Training For All
Clergy Want Military Training For All
By Nathan Etengu
RELIGIOUS leaders from the Teso region have
appealed to the Government to make it mandatory for all able-bodied citizens
to undergo military training for national defence.
They said such
skills were necessary in situations of war, as was the case with the recent
invasion of Teso by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) rebels. “The climate in
Uganda necessitates that every Ugandan from the age of 18 years and above
should undergo military science training.
“We priests should also
undergo the same training,” said the Rev. John Erwau of the Church of Uganda,
Soroti Diocese.
He was speaking at a consultative meeting reviewing
the provision of social services to the people displaced by the LRA
incursions.
The meeting, called by the state minister for health,
Capt. Mike Mukula, was attended by more than 50 clergymen and chaired by the
bishop of Soroti Diocese, the Rt. Rev. Charles Obaikol.
Erwau said,
“Let Parliament discuss it and pass it into law.
“The same laws are
practiced in other developed countries including Israel.”
