The outgoing Kasese District Vice Chairperson has appealed to the health workers, Community Development Officers and members of the Village Health Teams (VHTs) to raise public awareness about the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases among some people in the district.
Mr. Jerevesious Monday Bwambale says one of the contagious diseases that the people have become reluctant about and yet they are silently claiming lives.
Bwambale argues that most people are living with the disease and are silently transmitting it to the innocent young people, specially girls because it has not been spoken about accurately.
He appeals for a heightened campaign against the disease so that the public can be vast with knowledge about its spread and its consequences.
Bwambale cautions the general public against the practice of initiating marriages on young people, saying the act negatively affects their future.
He calls on the police to take keen interest in following such incidents so that the perpetrators are brought to book.
