Ugandan Govt. to punish prostitutes

Ugandan Ethics and Integrity minister should come up with a novel idea to curb the flourishing menace of prostitution in Kampala. The fact that the practice still exits in spite of stringent laws to curb them implies that the problem lay somewhere else. There are factors that are helping promote prostitution. Women are either forced or else they make a conscious choice to pursue it. Those who are forced to enter prostitution have either been trafficked or else are economically unsound to sustain themselves. How can the government think of punishing this category? Instead, the ethics minister should step forward and rescue such women besides providing them with a viable economic alternative so that they can enjoy a decent living. Those who make a deliberate choice too cannot be punished because in the end it is the men who help run the business by patronizing it. Next time while driving through streets lined with prostitutes, Ugandan men should make a deliberate choice of ignoring and driving through or else getting distracted and ending up in a brothel. Practicing the former will definitely wipe off the need for such regressive laws.

In Ugand you are in the middle of aids senter and other sexual diseases. You spread the death with your act. Dont you understand that? And if you in Uganda want tourism, you must stop bother them in the night when they are sleaping in their hotels, with pushing sex offer at the door and in the phone. It is disgusting.

...... prostitution is a source of income... why not have more jobs available thus less desperation.... Jobs in Uganda are more of who you know rather than what you are capable of doing....
