Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Education Ministry has expressed worries that a decision by the World Bank Group to suspend funding (loans) to Uganda could significant impact on the planned infrastructural development in the sector.<\/p>\n

The State Minister for Primary Education Dr Joyce Moriku Kaducu stated that the World Bank decision has already dealt the sector a huge blow and that many critical planned projects will stall.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all feel sad because as the education sector, following the World Bank\u2019s decision to suspend funding to Uganda, we are grossly affected,\u201d Dr Kaducu said on Friday while officiating at the Silver Jubilee celebrations of Universal Education in Uganda in Gulu City.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ministry was very hopeful to get a lot of funds for the rehabilitation of the traditional secondary schools, for the primary schools and many other infrastructures within the education sector, but the World Bank said no money for us because we Okayed the anti-gay law,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Minister for ICT and National Guidance, Dr Chris Baryomunsi, said the government will not tolerate the international lending institution\u2019s imposition of immoral cultures such as homosexuality onto Ugandans for the sake of foreign financial cooperation.<\/p>\n

The World Bank on Monday said it has frozen approving new loans to Uganda over the anti-gay law, which they said contradicts the bank\u2019s values and vision of eradicating poverty on a livable planet which can only succeed if it includes everyone irrespective of race, gender, or sexuality.<\/p>\n

This means that no new project Uganda undertakes, apart from the current and still running 22 national and four regional projects worth $5.4 billion in World Bank funding, will be considered.<\/p>\n

The Anti-Homosexuality Act came into effect on May 26 after President Museveni assented to a Bill that was passed by Parliament on May 2.<\/p>\n
