New Vision (Kampala) - January 22, 2002 by Josephine Maseruka, Uganda

In order to curb the AIDS scourge in Uganda and Buganda kingdom, Mengo has decided to reward men who remain virgins until they are married.

The Mengo Minister for Health, Mr. Robert Sebunya, also District Governor of Rotary International Club 9200, on Friday said the move to reward virgin men had received great support from within and without Uganda.

"I get over 20 messages on the Internet daily on the issue and I am happy that our people have keen interest in such a proposal," Sebunya said.

"Baganda have for years rewarded female virgins. I think male virgins must be considered under this campaign," he added.
