Kaberamaido district chairman, Robert Engulu has challenged organizations dealing in human rights activities to rehabilitate Karimojong children loitering in Kampala streets.
Engulu says Karimojong children are being abandoned in Kampala with no government attending to them.
He called on government to address the fate of the disadvantaged group of people living in the country while looking at human rights perspective.
He was speaking at Soroti Regional Human Rights Offices yesterday during the 9th annual human rights report review for 2006 /2007.
Engulu noted that these children are not attaining any formal education at all and they also needed some medical care.
He further revealed that most of these Karimojong children living in Kampala were also loosing sight because of complicated diseases they encounter.
The human rights 9th annual report review for 2006 / 2007 held at Soroti office attracted leaders of different categories including police commanders of Teso region, politicians and representatives of various NGOs in the region.
End.
