The district criminal investigation officer Mathew Otuu has urged women to join politics and compete with men in a order to solve their problems constitutionally.

“You must compete with men so that your number increases in parliament in order for you to come out with a law which can favour women at grass root levels so that they can developed at a faster rate”, Otuu said.

A.S.P Otuu was on August 5 addressing women council in a consultation meeting organized by a Local NGO in APAC district called CADOVIC.

“If you were many in parliament you would have passed so many bills such as domestic relation bill which has been pending in Parliament since 2006”, he added.

He said many women tend to ignore their fellow women during campaign time yet they are the ones who can transform them when they are in higher authorities.

The board member of CADOVIC Mrs. Florence Omara warned women against early marriage.

“Don’t let people marry children. You in the council should bring women together and advocate against the dangers of early marriage within your communities” she directed.
