The Buturo in question is the bastidge responsible for the vile anti-gay law that shocked (a little) even the homophobic evangelists in America who actively worked to lay the ground for it.

October 19, 2010 in Ugandan Media | by James Onen | Leave a comment
<Just so we’re clear - the phrase ‘oldie but goodie’ in the title of this post doesn’t refer to the Minister of Ethics and Integrity – rather, it refers to my response that was published in June 2009. Thanks!>
One of my first public excursions into freethought advocacy was in form of a response to an article written by the Minister of Ethics and Integrity, James Nsaba Buturo, on June 1st 2009 called “Anti-God secularists want to dictate national agenda”.
In his typical fashion, rather than take the time to investigate and find out what is really the cause of the problems Uganda is facing, he attacks one of his favourite scapegoats – secularists.
He wrote…
Battles are being fought in the theatres of the media, schools, churches and in the minds of Ugandans. Forces of secularism and extreme liberalism are pitted against those which are advocating for a morally upright and spiritually-inclined Uganda. There are many Ugandans who believe that in this war, secular forces are having an edge over their opponents.
…he continued…
Secularists have reasoned, therefore, that if they can succeed in weaning Ugandans of God, they will have succeeded in exposing and rendering them vulnerable to dangerous, abnormal, illegal and unnatural practices such as homosexuality.
He concludes..
Our preferred choice must be to ensure that Uganda is rejuvenated and transformed and that our leaders put God first in their national duties.
Ugandans must be wary of anti-God secularists and extreme liberalists who seek to dictate the national agenda. The objective of all citizens of goodwill must be to decapitate Uganda of the tag of moral degeneration.
