PRESIDENT MUSEVENI VISITS KABAROLE DISTRICT

The President, who is in kabarole district to popularise wealth creation in homes, said he would wish to pay all veterans’ gratuity but there were some sectors that needed a lot of funding, such as security and roads.

The chairperson of Katebwa War Veterans, Mr Richard Karozi, had earlier asked the President to compensate people who lost their property between 1981 and 1986 and also those whose houses were burnt by the ADF rebels.

He assured the veterans that he cared about their plight and was making efforts to improve their welfare.

Addressing a rally at Nsura Primary School in Katebwa Sub-county on Wednesday, the President announced that he had appointed some UPDF officers in some districts to mobilise veterans on household income and provide them with seedlings and other inputs to increase productivity.
