Referring closely to the Anti Pornography Act 2014 select a literary text and justify why it should not circulate in the Ugandan public space: Sekandi Ibrahim

First of all I justify I took a broad interpretation of two songs, justifying that they should not circulate in the Ugandan public space because they defy the rubs in the Anti Pornography Act 2004. For starters briefly the Anti Pornography Act has been defined as any presentation through publication, exhibition, cinematography, indecent show, in whatever means of a person engaged in real or stimulated explicit seasonal activities. Beginning with Maria Gladys Namulome aka Margla’s SONG, “Tinku” which was banned in December 2012. The First Lady Janet Museveni was shocked on seeing this video/ It was comprised of A G-string Fishnet jumpsuit costume Bra that was showing the cleavage Literary Margla leaves nothing to imagination with her G-string in the video showing her butt which is pornographic hence fourth when young kids watch this video it will stimulate bad behaviors inciting indiscipline into the young generation hence it shouldn’t be on circulate in the Ugandan public. Furthermore, the fishnet jumpsuit costume which leaves no stone unturned when she’s performing the song she shows off her body in a fishnet jumpsuit in that when someone looks at her body they can look through and penetrate their eyes through the jumpsuit which is a sign of nudity and for this video to circulate in the Ugandan media it would head to the destroying of the moral fibre of the country. More so in Margla’s video she also shows off her bra that shows her cleavage which is a common style of wearing bras in this country. This is offending to the public hence this should not circulate in public that’s why the bodaboda cyclists had waged war on such kind of indecent dressings by women. Secondly Master Blaster’s song “Emboko”. This song was once the talk of town which swept Uganda’s airwaves and I believe this guy was a teacher though he is some wasted chap in Bwaise. He helped spoil many generations with his vulgar song and neither was he spared. This was one song that was describing every sexual organ and sexual act. It was was Uganda’s provocative song. The song is performed as if the singer was a school teacher who pretend to teach a class the meanings of words and their pronunciation. Words like Ema ema …………… Omusi omusi ……………. Enfu enfu ………………… In 2007, this song quickly became a very popular hit playing in taxis at parties or even some people’s play lists and in the bars later on it was criticized by the society hence leading to its banishment from the airwaves of Uganda. First of all the words published in the teachers song are prohibited in Section 13 of the Anti Pornography Act which makes it illegal for a person to produce traffic or publish any form of pornographic words or ideas and on conviction is liable to a five of 10 or imprisonment not exceeding 10 years hence it should not circulate in the Ugandan public. Furthermore, the song itself is non educative if a song is not educative and neither inspirational I don’t know why it should circulate in public for example this teachers song he’s more like of an uncle in the Buganda Kingdom than a teacher hence this should not circulate in the Uganda’s public. More so the song promotes obscenity in the country for example for the young generation, they would lie to complete the words for the song and whatever they would fill in the blank space you don’t want to hear it if you are one of the kids parents filling in the full words for the teacher hence spoiling the young generation therefore it should not circulate in public. Finally both songs are really subtly destroying the moral fibre of the country and I think if they were left to circulate in public we would have experienced moral depravity and degeneration.
