MUSEVENI ADVISES KARAMOJA LEADERSHIP ON HYGIENE Cautions against shaking hands to avoid Marburg disease While speaking at Karenga Boys Primary School in Napore County Kaabong district in Karamoja sub-region, President Yoweri Museveni yesterday appealed to the karamoja leadership to improve on hygiene especially in digging pit latrines with proper covers in order for them to fight killer diseases like Hepatitis E explaining that hepatitis E can only be avoided by proper disposal of human waste. “There should be a campaign to build latrines with proper covers to avoid the spread of disease, “he said. “This sickness affects the liver and we all have only one liver unlike the kidneys or lungs that are two. Once the liver is damaged, it will be a big problem for you,” he cautioned. The President also cautioned the people of Karamoja sub-region to guard against other deadly disease like Marburg by not shaking hands while greeting. “I call upon you to stop shaking hands, just wave to the people, until further notice” he advised.
