He argued that by having Vasectomy men will not be impregnating women every where.
Vasectomy is a surgical procedure for male sterilization or permanent contraception. During the procedure, the male vasa deferentia are cut and tied or sealed so as to prevent sperm from entering into the urethra and thereby prevent fertilization of a female through sexual intercourse.
“As a physician my best advice to men is to embrace Vasectomy. Its the only way to control high population rate and remedy for unwanted pregnancies especially for men who sleep around with women,” Dr Micheal Bayiga Lulume said.
Buikwe District legislator made the revelation at the consultative meeting of civil society actors, government officials and legislators in Kampala to gauge family planning 2030 commitments.
Dr Micheal Bayiga Lulume threatened to move a motion in parliament so that a law is gazetted to limit men to only three year in Uganda saying this will reduce domestic violence among married couples, promote peaceful families and reduction in high population rate.
Dr Moses Muwonge Director Samasha Medical Foundation in his presentation titled Uganda’s family planning progress and 2030 commitment noted that Uganda has faulted on the family planning commitments by failing to invest more into procurement of contraceptives needed by women and girls to control in wanted pregnancies.
“Uganda is far from achieving family planning commitments due to low investment into family planning services. Uganda needs to invest up to 150 million dollars but currently Uganda and development partners only have a budget of 50 million dollars per year for family planning commodities,”he said.
Muwonge said government of Uganda committed to increase modern contraceptives for women and couples from 30.4% in 2020 to 39.6% by 2025 and reduce unmet need from 17% in 2020 to 15% by 2025.
He reasoned that investment of this magnitude would help women to space children and have manageable families.
Uganda’s population growth rate is currently 3.32%. The growth rate has remained around 3% for the past several decades in Uganda. This is influenced heavily by the country’s fertility rate of 4.78 births per woman. At this growth, over 1 million people are added to the population each year.
Dr Betty Kyadondo Director Family Health at National Population Council proposed that government mobilises domestic and external resources to support implementation of the national family planning services to the tune of US295 million dollars for the next five years.

![[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.
