Environment activist Morris Nyombi is wary of his falling what may after his alleged gay life was exposed by a section of local media.
Nyombi is said to have lately been concentrating more in making Hamzah Karungi happy than in his passion for the environment but with the expose has come the fear that he could fall in trouble with the strict anti-homosexuality law in the country.
Uganda in 2023 enacted one of the harshest anti gay laws in the world with clauses that punish certain acts of same sex relationship with death.
But sources close to Nyombi say what has him running into the mattress is more to do with the recent Anti-Corruption protests led by Ugandan youth.
In the protests, violently crushed by the state machinery, Nyombi's alleged lover xxx was arrested and detained.
And it has since led to speculation that Nyombi had a hand in the organization of the protests that the government ruled was instigated by foreign elements.
Several efforts by this publication to speak to Nyombi were futile but the environment activist is said to have intimated to friends that he was wary that his association to Karungi could be read over the top.
It has since been speculated that climate advocacy was only used a ploy to promote foreign ideologies challenging Uganda’s cultural values.
Once proved guilty, Nyombi who is currently on the run and has been cited to be at the Busia Ugandan border with Kenya is likely to spend two decades in prison.
