There is need for the leaders to ban all forms of gambling

The Agago LC5 chairperson Leonard Opio Ojok has called on councillors to join hands to ensure that gambling is prohibited in the district.

Ojok said he has received several complaints especially from parents that their school going children are gambling off their school fees.

He adds that the continuous presence of unregulated gambling facilities in the district was also creating laziness and lawlessness among the young population in the district.

The councillor Patongo Sub-county, Coo-lenge Okwera Aldo said one of the students from Patongo home base recently gambled off his schools fees.

He noted that there is need for the leaders to ban all forms of gambling in the district.
