Ugandans on social media platforms Twitter and Facebook have been briefly distracted from the ongoing westgate mall siege in neighbouring Kenya’s capital Nairobi thanks to comments made by the the country’s state minister for Youth and Children’s Affairs, Ronald Kibuule on rape victims.

The minister is quoted to have said that he wants the Uganda Police to charge indecently dressed rape victims with ‘inviting the crime’.
While addressing youth in Kajara County, Ntungamo District on Saturday, Mr Kibule said the police should instead charge the victims with inviting the crime, according to the Daily Monitor.
“I have talked to the IGP and the police in Kampala to see that if a woman is raped they look at how she was dressed. Most women currently dress poorly especially the youth. If she is dressed poorly and is raped, no one should be arrested,” Mr Kibule reportedly said.
This has not gone down well with most Ugandans on Facebook and Twitter with many bashing the minister’s ‘shallow’ reasoning and as you read this, a campaign is underway calling for his resignation.
