Uganda ethics minister orders arrest of Stella Nyanzi for stripping and sharing porn material
Dr Stella Nyanzi chained outside her office at Makerere UniversityUganda's Ethics and integrity state minister Simon Lokodo has ordered police to arrest a Makerere University professor for stripping in public.
Dr. Stella Nyanzi who works at Makerere Institute of Social Research stripped and shared nude pictures on social media protesting the closure of her office.
"I have thrown my clothes outside Prof. Mamdani's office. I am naked as I cry out for my office," she posted on her Facebook wall.
Lokodo however, maintained that the professor went overboard.
"Even if she was offended by anybody, she behaved indecently. I condemn it in the strongest words possible and I have directed police to arrest her. She must be brought to book," the minister told New Vision on Monday.
According to Lokodo, Dr. Nyanzi will be charged under tough Uganda Anti-Pornography Act.
She risks a two-year jail term if found guilty.
But in a quick rejoinder, Nyanzi told the ethics minister to "go and arrest his relatives the Karimojongs who walk naked before coming to me."
Her reaction came after regaining control of her office.
Makerere Institute of Social Research (MISR) director Mamhood Mamdani issued a statement on Saturday explaining the background to the management decision for her to vacate her office at MISR and take a seat at the MISR library because she had refused to teach in the MPhil/PhD programme.
In the statement, he indicated that Dr. Nyanzi in her application for the post of Research Fellow at MISR, assured senior staff that she intended to teach in the PhD programme in line with resolutions passed by the university Senate in November 2011 and accredited by the National Council for Higher Education in July 2012.
Dr. Nyanzi was confirmed in university service by the Appointments Board at its meeting on 28th October, 2013.
In June 2014 Nyanzi submitted two course 'Theoretical Perspectives on Gender' and 'Cultures of Protest and Dissent in Revolutionary Social Movements' that she intended to teach.
In a letter dated August 5, 2014, Dr. Nyanzi however changed her mind: "My contract with Makerere University does NOT include any teaching duties. In our verbal discussions, I have constantly refused to teach on the MISR PhD which was started after I was appointed into my current position. I have never indicated that I will teach on the PhD next year. The advertisement for my position did not include any teaching job responsibilities because MISR was not a teaching
