President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda is scheduled to meet with members of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) on Thursday to discuss the contentious anti-homosexuality bill passed by parliament last month.
According to a statement issued by the NRM parliamentary caucus chairperson, Denis Obua, the meeting will take place at State House in Entebbe.
According to the state-run New Vision website, all MPs are required to take a Covid-19 test before the meeting.
According to local media, Mr. Museveni is expected to sign the bill, which would sentence anyone who engages in homosexual acts to 20 years in prison and the death penalty for those convicted of aggravated homosexuality.
The proposed legislation has sparked international outrage, with the US threatening sanctions against Uganda if it becomes law.
