By Kyamanduma Patrick,
It sounds strange but a true scenario that a twelve year old minor attempted to commit suicide but later rescued in Kizungu cell in Kasese Municipality.
No official comment yet from Police but Mr. Zephaneous Wakibanahi, the local council one chairperson for Kizungu cell in Kasese Municipality confirmed the information last evening and said the minor who has reportedly had repeated disagreements with his 15 year old sister, got a rope, hanged himself over a food conflict before the intervention of the neighbors.
Mr. Wakibanahi who called for focus among the children, said he had guided the two minors before but in vain thus, calling for more interventions by counselors. Mr. Wakibanahi speaking1……..
He later asked parents and guardians to have their children in school and have them busy each time or else, the devil would take advantage of their idleness. Mr. Wakibanahi speaking2…….
Kasese district is one of the areas in Uganda with a spate of suicide cases in Uganda partly over poverty and domestic violence among others. END
