Street children picked a baby boy from a skip in Masaka town election day.

They told Daily Monitor that they found the baby on top of a rubbish heap on
Mawogola Street on February 23.

In a group of five, they move with the baby in the town begging financial
assistance.

One of them, Andrew Mayanja, said they found the baby in an old leather bag
whose zip was halfway open.

The bag, which Daily Monitor saw, contained some baby clothes.

"No. Don't tell us to report this to police,"Mayanja, the eldest of them said.

"This baby is ours now. Police will only arrest him. We can also take care of
him. He will feed the way we do. And please stop photographing us, we shall not
pay you for your pictures."

When Daily Monitor contatcted the Family and Child Protection Unit at Masaka
Police Station, an officer who, refused to disclose his name said they are aware
of the matter. "The children said they can help us identify the mother who
abandoned the baby," the officer said.
