MENGO
- A senior official at Mengo has asked President Yoweri Museveni
to ban nude dances, popularly known as ekimansulo, saying they will undo
Uganda's gains in the fight against HIV/Aids.
"When the
president came out strongly against the homosexuals, they went
underground. He should equally condemn the nude dancing," the Minister of
Education and Sports in the Buganda Kingdom, Mr J.C. Muyingo,
said.
He was
presiding at the Open Day for Makindye Junior Academy in Luwafu last week.
Muyingo said
the nude dance promoters are envying Uganda's success story in the fight
against HIV/Aids.
"It's a
contradiction for a government credited for having a success story in the
fight against Aids to allow young girls dance naked on stage as men
watch," he said. "It's a tragedy; this country is doomed."
Muyingo also
asked government to facilitate a cultural and religious leaders campaign
against certain western cultural practices.
"There seems
to be a ploy to force bad cultures on us. We survived this campaign in the
colonial era but it has been re-introduced with big money following it,"
he
said.
