It is common knowledge that women and young girls in Uganda are most at risk of emotional abuse, and physical and sexual violence. Many studies carried out across the country, in different settings, have come to the same conclusion. However, it never occurs to us to think that the victim of such abuse can be a man. GILLIAN NANTUME brings us this story in which you will discover that one of the main reasons male victims of intimate partner abuse go unnoticed, is because of the myths and stereotypes surrounding the issue. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

The National Census exercise in Kampala started on a low note last evening, with limited implementation of what the Uganda Bureau of Statistics had communicated. There were no roadblocks on the major roads out of the capital Kampala and so were the enumerators seldom seen. Officials at the Uganda Bureau of Statistics indicated that there would be enumeration of the population they term as ‘floating,’ meaning those citizens in transit like passengers in buses and truck drivers; fishermen and street children. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

The National Census started in Kampala amidst mixed responses as some enumerators threatened to lay down their tools, as they demanded for facilitation for their work that had not been given to them. The enumeration exercise was delayed as the enumerators also blamed the lack of equipment, whereas the tablets that are being used to collect personal biodata were accused of not working. NTV visited different localities in Kampala to ascertain the progress of the National Census, as Juma Kirya reports. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

The Archbishop of Kampala, Paul Ssemogerere has appealed to the Central Government and the Uganda Communications Commission to invest more in researching on Artificial Intelligence before it is implemented in the country. The Archbishop indicated that he was relaying a statement from the Vatican, in which the Catholic Church was expressing its concerns over the use of modern technology, which can easily lend itself to fake news among other challenges. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

The Uganda Prisons Service has also joined the rest of the country in taking part in the ongoing national census. The exercise is being conducted by prison staff with support training from the Uganda Bureau of Statistics. According to Mr. Frank Baine, the Spokesperson of the Uganda Prisons Service, the enumeration of prisoners will take at least three days and later the enumerators will also count the Prison staff. Now various prisoners have welcomed the census exercise, maintaining that it is a sign of hope that they will also benefit in future government programs.#NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

In several areas of Wakiso district, the enumeration exercise did not start at 8am as the tablets to be used could not connect to the online portal of the Uganda Bureau of Statistics. The technical glitch hindered enumerators from accessing the household questionnaire and the household-mapping Global Positioning System or GPS. Many enumerators received their tablets late, while some of them did not get reflector jackets and identity cards, for easy field identification as NOBERT ATUKUNDA reports. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

The census exercise has not commenced in the areas of Katwe a kampala suburb following enumerators complaining that they can not log into the system. A group of enumerators we found at st. paul primary school seemed stranded with ipads saying they have not been updated into the system and therefore could not go out to enumerate people because they could not access the questionnaires. The residents we interacted with in Katwe kinyoro say they have seen some enumerators around who complained that the system was not working. They are however optimistic that given the many days for the exercise they will be counted.

The minster for Luwero-Rwenzori Triangle Alice Kaboyo has advised leaders from Busoga sub region to combine efforts in changing livelihoods of people. Kaboyo addressed this at the launching ceremony of the distribution of over fifty thousand hand hoes for Busoga sub region in Jinja City.

The census exercise in Kampala started on a low note last evening with little implementation of what the Uganda Bureau of Statistics had communicated.
