A report by the Police shows that boda boda riders and teachers top the list of defilement suspects in the last five months in Bugisu.


Addressing the media on Monday, Rogers Taitika the Elgon Region Police Spokesman said that they registered over 100 defilement cases in the last five months. According to Taitika, some cases are settled in the community without Police being notified.

He says that some suspects have been arraigned in court and convicted while others are on remand in different prison facilities in Bugisu.

Denis Ephraim Balwaniregha the Sironko Resident District Commissioner says that most boda boda riders lure young girls into defilement by offering free lifts. He also says that some teachers promise free marks to pupils in exchange for sex. Balwaniregha has called for responsible parenting.
