Kampala — Just after Matheniko MP, Abura Piriir threatened to strip naked in the House when the Land Bill is passed, the shall-strip-naked-bug now seems to have caught the women.
Addressing a press conference at Parliament on Tuesday, Pader Woman MP Judith Franca Akello threatened to mobilise Acholi women to demonstrate half-naked if the Government does not protect them from Karimojong cattle rustlers. "In Acholi culture, if a woman gets angry and exposes her breasts, it is a curse and spells doom," she threatened.
"The problem is the Karimojong believe all cattle in Uganda are theirs, so they have persistently continued to raid cattle and kill people in Acholi land."
