    This is seriously worrying news and I urge the Uganda Government to set up a special team of investigators immediately to work with specialists in the international community to curtail this exodus of naive Ugandan girls into Malaysia (and elsewhere)where I know they are at risk of unbelievable physical, sexual and psychological abuse and other set-ups including drug trafficking and drug abuse which end in capital punishment which means DEATH! I think the first lady, Mrs Janette Museveni, should be directly involved in this very urgent work.
