Dan OgwangAfter raiding the offices of Walter Reed Project for training homosexuals earlier, the Uganda Police have now alleged that the now closed Makerere University Walter Reed Project (MUWRP) actively recruited and trained homosexuals.
In a statement on last week’s raid on the project offices, Mr Fred Enanga the police spokesman said that they had evidence that managers of the project were training young males aged 18-25 on how to engage in unnatural sex.
However according to a spokesperson for the United States Embassy in Kampala, the project funders, however, dismissed the police account as “fabrications”.
Uganda recently passed a law criminalizing homosexuality.
