By Gad Masereka
In an effort to find African solutions for African challenges, the Pan African Pyramid (PAP) debates chaired by its Speaker Andrew Irumba Katusabe on Friday, March 15, 2024, provided a pivotal platform for thought-provoking discussions on “21st Century African Renaissance & Awakening vs LGBTQ Assault on Africa.” Diverse speakers from various backgrounds shared unique perspectives and insights during this engaging event at Fairway Hotel in Kampala.
While delivering his speech, Ayo Kimathi, a renowned social architect and activist, delivered a powerful speech that called for African unity and resilience in the face of ongoing challenges especially the so called sodomy.
Kimathi emphasized the importance of recognizing and addressing the struggles faced by African communities worldwide. His raw emotion and unwavering dedication left a lasting impact on Ugandans who were present, urging them to embrace their heritage and fight against divisive forces.
During his unapologetic speech, Kimathi mocked Bobi Wine’s alleged support for LGBTQ rights when he attended a certain conference in Maryland, stating that he observed Bobi Wine smiling at the opportunity to gain financial support, seemingly indifferent to the agenda being pushed. He also highlighted external influences on African affairs, particularly regarding LGBTQ rights. He shared his opposition to agendas promoting homosexuality in Africa, stressing the need to defend African interests and resist foreign ideologies.
Following Kimathi’s speech, Andrew Irumba Katusabe, the PAP speaker took the stage to deliver a message of courage and activism. He emphasized the importance of individual bravery in confronting societal challenges and using technology as a tool for positive change.
Katusabe called upon African Africans to encouraging them to speak their truth and champion the African cause.
While addressing issues of gender identity and societal norms, Katusabe noted that the so called minority should not have any say coz God created men and women. “You’re supposed to live as a man or a woman if you still have that intelligence,” he stated, urging a critical examination of societal narratives and expectations.
With Free Entrance, PAP Debates happen every Friday at Fairway Hotel Kampala from 5 pm-8 pm and a recorded version of the show is broadcast on NBS Television every Saturday from 4 pm-pm and repeats every Monday from 2 pm -3 pm.
