Buli lwewabaawo ekitundu ky’okusoma ekiggyako wabaawo okukla
ebibuuzo olw’okulaba abo ababa basomye essomo eryo ona nga bwe
kityo bwe kyali mu mwaka ogwa 1999 abamu ab’ekibiina ekyo

ng’abo abakikola baba ba muswaba era ng’abasinga obungi
tebasobola kukola ekyo abazadde baabwe kyebabasuubiramu
olw’ensonga ezitali zimu.

Ng’asookera ddala erimu abaana abasing obungi naddala ku
