    64 children die in 68 days at Mbale hospital - 20 children died in April, another 28 in May and so far 16 in June. Hospital attributes it to acute shortage of blood, but patients say it's the absenteeism of medical workers

    Since today’s perpetrators of violence also have children and grandchildren, documenting their crimes will deny their children chance to benefit from criminally acquired wealth and power. Their children and grandchildren will pay for their crimes under a different govt

    The problem is that social media has turned into the only platform kids get advice from. Children no longer meet their friends and elders for conversations on hardships. Social media makes one falsely believe that other people are well off and this affects the weak hearted.
