No more Beyonce on TV and miniskirts more of traditional wear in Uganda.


                                                   


Women in Uganda who go out wearing mini-skirts could face jail or a heavy fine under draconian new anti-pornography laws. 


The legislation would also see television dramas and films banned if it is passed by parliament.
The Anti-Pornography Bill 2011 proposes that those found guilty of abetting pornography be fined up to 10 million Ugandan shillings (£2,500) or jailed for up to 10 years, or both. 
Simon Lokodo, Uganda's ethics and integrity minister, who proposed the  Bill, said: 'Any attire which exposes intimate parts of the human body, especially areas that are of erotic function, are outlawed. Anything above the knee is outlawed. If a woman wears a miniskirt, we will arrest her



 
                                                        
'Television should not broadcast a sexy person,' he said.

He added: 'On the internet, we're going to put a monitoring system so we know who has watched which website and we know who has watched pornographic material.

Na wa oh......
