Hehehe, you heard right. Women in Uganda who go out wearing
mini-skirts could face jail or a heavy fine under draconian new
anti-pornography laws. Uganda's ethic and integrity minister, Simon Lokodo,
proposed the Anti-pornography Bill where those found guilty of abetting
pornography will be fined up to 10 million Ugandan shillings (£2,500) or jailed
for up to 10 years, or both.
If it is passed, the legislation will also ban television
dramas and films and sexy celebs such as Beyoncé and Madonna would be banned
from Ugandan television, even internet use will be monitored.
Hmm, Ugandans don't joke with their conservative laws and
cultures o, my brother lives in America and he's married to a Ugandan. His
mother in-law never stays in the same room with him o because it is a taboo not
to talk of them shaking hands, ha (smh) that one na wahala, lol. Many Ugandans
are against the idea and some have taken to Twitter to express their outrage
using the hashtag #SaveMiniSkirt. LMAO @ #SaveMiniSkirt!
