Kamartum has 3 wives who stay together in his grass thatched house. He also herds more than 100 goats and sheep in the same dusty homestead.
During the World Contraceptive Day that took place on Sunday 27th September 2020, the Baringo man told media that he will continue fathering more children to increase his chances of becoming a rich man in future.
33-year-old Baringo man with 19 children considers them part of his wealth

“If you have more children you become richer. If for instance, you have 10 girls then you will get at least 10 to 15 cows per girl. There are also four camels per girl, totaling to 40, that is wealth,” he said.
He however said his customs and tradition do not permit men to count children. They are someone’s riches which must be continually increased and enlarged occasionally.
The seed-sower shockingly said his wives conceive again immediately after they heal from deliveries.
The father of 19 said God has provided for them ever since and he has never lacked or worried about food, education and health for his kids since God is in control.

“I want to sire as many children as I can. For those who would want to go to school, we will pray for God’s grace,” he said.
The amazing young man has trained most of his children how to look after the goats and sheep. His 3 wives said they were not aware of any family planning measures that would help control the number of kids they give birth to.
“We do not know about family planning. We have never heard about it,” said Kamartum’s first wife.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
