Ayieko
By Swalley Kenyi
FUFA has slapped an indefinite suspension on tactician Charles ‘Mbuzi’ Ayieko over sodomy allegations.
The suspension comes at a time Police in Lira is investigating the Horizon FC coach on allegations he attempted to sodomise brothers Isaac Omara and David Doii two weeks ago.
Ayieko denied the accusations in Lira.
FUFA coaches commission secretary Stone Kyambadde announced the clampdown on Ayieko at the weekly PostBank FUFA press conference at Mengo yesterday.
The move means Ayieko, who was said to be joining Super League side Iganga TC will not proceed with negotiations with the club.
“I was in Lira. I saw what happened and as a way of protecting our profession, we thought it right to suspend him pending investigations,” Kyambadde said.
FUFA publicist Rogers Mulindwa added that they had requested Police to transfer the case to
He warned that the decision against Ayieko was the beginning of tougher measures FUFA will take to rid football of allegations of homosexuality. But he contends that it was going to be a huge task to achieve because of lack of concrete evidence.
FUFA last week vowed to tackle the homosexual bug by placing tough conditions for coaches.
The coaches’ commission will kick off the campaign effective next season, with its members signing a code of conduct which will have an article that denounces any support or involvement in sodomy-related acts.

The minister added that the government was finalising a draft law aimed at curbing the promotion of gay rights to be tabled in parliament.
Referring to a recent press conference by gay rights campaigners, Buturo said: "That will soon be impossible for them to do... It will impossible for them to issue literature that is aimed at mobilising support."
Buturo has in the past said homosexual sex threatens Ugandan civilization because it does not produce children and accused the United Nations of a secret plot to spread homosexuality.
He has also called for the banning of miniskirts because they can cause road accidents by distracting male drivers.

Government will not yield to homosexual pressure - Buturo
ISMAIL MUSA LADU
The government has issued a stern warning to homosexuals and their sympathisers, saying it will not accept practice of unnatural sex even if it means losing out on the much needed donor support.
The Minister of Ethics and Integrity, Dr Nsaba Buturo, told journalists at the Uganda Media Centre yesterday that they are ready to forfeit any amount of donor funding that is tagged as a condition to accept homosexuality.
“I have been pressured by some donors to allow homosexuality, but I have told them they can keep their money and the homosexuality because it is not about charity at the expense of our moral destruction,” Mr Buturo said.
Mr Buturo said the homosexual forces are very powerful and operating through powerful governments to have their desire fulfilled but
According to Mr Buturo, the country is besieged with sodomy, pornography, prostitution, drug abuse, witchcraft and indirect embezzlement, something that makes
“Nowadays, our country is welcoming and embracing all manners of social evil that are likely to render our society insecure and unproductive. We must do something,” Mr Buturo worriedly said.
He said the government is considering stringent measures with a view to close down makeshift video halls commonly known as “bibanda” and cinemas that he said perpetuate unacceptable behaviour like homosexuality and pornography.
Mr Buturo said whistle blowing, pornography, homosexuality and money laundering bills are all in the offing and will boost the country’s effort to rid the immoral and debilitating excesses that he said is eating the country.
He dismissed the idea that special places be designed for prostitutes to ply their trade saying it does not dignify the trade. He also said all government departments are corrupt save for a few that just show only a semblance of integrity.

Anti-gay Bill to be tabled soon
By Joyce Namutebi
A stringent Bill against homosexuality is in the offing, the state minister for ethics and integrity, Dr. James Nsaba Buturo, has said.
Addressing a press conference at the Media Centre yesterday, Buturo said the country was besieged by homosexuality, pornography, prostitution, human sacrifice, drug abuse, embezzlement and witchcraft to the extent that it was “dangerously becoming a permissive society.”
He noted that once the Bill is passed into law, it will be an offence to publish and distribute literature on homosexuality or advocate for it.
He also stated that it would become impossible for homosexuals to address press conferences and attract people to their cause, once the Bill becomes law.
He, however, declined to reveal the penalties for offenders.
Buturo said he was under pressure from some development partners “to go slow on homosexuals”.
He disclosed that some donors were threatening to withdraw funding if
“I all the time tell them to leave us alone. I say (to them) that

The minister dismissed the notion that people are born homosexual.
“Ugandans who are choosing to promote illegality should not abuse the rights of the majority,” he warned.
Buturo urged religious institutions to fight immorality, arguing that they are “supremely mandated to address matters of the soul.”
He disclosed that he was looking after 60 former homosexuals, saying they are under threat from their former colleagues. He, however, did not name the place where they are being kept.
The minister stressed that the Government would not create special places for prostitutes to do their trade.

A SCOTTISH football manager could lose his job leading an African football team unless he signs a form condemning gays.
Bobby Williamson, the former Rangers and
y other football coach in the country, must sign a code of conduct which "denounces any support or involvement in sodomy related acts".
The game's ruling body acted after Isaac Omalla, a player with Horizon FC, reported his manager, Charles Ayeko, to the police, claiming to have been sexually assaulted by the older man following a match during the inter-regional championships in Lira.
Ugandan newspapers have alleged there is a homosexual culture among some players.
Williamson's employers, the Ugandan FA (FUFA), have now launched a campaign against homosexuality, insisting that all coaches take part. "We are going to address (sodomy] in the code of conduct," said Stone Kyambadde, the vice-chairman of the Ugandan Coaches Association.
"The code will denounce any support or involvement in sodomy-related acts."
He was backed up by FUFA spokesman, Rogers Mulindwa. "We totally condemn it," he said. "We want evidence to pin the people involved. It's here that we will start the clean-up."
Williamson, who has managed Kilmarnock, Hibernian, Plymouth Argyle and
FUFA's document represents something of a moral dilemma for the 47-year-old Scot, who has spoken out against discrimination during his managerial career. He is popular in
"Sodomy is a criminal offence over there but this is the first I've heard of any code of conduct," he said. "Until FUFA speak to me about that it's a hypothetical matter and I'll reserve my views until I'm approached.
"What I will say is that you have to abide by the law of the land in whichever country you happen to be working in.
"There has been a lot of talk about homosexuality in the game in
However, FUFA's actions are unlikely to win the approval of FIFA, the sport's ultimate governing body. While no one at their
The Ugandan football authorities have acted even though the country could be expelled from FIFA if it attempts to enforce the policy.
Uhhhhhhh!
The new beginning was three days ago, wasn’t it?
And then I had to have a gap. Some reasons, why I was away, that is.
Its kind of stressful, this ‘fight’ for gay rights. One has to write because one cares. And if you care, then the various twists and turns kind of take it out on you. I may not be the one being arrested, or accused, or denounced, directly, but all these things matter. And day in, day out, the toll is considerable.
Sometimes, for a while I didn’t consider it. But I am only human. Consider that toll I have to, and must. And then I have to draw back and rest and wonder.
Thanks people, for pulling for me, for us. We cant do it without you. As Obama said of
I have gone through the comments to the RRR post. Well, interesting. Anon, you can sign your name here. You don’t have to remain anonymous. You know, you can put a name to your hate and ignorance. (Or wisdom and flair, as you may call it.) It is okay with me. And of course, you have a perfect right to abuse me on my blog, or not to come and look at it.
Ha, the witch-hunt…
Still ongoing, though the turn it has taken is kind of interesting.
More and more pastors are being ‘accused’ by the major anti-gay pastors. The crusade by Messrs Ssempa. Latest I think was a Pastor Leslie. Don’t know much about the guy, except that he has another ‘mega church’ on
The football association has suspended one coach or referee(?) on allegations of homosexuality. Seems as if football has taken that seriously.
And there are various news of doings in the homosexual community, you know, the kind of allegations and counter allegations which make life more and more interesting.
And what is happening in the kuchu community?
News of homosexuality is no longer news. I mean, with the pastors fighting, it is so much less newsworth to label just another John Doe, or Mukasa as a ‘homosexual’. Of course, the problem may be that the public is credulous about the ulteriour motivation behind the witchhunt. They are, cant help being so!
The kuchu community continues doing what it does. Cant say that I am missing sex. Fact. It is more hidden, and less likely to make a pass to a stranger on Kampala Road, or at say, ‘High Table’, but, with the correct play of the eyes, one can work out who and who is or is not safe!
Oh, by the way, today, Wed 1st July, the news is that Homosexuals are to be stripped of their Human Rights. That is according to the Minister of State for Ethics and Integrity.
It is going to be in the news tomorrow, and I will see whether I can post something here.
Means that ‘normalcy’ is still reigning supreme in the Pearl of Africa.
