Do you have a child who stammers? Seek help from a qualified speech and language therapist.

Counsel the family members, care takers and schools to accept the child and not to draw attention to his/her speech problem.

Offer the child a favourable environment to speak and always slow down when talking to the child. This makes the child to feel less rushed and finds it easier to follow what you are saying.

Don’t show the child that you are worried about his or her problem. Maintain eye contact on him/her. Keep listening, nod your head in approval and wait for him or her to finish a statement.

Never interrupt your stammering child in an attempt of trying to help him or her to finish a sentence. Use short and simple sentences whenever talking to a stammering child.

Delivering her judgment last week, High Court Judge Jane Kiggundu said prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that Nyangasi killed his wife Christine Dambio .

She disagreed with defence lawyers that the deceased died of pneumonia, arguing that one of Dambio’s relatives saw Nyangasi strangling her.

Prosecution says Nyangasi murdered Dambio at their matrimonial home in Kireka a Kampala suburb on 24^th July 2010 after a misunderstanding related to property and accusations of infidelity.

The victim was found unconscious in the bathroom and rushed to Mulago Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

While appearing before the oil Adhoc committee chaired by Michael Werikhe, Kutesa said he never received the alleged17 million Euros from oil companies.

Documents presented to Parliament by the youth member of parliament for western Region Gerald Karuhanga alleged that Kutesa and two other ministers received varying amounts of bribe money to help the oil company secure its interests in Uganda.

When MPS asked him why his name keeps coming up in bribery scandals Kutesa said that the bribe allegations against him are political and are advanced by his political enemies.

He said that Karuhanga’s oil bribe decrements tabled before parliament during oil debate on 11^th October are false.

Kutes said that these papers presented by karuhanga were given to him by the international companies which lost the oil business  because Karuhanga has no expertise  and  capacity to forge such  sophisticated  documents.

He advised mp Karuhanga to desist from being used in a matter which is damaging people s hard earned image.

Kutesa was furious over when Mps asked him how his son in law Albert Muganga came to be in the oil business in Jinja oil reserves and he warned them to avoid bringing in the relatives of politicians when politicians are implicated in any scandal because there is no law stopping their sons, daughters, wives and relatives to do any business in the country.
