KAMWENGE woman MP Aidah Mehangye has called for the increased promotion of condom use among youths in the Rwenzori region.

Mehangye was speaking at the launch of the global fund project for Rwenzori region on Saturday.
Dr. Kamanda Bataringaya, the mineral state minister, launched the project at Parents’ Concern offices in Fort Portal town.
