‘‘Iam appealing to fathers who are not vigilant in educating their children to start doing so because when these children become respected people in future the men are instead praised in offering the biggest part in educating them yet their wives took all the responsibility of doing so.

The Mayor of Nakawa Division Ronald Nsubuga Balimwezo has said that the smallest percentage of fathers have the vigilance of educating their children.
Balimwezo said the biggest percentage of men think about sports betting , taking alcohol and watching European league games where they spend a lot of money.

"I was a fisherman at only eight years but my mother saw that this was not the right thing for me to do at that time and she struggled to get money to educate me , right now I am among the most recognised mayors internationally and thank God all praises go to my mother," says Balimwezo.
He said this while officiating at the dedication and confirmation service at Motherwell Junior School in Mutungo last week.
The Principal of the School , Billy Semusu appealed to former Primary Seven candidates who completed their exams last week to help their parents in doing house work and also learn vocational skills that will help them to be engaged through the vacation instead of watching television all the time.

Semusu added that these vocational skills can help them to start their own jobs in future which will help curb the problem of unemployment in Uganda today especially among the youth.
Rev Fr Zidolo Mbareeba from Biina parish confirmed 32 children and prayed for the 26 candidates who sat for their exams last week with a request of asking them to go out in the world and serve the Lord
