THE DOCUMENTARY I MADE IN KAMPALA
The state of karamojong beggars in kampala
Many government authorities say some political leaders and social organizations are persuading the poor to move to Kampala. They allegedly lure them with promises of food and money but are used by NGOs to convince foreign donors to give more money to them.
In a bid to reduce the increasing number of street beggars Thousands have been transported by the government with support from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and other aid agencies to their region but after a short time they return to the streets and it’s a continuous chain.
According to United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and Kampala City Council (KCC) about 80 per cent of Kampala's street beggars come from Karamoja.
In many instances, women, particularly mothers have been found to be the key decision makers regarding out-migration. Women often made the decision to leave Karamoja with or without children, often because they were neglected or abused by a male relative or husband.
To women, some of the immediate factors that compel them to move are: loss of livestock, poor harvests, abandonment or death of breadwinners or key family members, and the weakening or collapse of social safety nets.
Those who are abandoned believe that they have no other recourse than to beg in Kampala. Many women become angry when their husband takes a new wife and take themselves and their children away. Others leave the region to escape arranged marriages.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is on the increase in Karamoja according to a report by UNFPA, which states that thousands of girls aged 10-15 are being circumcised and forcefully married off. About 100% of the Pokot girls have undergone FGM exposing them to risks of HIV/AIDS, excessive bleeding and death.

The creator
The African perspective of the creator
In my own observation and extensive research finds that most African languages don’t have the word God.
They instead term him as the creator.
Take for example in my language lasuban meant is creator.
The Basoga call him ibumba waife.
The baganda call him katonda.
Where then does the word God come from????

Why should a day of peace be only one?

Evil vs Good
Why does evil win in most part of a human being? You may be a trust worthy person and when you are in the tight position and when you lie for once to save your self you loose the trust you have accumulated for thousands of years.
Evil why do you grow in mans heart? Yet there are other big organs in the human body.
Why are your yields increasing than Good every day ?
Why does the heart carry you easily and leave good?
Are you lighter than good?
Why do you come easily than Good?
Why do you hate peace?
Why are you a friend of most leaders?
Why do you create war?
Why are you happy when people die as a result of you?

Which God is right, which God answers fast?
I know its you my creator not any other. Whenever am going to work sad faces are the ones that greet me. Faces of people in desperation and I wonder why this is around me creator.
I look on as children are begging for survival with their mothers monitoring the activity.
Disabled people that have been condemned by the state of their limbs to being Beggars on the streets.
My creator you have the powers of erasing all these suffering in my community please my creator remove all the sorrow around me.
LASUBAN you’re the one that can erase all these misery from earth.
I have fulfilled my responsibility on earth by praying and meditating about this so that One bright morning when my work is over on earth and I fly home to Zion I will be your happy servant I pray LASUBAN .
