Diapers are Cause of Infertility in Men, Hon Obigah Rose Tells Parliament as MPs Regret Their Decision to Tax It.

MPs have this Thursday morning 28-3-2024 expressed regrets over their decision to impose a tax on diapers, which they initially claimed were being used to promote homosexuality in Uganda, and are now admitting that the tax has instead made diapers expensive for the elderly & people with disabilities who rely on diapers in order to protect their dignity in society.

Hon Rose Obigah (Terego DWR) asked MPs not to go back and forth with diapers tax, arguing that the tax was imposed because diapers are a luxury & there was need to reduce their excessive use because diapers had started to impact on fertility of men in Uganda.

"People from Karamoja and my village (Terego district), they perform well, their fertility lasts longer but you see these men brought up in good homes, they have challenges of sperm count. It was on that ground that we wanted to reduce this excessive use of pampers. Pampers are a luxury, we would prefer to use nappies," said Obigah.
