Police is Hunting for the Court of Appeal employee over Homosexuality Charges

Uganda Police is hunting for one Nakimuli Halima 33, a transcriber at the Court of Appeal in Kampala over promoting Homosexuality acts.

It is alleged that Nakimuli a resident of Nantabulirirwa in Goma Division Mukono District, has been working hand in hand with some of the LGBTQ organizations which advocates for the rights of Homosexuals in Uganda.

The law considers one of the harshest of its kind in Uganda, contains provisions making “aggravated homosexuality” a potentially capital offence and penalties for consensual same-sex relations of up to life imprisonment.

The Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson Racheal Kawala told this news website on Monday that the authorities have launched a hunt for Nakimuli and others after a tip off by Mr. Kironde Tonny who reported a case at CID Central Police station Kampala in 2024, saying that his daughter Milly Wanyana was seduced by Nakimuli to engage in unlawful acts.

Kawala said that according to the information from the intelligence shows that Nakimuli is also working with “Trans-Net international” the NGO that promotes  Homo-sexuality in the Country whose proprietors are also needed by the authorities.

She added that Nakimuli was renting a two roomed house in Mengo Kampala where she used to keep young girls and introduce Homosexuality literature to them.

“She was summoned to appear before police in 2024 to answer charges on the case file number, REF; 61/15/01/2024, but she never reported to honor her summons conditions, she has been on a run since then.

We are still on a hunt to arrest Nakimuli and a group because what they are doing is not allowed in this country, The law has been passed and signed by the president its now our cardinal role to put it into action” Kawala added.

The United Nations, foreign governments including the United States, and global rights groups condemned the new legislation, which was signed into law in May 2023.

The World Bank announced it was suspending new loans to the East African nation, saying the law “fundamentally contradicts” the values espoused by the US-based lender.

But the government has remained defiant and the legislation has broad support in the conservative, predominantly Christian country, where lawmakers have defended the measures as a necessary bulwark against perceived Western immorality.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni accused the World Bank of using money to try to “coerce” the government to drop the controversial legislation
