What are you doing? Are you an inspector of private parts?\u201d he said, attracting laughter from the students, adding, \u201cSex should be disciplined and deliberately used to produce new human beings and not [used] for a pleasure item.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He urged students to take a lesson from him who is fit due to his adopting healthy habits of neither drinking alcohol or smoking.<\/p>\n<p>The event was attended by top government officials including ministers, school administrators such as head teachers and other respective dignitaries.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President Jessica Alupo advised the students to make the best use of their studies to build a better country.<\/p>\n<p>The First Lady, Ms Janet Kataaha Museveni, who doubles as the Education and Sports Minister, hoped that the patriotism training enabled the students to attain both the required knowledge and skills for defending their country. Like her husband, she emphasised the need for discipline and observance of moral values for the betterment of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPatriotism is about the love of your country and its people but it\u2019s not enough&#8230;You must also learn to be patient and keep away from vices that affect our country,\u201d Ms Museveni said.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Helen Seku, the commissioner in charge of Patriotism in the office of the President, brought to light critical issues that were hindering the teaching of patriotism in schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are schools that have rejected patriotism and I will write you a report on that matter,\u201d Ms Seku informed the President.<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cI found in this office unnecessary bureaucracy that delays execution of tasks, hurdles that may seem to want to fail you&#8230;There were 15,000 caps that we requested for students [attending the event] but I was let down.<\/p>\n<p>Museveni reassured Ms Seku that some of the challenges she was facing on the job would be addressed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
