There is a common saying among the adoleacent youth that; “virginity is not dignity but lack of opportunity,” persuasive to force young girls into premarital s3x.
However, to the Church of Uganda Archbishop, Rt Rev Stephen Samuel Kazimba Mugalu, girls with virginity still have much dignity and are going to receive rewards for maintaining purity
While on his Pastoral visit to some schools in Wakiso district ahead of CoU celebrations to mark 50 years of the diocese of Kampala at Gayaza High School, the Archbishop made it clear that he was thinking of rewarding girls who have not lost their virginity
In an interview with a local radio station, 93.3KFM, Adams Sadiiki, the communications officer COU said the initiative by the Archbishop is meant to promote purity in courtship, healthy dating and respectable marriages.
It should be recalled that while serving as Bishop of Mityana, Kaziimba started a program of honoring couples that upheld chastity till the time of marriage.
Sadiik told KFM that Dr. Kazimba has put aside some cash rewards for the same program that will be given to girls who will pass an assessment by a team of highly respected born again women well conversant with proving that one is a virgin.
