Seems it's 'a common' practice in some parts of this country
<<<RINK>>>C&P
Robert (not real name), a 32-year-old Ugandan truck driver, had gone to collect fuel from the Kenyan pipeline in Nakuru, when his tanker was stopped by a gang of youth at a roadblock in Kaitui near Kericho.
"The security had cleared our convoy of three trucks at the Busia border crossing in the morning of January 31," the visibly-traumatised man from Wakiso district said in Kampala on Wednesday. "But at around 11:30am, when we reached Kaitui, a mob of rioters blocked the road.
They ordered us out, beat us and threatened to hack us, while others torched the trucks with petrol bombs."
Robert and his turn boy were taken to the side of the road where they were ordered to strip naked.
"They touched our private parts and were making fun of us. Then, two young men raped us."
Robert, who occasionally broke down in tears when narrating his story, said the rioters accused Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni of having helped his Kenyan counterpart Mwai Kibaki rig the elections.
They also claimed that Uganda had sent soldiers to quell the riots and shoot at protestors.
Denis, another driver who works in Northern Uganda, had gone to collect a new car from Mombasa to earn some extra money.
He and his assistant were stopped at a road block at Kireta, near Eldoret, and forced to drive to a homestead off the highway.
"They threatened to kill us claiming our president had sent troops to Kenya to kill them. They beat us and didn"t care that we were bleeding, he said.
Denis was separated from his assistant and told to remove his clothes.
"They seemed to enjoy me undressing as they laughed as I stripped," he testified.
"One man asked me to bend over, warning me not to make any noise or risk death. He told me: "I want to have fun with you from your anus. I know it might be painful but you have no option." The man then took me to a room and sodomised me throughout the night as his colleagues kept vigil."
Denis does not want to go to hospital for treatment or tell his wife, for fear of stigma or spoiling his marriage.
In Ugandan culture, anal sex among men is considered abominable, whether it is forceful or by consent.
The stories of Robert and Denis are not isolated cases. Several Ugandan drivers are believed to have been sodomised and beaten in Kenya"s post-election violence.
