MP Onen Charlse goes straight on Female Honourable councils in a Plenary sitting tragetted at pining the Anti Homosexuality bill 2023.
“Hon. Speaker, when I look at you and the honorable ladies in this house, there is no reason for a man to run foman to run for a man for sex,” said MP Onen Charles.
On Tuesday, the bill that seeks to criminalize homosexuality in Uganda was presented for the second and third reading in parliament during a plenary session that attracted a 3/4 of the total number of Mps in Physical attendance.
Before voting in favor of the bill, several MPs condemned homosexuality and proposed tough punishment for anyone found engaging in it.
Meanwhile, MP Fox Odoi condemned the bill, describing it as unlawful and saying it contravenes existing laws of the land.
“The Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2023 contravenes established international and regional human rights standards as it unfairly limits the fundamental rights of LGBTIQ persons,” MP Odoi argued.
According to him, this criminalization also denies them equal protection under the law, owing to the harsh differential treatment they receive based on their sexual orientation and the criminalization of the same.
