Lobbyists blasted
KAMPALA — State minister for ethics and integrity Tim Lwanga has said people who want prostitution legalised are promoting immorality. Speaking during a seminar on sexuality at Makerere University on Saturday, Lwanga said, “The level of morality has gone so low that there is lobbying to legalise prostitution and have prostitutes represented in Parliament. That is boosting sex as a commodity.”

Director petitions
