Man makes daughter pregnant

TWO teenage girls aged 12 and 15 have been rescued from their father who repeatedly defiled them.

The elder girl became pregnant as a result.

The girls have been living with their father identified as Mutumba Mugagga in Busaale village Nakisunga sub-county in Mukono district.

They were rescued last week by a local Non-Governmental Organisation, the African Network for the Prevention and Protection Against Child Abuse and Neglect (ANPPCAN) after a tip-off.

Information officer Haruna Mawa said Mugagga was being held at Nazigo Police Post in Mukono district.

“One of the children testified to the Police that she was defiled four times by her father,” Mawa said.

Addressing a press conference at ANPPCAN offices in Kampala yesterday, Mawa said when Mugagga learnt that one of his daughters had become pregnant, he forced her to abort.

Mawa explained that Mugagga connived with a local council official to hush up the matter.

The LC official, Mawa added, had also been arrested to assist the Police with investigations.

“We condemn these ill-practices and call upon the Government to expedite the process of prosecuting defilers, including parents who have down-graded their role by defiling their own children,” Mawa stated.

He said defilement was common in Mukono.

Mawa decried the slow pace in which the justice system handles the cases.

“Last year, 4,124 cases of defilement were taken to the courts, but only 333 convictions were made. This represents only 3.8% of the cases,” Mawa said.

He proposed that that the Police be equipped with more skills and resources to enable them execute their duties.

He pointed out that there were less than 20 Police surgeons in the country to examine defilement victims.

“This has made the examination of defilement victims difficult. This state of affairs has made the reporting of cases complex,” Mawa noted.

Sad sad so sad that there is so much attitude of self helplessness! We owe our half of the population the tools of justice and even more so when they are just children!!

Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion

Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Same quote in English (New International Version) highlights mine.

I wish all men would heed bibilical teachings then we would have our own heaven right here on earth.

Thank you Murutwo for your post.
