By Editor

During a meeting orgainsed by Save the Children in partnership with UNFPA which was held on Wednesday 7-Dec-2022 at Crane Resort Hotel Arua, leaders compromising of RDCs, LC5s, DHOs, CAOs and Clergies from the two main religions (Christianity and Islam) have thrown their weights behind Save the Children, a none governmental organisation established in UK in 1919 with objectives in improving the health and livelihood of Children around the World.

The seven hours meeting was subjected to brainstorming session amongst the four groups of the attendants (RDCs, Clergies, DHOs and CAOs) with each group splitted into where they belong and they each generated lists containing the causes and the solutions to end Teenage pregnancies and Child marriages in WestNile region.

Coincidentally, four of these groups generated almost similar causes and solutions to end the vice of Teenage pregnancy which is so alarming in the region, with over 50 to 100 Young girls getting pregnant on daily basis.

LC5 Chairman said, for a population to be productive, it must be checked by two factors; positive and negative factors, adding that, we can't reap from increasing population of young people if they are unproductive and sitting by the road side everyday.

The scientists have now come up with "social behavior change communication strategy" to help curtail the vice, he said.

Hon Okuonzi reaffirmed the need for urgently sensitize and improve sexual reproductive health amongst adolescent age, something which, he said is under threat.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
