As in 1999 when Museveni himself ordered that gays be arrested and jailed in what was clearly an ill-thought-out throwaway , MU7 thought that the Bahati bill would be a side issue in these times when Obama is engrossed with the Taliban, Gordon Brown is a lame duck and there is no one else taking Africa that seriously apart from the barracuda-like Chinese. 
Kama ilivyokuwa mwaka 1999 ambapo Museveni mwenyewe aliamuru kuwa mashoga wote wakamatwe na kufungwa jela katika kile ambacho ni wazi kilikuwa ni jambo lililowazwa hovyo , MU7 alifikiri kuwa muswada wa Bahati ungekuwa ni suala la pembeni katika nyakati hizi ambamo Obama amezama kwa Taliban, Gordon Brown ni bata mjinga na hakuna mwingine yeyote anayeitilia maananni Afrika zaidi Mchina anayefanana na samaki mla nyama.
