The United States government has revoked the visa for Speaker to Parliament, Anita Among over the passing and subsequent passing of the Anti-Homosexuality law.

 


The mover of the bill in parliament and Bugiri Municipality MP, Asuman Basaalirwa told journalists today. Basaalirwa insisted that Among has become the first victim of the Anti-Homosexuality bill passed by parliament and has since been signed into law by President Museveni.

 

He said he too could have been targeted by the US government but noted that his visa was not found anywhere, adding that they will not be shaken by the visa cancellations.

He dared the US and UK governments to revoke visas for President Museveni who assented to the bill to make it law and all the Members of Parliament.

 

The development comes hours after President Museveni assented to the Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2023 to make it law. Speaker Anita Among hailed the president for the move.
