Happy to have been nominated to serve on the Executive Board of the Affrican Parliamentary Network on Internet Governance (APNIG) @AnitahAmong
I hope someone follows this girl's issue and ensures she is not married off during this coming holidays. Girls aren't commodities to be traded.Meanwhile let me share this with the Woman MP Adjumani. Hope the New Framework for Education on Health &Lifeskills can be rolled out fast
While at Alere S. S., I was told by a teacher that a week ago, a girl’s father came to school to pick his daughter so as to deliver her to the man whose bride price he had already ‘eaten’! The school found ways of not handing him the young girl, but it’s not sure what will happen next.
Dear fellow fathers, we must rethink ‘bride price’ practices. We can’t continue selling (transacting) our daughters while pretending to be receiving ‘tokens of appreciation’. Some are sold to men they hardly love; some are tied into abusive relationships because parents ‘ate the man’s things’; some are forced to abandon men of their choices because they can’t pay the exorbitant charges set by their greedy parents… It is a conversation we must have. Cultural institutions, please guide for a better society for all. The values around ‘dowery’ can be encouraged without commodifying girls.
The digital era, creates challenges for parents today. A Home-grown National Framework for Education on Health & Life skills was launched by the First Lady Mama Janet Museveni. A framework that will provide age appropriate information that will empower children. Congratulations
I appreciate the parents for this gesture. HOWEVER, Ministry of Education issued clear instructions to all schools to allow students who paid UNEB Fee to sit foŕ exams. I hope serious action will be taken against those that defy this order. Are their no bursaries in SEETA??
🚨SEETA HIGH PARENTS RAISED SHS 3 MILLION SO ONE STUDENT DOESN'T MISS OUT ON UACE EXAMS.
Parents of Seeta High School in Mukono raised 3 million shillings to help a student sit her UACE exams after her mother's business got hit by evictions tied to a trade-order crackdown earlier this year.
The handover happened Saturday during a blessing Mass, led by the S.6 parents' committee chairperson Ruth Nabayego Norah Tukahirwa, with headteacher Boniface Ssebukalu receiving the funds. They also gave a hundred thousand each to five top mock performers and half a million to four class teachers.
Exams kick off November 9th for 344 candidates. The student's name was withheld, which makes sense given the family's situation.
The Charcoal ban sent shockwaves to all those who burn, sell and use charcoal. In my Amagoro village, we quickly adjusted saving charcoal & gas for the rainy days! Hope using firewood will not be banned too! Government should promote the biogas since most hones have put latrines.
Corruption must be fought we all agree but with caution! I condemn this kind of act considering that a mother was in theatre & pleas by medical personnel to allow them first handle the emergency fell on deaf ears. The officer cd have done it differently. Hope a life was saved
I agree. The so called career women have forgotten why God created men and women preferring career to family and parenting roles. This is worsened by the idealistic and transactional marriages rampant amongst young couples. We need to balance career with God's purpose for man.
Today Hon. Dr. @miriamatembe had beautiful message for us.
Mr. @kyamageroandrew and Mr. @GODFREY_Kutesa allow me to share this with you
Reading about the demands by some Babiito that the new King Edward who wedded should marry a Toro wife so she gives birth to a future King has left me thinking!! So why should Kings opt for white weddings yet they are expected to promote their African traditions & cultures??
The FIFA26 Pre-event attended by selected MPs & partners happening in Mauritius today focused on thr AU Convention on Personal Data Protection, Cyber Security & Cyber Crime & Electronic Transactions adopted by the AU in 2014. Shockingly only 20 countries have ratified it!
Parents should get serious! When you are out with a child or children pay attention to them. Addiction to the phones can have devastating losses and effects. Please watch this video!

Always a pleasure checking on my relatives in Nyabanja in Soni the furthest village, ifrom Tororo town . I drove without alerting them to avoid them running around to slaughter a cock for me. They still tried but I stopped them. I shouldn't be the reason why a cock should die!
A day spent with celebration of Fr. Odongo newly ordained at Soni Kainja Subcounty, birth place of Archbishop Dr Obbo. I used to occasion to rally parents to value education & attend mass with their children at an early age. FOR thefear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
