Ethics and Integrity Minister James Nsaba Buturo, who had earlier promised to remain silent for the remainder of the debate, went back on his vow and strongly defended the bill while hinting that the death penalty might be dropped. In denouncing the international pressure against the bill’s passage, Buturo said:I’ve lived in those countries, and I know how important that issue of aid is. They give, most people there, give in the belief they are helping the poor. Now, you don't help the poor by teaching them about homosexuality, do you?
It's all here, #2here, and #3here.
Ssempa said: "They (the task force) have condemned the efforts of the American president, Barrack Obama, and Hilary Clinton, for using the pulpit of the White House to preach a gospel of sodomy."
Christ Jesus,
to the shock of religious folk
during your lifetime on earth,
you welcomed and dined with sinners;
you shared your table with tax collectors and harlots;
you saved the adulterous woman from being stoned to death.
So, Lord of measureless and unimaginable mercy, spare us
from those who would take up your name
while killing and harming others,
be they sinners or saints,
in contradiction of the example you set
and the gospel of love that you preached,
for we have no other hope or refuge but you.
Do not let your name be disgraced or confused with hate.
Amen.
