Principal of National Unity Platform Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi Wine was on the streets of Kampala last night to donate to the street kids and people living on the streets.
Bobi Wine who was in company of his team with party Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya donated several items including food to the people on the streets.
He says these people end up on the streets for different reasons so they thought it prudent to reach out to them.
The Kampala Capital City Authority has carried several operations on city streets and arrested several street kids who mostly are Karamojongs.
These are taken to rehabilitation centres and later dropped back to Karamoja through the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development.
It’s also criminal to donate or give money to these street kids according to an ordinance put in place by KCCA.
According to a 2022 ordinance, Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) can punish people who violate the KCCA Child Protection Ordinance.
The ordinance makes it illegal for Children to loiter, beg, sell things or hawk in public places.
