Posted by: lukwago J in Uganda news August 14, 2020

The first lady Mama Janet Kataha Museveni yesterday shared a video on her Facebook page containing her message to all children in Uganda, young and old, who have been at home since March 2020 because of covid-19 pandemic.

I have got reports that some of you are being abused and or married off. This is absurd. This is a call to do something to save yourselves. If you have no one to run to, please find a phone and dial the Child Help line on 116 and someone will help you,’said Mama Janet.

‘First lady the only solution is to reopen schools and we learn to live with corona for it come to stay.Many girls have been impregnated please look in to that as the minister for Education,’ Sauya commented.

Mama Janet, I see sadness and heaviness of heart through your eyes in this message. I hope it will be translated to different local languages and disseminated to the uttermost parts of Uganda for the girl and boy child to hear. Thank you for caring enough to spare time to record a message for the youth. I receive the blessings you have declared upon us in Jesus Name,’ Linda commented.

‘Thanks for the work done as education ministry is concerned am streaming live and clear here in Ibanda District may God bless you,’ Gilbert commented.

I think churches should also contribute educate the yang generation. And I think the gorvemernt should open an agency’s where those problems could be resolved . Kids who are being abandoned by their own perents from 0 age to 12 should face the law . On child neglect and abused,’ Mbabazi commented.

‘We have not even started with the infections in Uganda and people don’t take coronavirus seriously anymore I believe it’s better to be safe than sorry and the new strain of coronavirus is infecting children too and they at risk,’ Markus commented.

‘Thanks so much for your good words of encouragement may God bless you abundantly,’ Alex commented.

‘First of all COVID has demographic severity and the kids are safer. Second the mandate to open schools lies in your office and you have support from the parents but you’ve refused to open schools. The cultural home education has been destroyed and you’ve been accomplice You have monopolized education and taken Responsibility away from the citizens, it’s sad that your Awakening is at the cost of our youth. It’s also your responsibility to open schools, you have the parents permission. Who are you waiting for?. If you the first lady can’t act sovereign and take charge, how do you expect the young people to emulate what they don’t know. What you’re pushing is freedom. But that’s the mentality you’ve been accomplice to eradicating. Good message, I hope it’s not too late. Change begins with you,’ Kenrald commented.

‘This is all because schools which keep them busy are closed! !!! A girl will travel from one boyfriend to a nother to look for some money in exchange of love hence pregnancy,’ Brian commented.

‘Wama don’t open schools please. Our little new borns will die, of Corona. Those Kids at school share a lot of things to eat, play area etc etc. This interaction is very sensitive as not only to the children in school but also the people at home. Please let schools be. We will find other ways Mpola Mpola as we learn to live with this drantok,’ Sasha commented.
