The Rubanda District Woman Member of Parliament, Akampurira Mbabazi Prossy, has shown concern over the high rate of family violence and break-up cases in the district.
Akampurira Mbabazi Prossy, the Commissioner of Parliament, made the announcement at the conclusion of a 5-day charismatic conference held at Kakore Catholic Parish in Hamurwa Town Council in Rubanda District.
The Commissioner of Parliament showed concern over how some men are buying pieces of land without engaging their wives in the land agreements. Akampurira said that some men in the district fear working together with their wives, a thing that has affected developments in some of the families.
She cited an example of a man who bought land without consulting his wife or other family members and then died, leaving the land to the mafia.
She called for cooperation and unity among married couples for the stability of families.
She further showed concern about the high rate of family breakups in the district, saying that some of the parents do fight in broad daylight in the presence of their children.
The commissioner also revealed plans to meet with women in every village about increasing household income.
She further urged the public to participate in government programs aimed at alleviating poverty, such as the parish development model.
She has supported the construction at the parish with 100 bags of cement and 200 kilograms of rice for the youth conference scheduled to take place on July 26-29 this month in the district.
Rev. Fr. Innocent Young Buregeya, who was presiding over the charismatic conference at Kakore parish, applauded the Commissioner of Parliament for her tremendous support rendered not only in the district but also at the diocese.
