Millions of children inUgandareceive no or poor meals at school breakfasts and lunch. The Uganda National School Lunch Programs requires parents, guardians and ‘schools’ to provide nutritional lunch/breakfast and (supper for children in boarding schools).

But what happens on the ground inUgandais that thousands of children inUgandadon’t receive lunch and breakfast at schools. The good news however is that theUSgovernment, according to statehouse sources, has requestedUgandagovernment to look into the issue of lunch provisions at schools as one of the most important issues to be addressed.

Hunger is one of the most severe roadblocks to the learning process in Ugandaand in many other African countries. Lack of nutrition during the school days set up a cycle for poor performance in Ugandaand other African schools. Scientists indicate that school hunger makes children more prone to illness and other health issues. President Museveni has also bee fighting over the years to close or fill that nutrition gap and make sure children to get the nutritious meals they need.

The essential breakfast for most well to do Ugandans is a hot cup of milk tea and buttered slices of bread.

Many families take pieces of bread in the morning enough to keep one through till lunch time.

But while one takes the whole grain of bread, s/he should as well remember that it is highly not recommended to eat too much bread because it lacks the required nutrients.

Doctors say that white breads are the ones that lack nutrients while brown breads are rich in fiber and a number of needed nutrients.

But this time the police are not in the compound of Mr. Besigye or toilets as it was the case last time. We have been told by the detectives that the police officers have been told to besiege Besigye’s farm in Kasangati such that he doesn’t move on foot.

When our informer visited Besigye’s home this afternoon, he saw a police vehicle registration number UP 2958 parked opposite Besigye’s home. Most of the policemen deployed around Besigye’s home dressed in civilian clothes.

The police had recently withdrawn its officers from the home of Besigye although their commander, Sam Omara told journalists during their departure that the police had left Besigye’s home just to get lunch and come back.
