Ibanda University vice chancellor Prof. Emanuel Karoro has urged children to love God so as not to be corrupt in future.

While speaking as the guest of Honor at children’s camp function today that was held at Kashenyi church of Uganda aimed at teaching children how to preach, read the bible and order of the church service, Prof. Emanuel Karoro said corruption begins at a younger age but it is detected at older age.

He said that those who cheat exams in classes when studying are the ones that will embezzle government funds when entrusted with political and public offices.

On the same function Dorah Karoro a lecturer at KIU and a wife to professor Emanuel Karoro said boy children should also be trained in domestic work to reduce domestic violence in future parents.

She said if boys are not trained in both male and female skills, when they marry they will expect every domestic work to be done by their wives which erupts fights in families.

Karoro added that children below the age of 6 should not be sent to boarding schools because they need more parental care and it is at that age where a child can learn from their parents.

She asserted that a parent is the one who determines the future of the child saying that parents should live exemplary to their children.

According to venerable canon Steven Asingwire the archdeacon Ishaka urban archdeaconary church, the children camp was to train young children how to preach, read bible for a God fearing generation since 2019 was declared by church of Uganda as the year of children.

A section of very strong men from Rubanda district have taken advantage of the flooding at Hamurwa floating bridge which was washed away by heavy rains.

They are charging travelers between Shillings 1000 and 5000 to carry them on their backs across the flooded bridge.

At the start of this week, Authorities in Rubanda agreed to stop people from using Hamurwa-Kelele-Kanungu road after heavy rains washed away Hamurwa Bridge.

The DPC Rubanda SP Tai Ramadhan advised residents to instead use Nyamasizi-Kitagata-Kelele road for their own safety.

Motorists have complied with the directive; pedestrians have however continued using the same bridge arguing that Nyamasizi-Kitagata- Kelele road is very far.

However, many of them can’t cross on their own and so they pay between Shillings 2,000-7,000 to be carried on the back across the bridge. Motorcycles are aided to cross at between Shillings 4000-7000.

Martin Aineruhanga, a resident of Kashongati in Hamurwa Sub County, said they realized they can make some money out of the floods and therefore decided to charge little which has helped them in their well being.

Boaz Kato, Jonan Byonanebye and Peter Kyomukama both the residents expressed their disappointment about the silence of the leaders led by the Rubanda East MP, Henry Musasizi whom they said that he uses the same route while going but has never taken any step to see the road worked on.

However residents especially pedestrians have continued to use the road despite the presence of police officers who had ordered them to stop using the same road. 

Early in October two people died on sport at Hamurwa Bridge after flooding and an Isuzu track registration number UBE 344D got off the road into the ditch.

Augustine the UNRA Kabale branch manager declined to comment on the matter and he instead issued a statement promising the road users that the bridge will be worked on at a later time.

Over 80 charcoal traders in Ibanda Municipality who are operating their
businesses along Mpiira Street at Soweto Zone common known as Ekyorora Nfuuzi are accusing the leaders for failing to cater them with possible convenient places for short and long calls.

 Mr. Godwin Musinguzi, the chairperson for Ibanda Municipal Charcoal traders said that many customers, the business community and their children find themselves lining along the toilets.

He noted that human wastes are found heaped all over places including flies making the whole place smelling.
Alone Tumwine a charcoal trader said many people are forced to jump as they fear of getting contaminated with feces near the toilet since they have no option.

Meanwhile efforts by our reporter to get a comment from Town clerk
Bufunda Division Kebiita Lillian were futile since her known
mobile phones were all off.

There is likely to face a challenge of cholera outbreak in the area because of open defecation and this comes after Bufunda Division leaders neglected the flash of toilets.
