Sex workers should go to Parish Development Model – Nabbanja!

The Prime Minister of Uganda and Leader of Government Business in Parliament has urged the sex workers to go into parish model if they are to get out of poverty.

Nabbanja made the remarks while responding to a concern raised by Sembabule Woman MP Mary Begumisa regarding a spate of murders targeting sex workers in Sembabule town where four sex workers have been hacked to death by unknown people between Months of Oct 2023 to February 2024.

Prime Minister, Robinah Nabbanja in her response said, “It is unfortunate that we have lost lives, however before coming here, I had already got information that there are murders in Sembabule, we had a meeting with David Muhoozi, Minister of State for Internal Affairs and we have instituted a team to go to Sembabule to find out what really happened and those senior officers will be there for some time so that those criminals are arrested.”

On the establishment of a fund to provide income to the other sex workers to start other economic activities, Nabbanja said, “For our senior citizens who work at night, I can only say they can go to Parish Development Model because that time of Entebbe (spate of murders), there was no PDM and UWEP, so we can only see how these women can access these funds.”
