President Museveni has finally assented to the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, 2023 to make it law
The Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among revealed the development today.
Having been passed by parliament, President Museveni returned the Anti-Homosexuality bill back to parliament for improvement.
Consequently after making amendments, parliament passed the Anti gay bill for the second time.
The Speaker of Parliament has hailed the president for finally assenting to the bill that she said will protect the Ugandan cultures.
The development comes on the backdrop of fears expressed by members of the public, including Members of Parliament over the ability by the president to assent to the law.
Many said by assenting to the law, Uganda risked sanctions from the west.
However, speaking to reporter recently, the State Minister for Foreign Affairs, Henry Okello Oryem said whereas government recognizes the threat of sanctions, it will not be backing down.
