A thirty five year old man has been arrested over reported defilement of a fourteen year old girl in Bwathu Village, Isule Parish, Maliba subcounty in Kasese district.
No official comment yet from Police but the Kasese district Senior Probation and Social Welfare officer, Ms Zainabu Asiimwe confirmed incident but declined to identify the suspect over investigation reasons.

Ms Zainabu who described the fight against defilement as a typical war, calls for the full intervention of the Kasese Resident District Commissioner and local council five chairman over what she calls repeated abuses of young girls particularly in Isule Parish in Maliba subcounty, shielded by local leaders and some selfish police officers.
