UGANDA – 22 October 2009: Pastors led by the Executive Director of Arising for Christ, Solomon Male, yesterday petitioned parliament accusing their fellow pastors of sodomising young boys.
The pastors under their umbrella organisation, the National Coalition against Homosexuality and Sexual Abuses in Uganda, in a petition handed over to the Speakers of Parliament Mr. Edward Ssekandi said the issue of homosexuality has to be addressed as a matter of urgency.
“The homosexuals are taking us for a ride. They keep telling us that we must leave them to stay. We call on the parliament to institute an inqury into homosexuality and all other forms of sexual abuses,” Pastor Male said.
Mr. Male in the company of pastors Michael Kyazze of the Omega Healing Centre and Bob Kayiira alleged that a number of their colleagues who have sodomised minors are walking scot-free.
He accused the Police of harassing them for exposing homosexuality among senior pastors. Mr. Ssekandi said Parliament shall handle the matter to its logical conclusion.
“It is good you have come at a time when there is a Bill on homosexuality,” Mr. Ssekandi said.
“Your input will help the responsible committee and when they start public hearings, they shall invite you to help them their work.”
