The speaker of Uganda’s National Assembly Rebecca Kadaga has caused controversy and sparked sharp criticisms after she was spotted last weekend visiting a shrine in her rural home to thank ancestors for her re-election.

Ugandan men are baying for her blood, with an MP and her fierce critic threatening her with a curse of death for engaging in an ungodly act. Male members of parliament are criticising her, as if engaging in thanksgiving prayers is a heinous crime in Uganda.
