Historically and today Agriculture has been the backbone of Uganda’s economy and the country boasts of several exports from Agriculture like Coffee, Sugar, Milk, Meat among others.
A long the way, several other sectors like mining, ICT, tourism among others have boomed and earn the country a lot of money which is in millions of dollars both from sales, services and taxes.
However, there’s a sector that has not been yet recognized but actors dealing in the said business are minting cash and according to the West Budama North Constituency’s Hon Fox Odoi, it’s high time government legalized prostitution such that the economy can get some cash from the business.
This stirred mixed reactions some praising the legislator for bringing up such an important suggestion that could shake tables when it makes it to the floor of parliament but others condemning the MP saying his suggestion would clearly erode the moral fiber of this country.
“I strongly feel, we should legalise prostitution, we should regulate that sector, promote it, make some money from it. For us as legislators, our forte isn’t morality. Morality is for the reverends, canons and the Fathers” -said Budama West’s Fox Odoi.
