Reply #40: Hillary Clinton has brought pressure to Uganda to kill the bill

[IndianaGreen]

Per original story:

Dr Ruhakana Rugunda, the former minister of internal affairs, who is now Uganda’s representative at the UNSC was expected to arrive in Uganda on Friday. It’s unclear what his schedule will be or if a briefing to President Yoweri Museveni on the impact of the proposed Bill on his work in New York is in the works.

Mr Museveni also revealed that he had received several phone calls from world leaders, including from US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. His reaction, say observers, shows that the Uganda government is taking the issue seriously enough.

In true fundie fashion, Bahati is also blaming an American author for his troubles:

“We need to protect our children and stop recruitment,” he says.

In the interview with Inside Politics Mr Bahati blames American author Jeff Sharlet who writes about the intersection between religion and politics.

“Sharlet is a liar and is responsible for generating the interest in this Bill abroad. He just wants to sell his book,” Mr Bahati says referring to the author’s new book “The Family. The Secret Fundamentalism at the heart of American power.” The book profiles The Fellowship, the organisation that has invited Mr Bahati to the prayer breakfast next month.
