There is a video clip attributed to MP Onesmus Twinamatsiko encouraging violence against women. This came immediately after HE the president castigated men who are wife bearers while he presided over the International Women’s Day celebrations in Busuubizi, Mityana District. If it’s true, it would be very unfortunate, unforgivable.
What he is promoting is unacceptable as it facilities crime: assault (Penal Code Act), domestic violence (Domestic Violence Act 2010) and others.
We have it on good authority that the Rt. Hon. Speaker of Parliament will soon institute an inquiry into these assertions. Why the other leaders are are silent about these things? Must we not hold leaders to the highest ethical standards? We shall patiently wait for the action of parliament.
