This is NOT Leadership. We seek

Uganda People’s Congress party members have criticised the controversial anti-gay legislation, arguing that it will distort the state’s relationship with the donors.
Mama Miria Obote, the party president, told journalists yesterday during a press briefing at party headquarters in Kampala that the Bill should be withdrawn since there already laws that governs homosexuality. “This Bill was tabled to disrupt our donors. This is unfortunate because half of our budget comes from these donors so we need their support. We cannot afford to put in place laws that will distract the flow of funds into the state because it is what we solely depend on,” she argued.

I sadly read what the UPC leader? says, I wonder if she is a mother? How can you say the bill disrupts the donors, what kind of leadership is she offering? Is this the way she is going to lead Uganda? To take us back to dependence on foreigners to an extent of allowing them to make laws for us? Point of Information Madam Miria, Uganda currently supports 100% of it's budget and 35% of it's development budget. If our tax base is consolidated, we shall be able to support all. And if donor's money comes with strings to allowing homosexuality, then we better die than allow this to happen. You loose our support for your party, and are you in defence of Otunu?

The Bill currently before Parliament proposes a life imprisonment for anyone convicted of homosexuality and the death penalty in certain circumstances. While broadly supported domestically, the legislation has caused a storm of protest abroad.
President Museveni early this week during a party meeting said the private member’s Bill had become a matter of international concern and more consultation was needed.
“It’s a foreign policy issue, and we must handle it in a way that does not compromise our principles but also takes into account our foreign policy interests.”

UPC members, however, explained that the government is steering the Bill to cover-up for its past misdeeds so as to withdraw the public’s attention from more developmental issues. Mr Yonasani Kanyomozi, the party’s National Chairman, told Daily Monitor that the government was directly involved in formulating the Bill but disguised it as Mr David Bahati’s, the MP who proposed it. “This is not Bahati’s Bill; it is a government Bill which was put in place to distract the public from the government’s corruption cases.”

We know that opposition parties have been paid or been promised to be paid alot of money by Donors if they distance themselves from the bill. I have personally followed the drawing of this bill and I know of UPC MPs and other opposition MPs who were involved in drawing the bill and sponsoring it. So UPC's statements are unfounded and baseless, and if they think they can get sympathy from Donors, they loose out on 95% of Ugandans who do not support homosexulity. This is surely not the Leadership. We seek
