It is shocking to learn that UNEB can allow the transportation of national Exams by boda boda. At least one accident was reported involving deliveries of exam papers on the 1st day. Assuming the exam papers had got damaged? UNEB must be extra careful in ensuring that transportation of papers is by motor vehicles to ensure greater safety in delivery and that the drivers are cautioned to drive carefully so as to get to the destinations safely.
It is news that at least two girls delivered in the course of the papers and good enough, else where 4 girls were allowed to sit papers though pregnant. Much more needs to be done to ensure that primary schools girls don’t get pregnant while still at school.
There is a school where examination papers were less than the number of candidates and papers had to be got from neighbouring schools. The issue here is whether these are not cases where papers are stolen and given out to the cheats.
Also noted was a sound bite on one FM Radio where a child was concerned as the exam papers had some similarity with what had recently been reviewed. The truth is that with the rampant corruption, UNEB cannot fill all the loopholes that can be used by the exam cheats.
Lastly,Basoga are not only known for making chapati’s some of which are half
fried but have gone a step to encroach on a swamp found at Kajjansi as you travel towards the airstrip. This is surely the generosity of Baganda, however, the authorities should move very fast and see a stop to this development. Papyrus is being cleared very fast for rice planting.
