Ms Suzan Kushaba, a 33 year mother of three and chairperson of St. Balikuddembe (Owino) Market Vendors’ Association has been terribly clobbered by a team of ruthless Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) revenue collectors in Owino Market and she is currently bedridden at Case Clinic/Hospital in Kampala. She admitted on 6^th floor bed No. 7.

The reason she has been tortured and stripped naked is because she led a big team of women who petitioned Parliament, challenging the brutality meted out to vendors, especially women who toil to fend for their families.

Uganda is one of the African countries where women’s rights are abused by some leaders in power.

Our health news team today is informing you how garlic can better be used to get most out of it. Several herbal clinics, hospitals and small health centres recommend people to add garlic on their daily menu.

To get most out of garlic, it is recommendable that people consumes or eats in its raw form.

Medical experts say that garlic should be finely chopped or crushed before it is eaten. Get chopped or crushed garlic and add it to food shortly before serving starts.

The cooking and microwaving garlic degrades its alcidine and reduces its potential benefits. Alternatively, you can also take dried or powdered garlic tablets to boost your body immunity to diseases.
