What is worth noting is that according to our laws, practising witchcraft is supposed to earn stiff jail sentences. But the law is hardly applied.

It appears our law enforcers have been watching so many Nigerian movies that they think it is normal for people to practise witchcraft.

One has to go to extremes of feeding people on excreta or killing a child to be arrested for witchcraft-related offences.

So welcome to Kampala and exercise all the witchcraft you want, as long as you don’t kill children.
