The head of Community Policing department Anatoli Muleterwa, has urged young people especially students who are home due to the lockdown not to lose hope but instead stay focused and avoid all sorts of things that can ruin their education career.
Muleterwa was meeting with selected student leaders at Katwe Primary school in a holiday outreach programme organised by a local NGO Integrated Youth Development Organisation (YIDO) which focuses on fighting crime in schools.
He noted that this is a time for self reflection and avoiding bad peer groups, which could entice them into using drugs, alcoholism, among other bad acts urging them to concentrate and use the time at home to read their books.
To the young girls, he advised them to avoid engaging in sexual activities which could lead to early pregnancies and contraction of sexually transmitted diseases, be assertive and avoid temptations.
Muleterwa urged the youth to always report to police and seek guidance where they find challenges.
