Kironde   That is true but as a Muganda who has just come back from Uganda, one can not help but wonder where the morals have all but gone, and if that is what the introduction of cultural institution has delivered, and we continue with the same speed, by 2007 Mengo will wonder why it ever even existed.   Em               The Mulindwas Communication Group "With Yoweri Museveni, Uganda is in anarchy"             Groupe de communication Mulindwas "avec Yoweri Museveni, l'Ouganda est dans l'anarchie" ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed Kironde To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2003 1:41 AM Subject: RE: ugnet_: Mengo asks Museveni to ban nude dances (ekimansulo) I think the government can regulate nude dances without tampering with people’s free speech!   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Omar Kezimbira Sent: Friday, November 14, 2003 6:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ugnet_: Mengo asks Museveni to ban nude dances (ekimansulo)   Nude dances irk Mengo By Mercy Nalugo< Nov 15, 2003 -Monitor 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.   © 2003 The Monitor Publications Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
