The call was made by bunya east mp waira Kyewalabye Majegere while expressing concern over the increase of the scourge of jiggers among the population in the areas of Busoga.

Majegere says that it not necessarily needs someone to be rich in order to be clean but the attitude of an individual.

He says that people should try to use traditional means of controlling dust in their houses and schools like the use of cow dung which is cheap rather than waiting for cement which cannot be managed by a poor person.

He says that families and schools should make it a routine and smear their houses once in a week as a way of creating a clean environment in their homes.

Col. Kiiza Besigye, the president general of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has tongue lashed the National Resistance Movement (NRM) describing it as a party for grabbers.

He says that the use of the word grab in relationship to NRM and its top dogs (managers) is no longer surprising to the people of Uganda.

Col. Besigye says that people in NRM grab land from peasants, grab money from the poor, grab donor funds, ‘grab votes.’ Speaking to FDC supporters in Busia, Besigye said that due to corruption in NRM, even women’s body parts may not be safe. This statement caused laughter in the audience.

“Ask the people of Teso or Kitgum where their cattle went and who took it. They will tell you it was grabbed,” he says.

Doctors say that some antiperspirants contain aluminum which may trigger lesions on human body skin. Some deodorants may also trigger asthma attacks or nasal allergies.

Antiperspirants are particularly not recommended because they work by preventing sweating and blocking the pores.

Sweating is one of the body mechanisms that help to control the body temperature. So a normal human being should sweat. Unfortunately on the Ugandan market, non antiperspirants are very few.

So if you are to use antiperspirant, you may apply it directly on the shirt, although this may leave some patches. However if you must use an antiperspirant, a spray would be better compared to a roll-on because with the latter, chances of clogging the pores are twice higher.

  We don’t know if all Ugandans are aware of a company called Monsanto which produces over 90% of the worlds Genetically Modified Seeds. The genetically modified seeds are sometimes called “Improved” Seeds.

The improved seeds or genetically modified seeds are being heavily promoted inUgandawith the support from the Bill Gates Foundations (who are the major shareholders in Monsanto).

 The Monsanto is reportedly buying upUgandaorAfrica’s traditional seeds and replacing them with the genetically modified seeds.

If you check in the villages you will find it harder and harder to get traditional African maize, beans and groundnut seeds etc. Monsanto’s seeds don’t produce.

 The critics of the genetically modified seeds argue that the new technology is against God’s Nature and that Monsanto activities must be stopped!

InUgandagroups of opinion leaders have come out to expose the companies working with Monsanto in the production of genetically modified seeds.

The ‘enemies’ of Monsanto allege that the use of genetically modified seeds can cause Cancer, allergies, Birth defects, and skin disorders.
