THE state minister for information, Nsaba Buturo, has said Uganda is under a moral attack and called on Christians to heighten their moral and social responsibility.
Buturo said several immoral practices such as pornography, homosexuality, witchcraft, defilement and rape were increasingly becoming acceptable norms in society.
“Unless we rise up and condemn these evils, those behind them are lobbying for their acceptance as rights,†he said.
Buturo said this during a RHEMA breakfast meeting at the Grand Imperial Hotel in Kampala recently.
RHEMA is a local Christian women network concerned with the restoration and promotion of good morals.
He condemned The Red Pepper article on the late foreign affairs minister James Wapakhabulo’s lifestyle, saying he had directed the media council to take action against the tabloid’s editor.
“It is a standard practice everywhere else that when a person is dead and is, therefore, not around to defend him or herself, it is immoral and purely unethical to make dangerous allegations against such a person,†he said.
He warned media houses against this ‘immoral journalism’.
Buturo commended RHEMA for their effort to transform society, adding that it was a social responsibility worth emulating.
He described politicians seeking external assistance in order to end the northern war being in ‘crisis of confidence’.
Buturo advised them to be patriotic.
