THE Kampala Woman MP

THE Kampala Woman MP Naggayi Nabilah Sempala has appealed to the Government to establish a budget and contribute to childrens’ homes in the country.

She said the abandoned children do not belong to childrens’ homes that offer them social support but to the Government.

“I appeal to the Government and the line ministries to work with the prime minister and create a yearly budget and contribute funds to the childrens’ homes,” Nabilah said.

Nabilah, who is seeking re-election for the same seat, was recently handing over a donation to the children at Sanyu Babies’ Homes in Namirembe, Kampala. The items totalled to sh2m and included pampers, toilet papers, basins, clothes and food stuffs. She raised them from her family and friends.

Nabilah, also said the community and parents have to help young girls that conceive accidentally. She said as Parliament, it is difficult to enact a law that stops people from having sex.

What law can the Government enact, who is a sex worker and what law can be made against this?” Nabilah asked.

She said the trade is unacceptable socially and incompatible with the African and other values.

Nabilah said although some Kampala sex workers want to be recognized and their trade legalised, it remains tricky for the Government to so.

“Some men have multiple partners, is that sex trade, sex work?” She asked.

She appealed to cultural and religious leaders to preach and influence people’s behavior for the better.

Barbara Mutagubya, the administrator of Sanyu Babies’ Home, said they are faced with funding problems since they have no single institution that funds their activities.

“We depend on individual donations to run this place and the demands keep on increasing, but we have started poultry and craft shop to support the home,” she said.

The facility was established over 15 years ago by the Anglican Church and has a capacity of 50 children, some of whom are living with HIV/AIDS.
