MAKING PROPER USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

- Dear Editor, DR LUBINDA HAABAZOKA.

COLLEAGUES, we need to really pay attention to the behaviour of our colleagues on social media.

Some aggressive, use of abusive language and other forms of social media misconduct might be a sign that our colleague is going through mental or emotional problems!

Although some behaviour might be as a result of mixing social media with alcohol, much of the rant can be a sign that someone is really frustrated in their life despite posting happy pictures to show as if all is ok.

From social media, we can help save lives by moving in quickly. To the young ones, be careful what you post on social media because the first place we turn to now as employers is Facebook to study the behaviour of a prospectiv­e employee.

Social media has made it very easy for us to know the character and emotional state of prospectiv­e candidates.Those constantly insulting and bullying others will increasing­ly find it difficult to get decent jobs.

Have a productive week.

THE Enhanced Small Holder Livestock Investment Project (E-SLIP) has provided valuable support to the livestock sector, says Monze District Commission­er Munachoong­o Muleya.

Ms Muleya said there was need to strengthen government’s capacity for animals disease control and reducing incidences of East Coast Fever and Contagious Bovine Pleuropneu­monia which were major causes of animal mortality.

She explained that milk collection centres, namely, Nteme, Kaumba, Munyenze, St. Marys, Monze, Kayuni and Silwili dairies had benefitted from the E-SLIP project.

The E-SLIP, she said, had been providing capacity building, technical support, knowledge in rangeland management, pasture and forage seeds to cooperativ­e members.

Ms Muleya said Government had empowered women and youths through the E-SLIP livestock pass-on project.

She added that the project would make an indelible contributi­on to poverty reduction, household food security and nutrition.

Ms Muleya said the recent handing over of dairy cattle would mitigate the challenges small holder farmers had been going through.

“This pass–on scheme that has begun in Monze will surely empower the youths and women within the district and will increase in volumes of milk and also add to food security in the District,” Ms Muleya said.

She said that this has become a problem which requires an urgent solution.

MOGADISHU - One of five of Somalia’s regional government­s said on Sunday it had rejected the inclusion of national President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed in talks aimed at resolving a deadlock on a delayed election, exacerbati­ng a crisis on the vote.

Leaders in the two federal states, Puntland and Jubbaland, had already said earlier this month they would no longer recognise President Mohamed, whose term expired on February 8. – THE STANDARD, Kenya.
