Ronald Kato, the Executive Director for Kasese Youth Link for Development has advised spouses to always cooperate while executing their parenting roles as one way of curbing down cases of early marriages among the children.
Mr. Kato sounded the advice yesterday while speaking to our reporter in an exclusive interview at his office at the district headquarters.
He stressed that Kasese district was recently placed in the third position in terms of registering cases of early marriages.
Kato blamed the vice on poverty, child neglect and lack of cooperation among parents in families.
The Executive Director observed the need for the parents to work with determination in an attempt to have poverty free families that are able to provide the basic needs to their children.
Robison Thembo, the Kasese District Probation Officer, blamed the parents for allegedly neglecting their children. He specifically blamed the men who for abandoning their parenting roles to the women.
He attributed the increased number of street kids in Kasese town to child neglect.
The Probation Officer called upon the children to always listen to the parental advice, arguing that they can also face the law in case they commit crimes.
