Kasese district woman Member of Parliament, Hon. Florence Kabugho has described as senseless and total loss of morals for an old man of 35 years to impregnate a friend`s young daughter.
Hon. Florence`s comments follow an incident where the school going young girl reported to have delivered herself of a bouncing bay girl from the bush, was impregnated by a neighbor and a friend to the father currently on the run.
During a visit to the young mother at Kinyabwamba health center three in Kitswamba subcounty, Hon. Florence asked her to be strong and focused to completing her education before asking parents to live friendly to their children if they are to know their concerns.
Hon. Florence contends that other dubious acts and shocking decisions by some minors, including abortions and suicide are partly forced by un friendly and harsh parents that make statements which scare away children.
