Obama Criticised Over Anti Gay Bill

Uganda's ethics and integrity minister dismisses virulent criticism of his country's proposed anti-gay law by United States President, Barack Obama.

Uganda's Ethics and Integrity Minister, James Nsaba Buturo, has dismissed virulent criticism of his country's proposed anti-gay law by United States President, Barack Obama, and warned that any interference will be unacceptable.

Buturo argues that, "Somebody should tell President Obama that the parliament is doing its legislative duty in the interest of the people of Uganda."

Buturo, who is one of the main Ugandan proponents of the bill which will further criminalise homosexuality and even gay rights advocacy, vowed that Ugandan MPs will not be swayed by US or any outside criticism.
