Chris Obore, Director of Communication & Public Affairs at the Parliament of Uganda, has vehemently refuted the sanctions imposed on Uganda’s Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among. According to Obore, these sanctions are baseless and unrelated to corruption, as alleged. Instead, he claims they are centered around issues of homosexuality, which he argues is being used as a pretext by opposition groups in Uganda to solicit sanctions from Western countries.
Obore asserts that the opposition in Uganda is actively lobbying Western nations to impose sanctions as a form of retaliation against the government. He suggests that these groups are disgruntled and seeking to utilize sanctions as a means to pressure and intimidate other African nations that may consider passing anti-homosexuality laws. Additionally, he claims that Ugandan courts have also been a target of opposition dissatisfaction.
