My first interpretation had been that it was a an attempt by Minister Simon Lokodo to justify his Gestapo tactics.
However, it seems as though greater powers than Simon Lokodo have prevailed and he has been forced to sign a hastily written and stinting mea culpa. Best to read it from the horse’s mouth here.
And here is an image of the government’s statement, apparently forcing its Minister of Integrity and Ethics to eat humble pie. Homosexuals will no longer be denied the right to meet and discuss gay issues after all. Or is it that what the statement is saying? My mind is not what it used to be so you will have to decide for yourself:
