TODAY'S TOPIC
Plight of orphan girl
A 14-year old girl in Bushenyi who stoned to death a 40-year-old man she accused of trying rape her is stranded in Police custody. No one has offered to stand surety for her. The girl is an orphan who lives alone with her 9-year-old brother. Is Uganda doing enough to protect orphans? What should be done? Have your say.
