw World Bank suspending new funding to projects in Uganda.
Before assenting to the Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law, President Museveni returned it to parliament to reconsider clauses that were thought to be harsh on perpetrators. However, even after trimming clauses that were thought cruel, the law has continued to be regarded as harsh by the international community which has attracted agencies like World Bank to throw sanctions at Uganda. Asuman Basalirwa the lawmaker that moved the has come out to clear misconceptions about the law.
Basalirwa says there have been deliberate efforts by the West to distort the law that criminalizes homosexuality to portray Uganda as a state that is insensitive to human rights
Now legislators have called upon the government to make a deliberate campaign to explain the law to the international community and clear out gaps in misconception. They find it necessary for Uganda envoys to have clear information concerning the anti-homosexuality act clause per clause and use it to change the narratives.
But still, lawmakers are concerned with the way World Bank treats gay rights as superior rights against the right to rife, right to food, and other fundamental rights that have been always violated by governments with no sanctions taken against them.
