LGBTQ : Immigration Officer Kasumba Implicated in Homosexual Acts Wanted
Richard Kasumba, an immigration officer at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is reportedly wanted for his alleged involvement in homosexuality, according to credible sources. An investigation committee, initiated by the human resource officer at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, reportedly found Kasumba guilty of engaging in homosexual activities and recruiting fellow staff members, both actions deemed illegal under Uganda’s laws.
Our reliable source revealed that Kasumba was transferred from the ministry’s headquarters to the immigration offices in Ngomoromo and later to Mbale during the course of the investigations. However, despite being found guilty, Kasumba has reportedly gone missing, leading the source to suspect that he may have fled the country upon learning of the investigation’s outcomes, especially after some victims confessed.
The internal affairs ministry, in collaboration with the Internal Security Organization, handled the matter, and it has now been turned over to the police for further action.
It is important to note that in May of the previous year, President Museveni signed the Anti-Homosexuality bill into law, implementing one of the world’s strictest anti-LGBTQ regulations, including the death penalty for aggravated homosexuality.
