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.

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.
