<p>"KAMPALA, Uganda (Reuters) – A Ugandan member of parliament has pledged to reward girls for their chastity by paying their university fees if they are virgins when they leave school, a local newspaper said on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Bbaale County MP Sulaiman Madada said any girl in his district who wanted to take part in the scheme aimed at promoting girls’ education would be given a gynecological examination by health workers to check they were virgins.</p>

<p>“The criterion is that a student must be a virgin and from Kayunga district,” he told the state-owned New Vision.</p>

<p>The MP did not extend his offer to young men."</p>
