Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has disclosed that he has been playing a major role in helping his daughters and granddaughters on matters taking care of their bodies.

Speaking during the opening of the ICPD conference in Nairobi on Tuesday, the long-serving head of state termed himself ‘the consultant of his daughters’ bodies’.

He said that even though the ladies and girls own their bodies, it’s his responsibility to offer the needed help and advice when some is needed.

“I had the slogan which I support that girls own their bodies…I agree that my daughters and granddaughters own their bodies. Remember I am here as a veteran husband, father, grandfather and freedom fighter,” he said.

He said that there is nothing that does not require advise, and being a father and a veteran husband and freedom fighter, he is the best placed to offer that to his daughters.

According to him, while people are offering consultancies for almost everything else, nobody seems to bother about advising young people on how to manage themselves.

“I have had people hiring consultants for business..now who are the consultants of young people?” he added.

In the forum, world leaders explained their commitments to come up with measures to stop violence against females, end preventable maternal deaths and meet all women’s family planning needs.
