Judy,

Ayie kodi. You bring the facts as fast as possible.

Jakom must not play to the gallary of those who will never vote for him, cut or not cut.

Instead, he must work for the economic take off of oganda wa.
If anything, just like Migosi Onyango pointed out, male genital mutilation MGM, is as bad as female genital mutilation FGM.

An nyar luo ma royuombe aonge go gi tich, ayaki en tuo majoma chodo maok orwako nyabuoyuga (Condom) kata maok oritore to yude makata irayuom kata ok in.

Raila ni en kare odwa tiyo tinje adi, en PM, en lakatar mar ayaki kendo en Ker mar Luo, Teso kod Joturkana.

An kod chuara to Raila ok bi tero nyangu.

Raila never said that circumcision helps to prevent the effect 100%,but it is also a factor among other measures.In the kenya case ,the luos have died more from HIV/AIDs than other tribes which is a fact.

Therefore,Raila is right to advise the said communities to include circumcision as one of the ways of reducing the spread.The luos have taken other measures just like other communities who circumcise,but spread is still high among the luos.

Therefore,we have to join other communities to include circumcision as one of the measures of reducing the spread of HIV/AIDs among.

It is logical that way Mr.Oduor.We should use our local health data instead of quoting politicians and other researchers who are not familiar with our local situation.

The challenge luos are facing on spread of HIV/AIDs is to accept that we are die of disease which is incurable at the moment.

Our cultural believe based on the name CHIRA should not spread.We have to be serious and accept to practice the listed measures of controling the spread faithfully.Our intellectuals and leaders should come openly and about the subject.

It is well known fact that RWANDA was one most highly affected and now through public education by the government and other organizations,the rate of effect has been reduced considerably.In their fight against the spread,RWANDA has adopted circumcision practices as one of the measures.

Therefore,Mr. Odour your contributions on this particular case is not convincing because your
quoting politicians and some scientific publications.

For politicians like Mbeki is from a country where some politicians believe that clean washing after sex is enough measure to prevent the effect.

Museveni and other scientific publications are talking more on the process of circumcision where dirty tools are used traditionally during the circumcison.The fear here is how it is done, tools which are used,and the healing process.

Therefore,if the fear is the process,then all the circumcision should be carried out in the
hospitals and health centers.The healing process should be monitored by health personels.
When done this way,the effect of HIV/AIDs during circumcision will be reduced.

I support Raila to have come out as a true leader of the people to talk about this subject
openly.This is what is expected of a leader.

We can not shy from talking about HIV/AIDs and yet we losing our relatives and friends because of HIV/AIDs related diseases.This is known fact which does not require too much debate.

We have to find all ways of helping ourselves from this major problems in our society. We should not politicise this major problem facing our people.

out and speak

Well spoken. But we dint have to wait to be told by a foreigner.

Careless sex is what brought about AIDS.

Lid Cover should not be condemned for it is just a protection cover from exposure to extreme polluted sorroundings. It is an additional lid to protect the tenderness of the skin from infection.

The word circumsision was figurative a change in heart and transformation to Christianity. So it had nothing to do with sex because Jesus never had sex with a woman (correct me here).

The Luos, I believe, majority of those uncut fanctions and tastes differently even better than the cut. Why waste time on this subject, ask for comment from your spouses. You can also tell from the way there is influx rush of women to Luo men although poor. Theirs is natural. Any natural thing is good.

I will ask Luo men to stay put but discipline yourselves. Sex is not everything. It is God’s gift to fulfil his lovely purpose and will of creation.
