Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi ll of Buganda Kingdom has cautioned on the use of social media and appealed to parents to monitor their children\u2019s social media accounts. While social media has become an integral part of society for connecting with friends, moralists have severally warned against the likely dangers and risks associated with it.<\/p>\n

In his end-of-year message to Ugandans, the Kabaka re-echoed the need for parents to guide their children on the appropriate use of social media to avoid its misuse. He particularly cited cyber harass- ment, highlighting that it is not good for the young generation.<\/p>\n

\u201cParents should monitor what their children are sharing on social media as well as their circle of friends,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kabaka Mutebi dared the young generation to focus on promoting and protecting their culture, instead of misusing social media.<\/p>\n

Message to leaders<\/strong><\/p>\n

He also lauded Buganda kingdom leaders and Members of Parliament representing Buganda region, for having Buganda\u2019s interests at heart and defending them to the core.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe leaders have emphasised the importance of Buganda Kingdom\u2019s existence and how conversations on Buganda Kingdom do not promote segregation, but its development and that of the country at large,\u201d Kabaka Mutebi said.<\/p>\n

Challenges<\/strong>
\nHe listed some of the kingdom\u2019s challenges, including some detractors he said are enemies of the Kingdom, who don\u2019t want to see it prosper. \u201cWe still have a task of promoting unity within the youth from the Buganda region to be able to speak with one voice and to defend the kingdom since they are the leaders of the next generation,\u201d the king said.<\/p>\n

He announced some of the kingdom\u2019s plans, including partnering with different institutions that are beneficial to the kingdom.<\/p>\n

The Katikkiro, Mr Charles Peter Mayiga, during the end-of-year media engagement, urged the government to continue protecting journalists\u2019 rights and guarantee their safety while on duty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, journalist have not been mistreated as it has been in the previ- ous years and we hope this will continue come next year,\u201d he said. Mr Mayiga also warned journalists against spreading false news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
