While addressing parliament on Thursday afternoon , the president’s speech went the unexpected way when he warned the western countries to stop imposing their social practices like homosexuality on Africans.
“The western countries should stop wasting the time of humanity by imposing their social practices on us. Sex is confidential, so why should the public know whether you are a homosexual or not unless you pronounce yourself,” he remarked.
Although expected to address public matters like the conversations around the iron sheets. He spared time to address homosexuality and wondered why western nations threaten to impose sanctions on those who are opposed to homosexuality yet it should be the other way round.
“On the issue of homosexuals, we shall get the time and discuss the matter thoroughly. Homosexuals are deviations from normal. Is it by nature or by nurture? We need to answer those questions. We need a medical opinion on that,” he said.
“In Europe, people marry their cousins but in Uganda and some other parts of Africa, it is taboo to marry your cousin, so should we impose sanctions on them? That is not our problem,” he added.
“The other day I saw some youth on television, saying, we hear about PDM but we don’t see it. Nonsense, go and look for it, it is your fault. Go to the parish and check, it is your money, or check with your MP,” he said.
He thereafter concentrated his speech in the Parish Development Model and the social -economic transformation of Ugandans.
