From Masaka City chaos to Teso Sanctions.
A section of youths in Teso sub region have considered to issue local sanctions against National Unity Platform President (NUP) Robert Kyagulanyi for inciting the UK government to sanction Speaker Anet Among Anita.
According to the youth who met at Hyde Park Hotel in Soroti City on Monday, 20th May, 2024 is in retaliation to Bobi Wine’s proud claim that he pushed the UK government to recently sanction Speaker Anita.
Mr. Brian Olyoko Mulonga, the Soroti City East former deputy speaker says they are finalizing with consultations with local leaders to ban Bobi wine from stepping his foot in Teso.
“Bobi Wine brags that he visited UK and freely claims to be behind the sanctions of the Speaker, the homosexuality bill was passed by Members of Parliament not Speaker Anita as an individual, so as the youth of Teso we are going to declare a Persona Non Grata in Teso,” said Mr. Mulonga.
Mr. Mulonga also added that Speaker Anita to stand to defend the sovereignty of people of Uganda and the country at large is not a wrong decision.
“We as people of Teso are ready to stand with our own daughter Anita not for anything else but for being strong to defend the Norms of Iteso,” added Mr. Mulonga.
Ms. Judith Akado, Soroti city Female councilor representing the people of Pioneer Ward says the pride of Iteso is marriage and producing children so they cannot accept to be ripped by the money minded individuals who are against the bible.
“We as Iteso are ready to produce children as stated by the bible between a man and a woman but not man and man”, said Ms. Akado.
Mr. Francis Erau, the Soroti city renowned businessman who doubles as the chairperson Iteso community said they are taking serious action to protest to Parliament to seek for a clear explanation concerning the UK sanctions against the Speaker.
“This must be put clear, if Anita is a criminal let them sue her in courts of law rather than disturbing her peace, we are going to parade all the streets of Teso and protest to Parliament, we cannot see our own being intimidated,” said Mr. Erau.
In the same vein, Mr. Erau called upon the Iteso cultural leader, His Highness, Paul Sande Emolot to interest himself in UK sanctions against Anita Among.
