Uganda government continues backing veterans from the 1980s bush war through dedicated support programs. Minister Alice Kaboyo spoke Monday at National Heroes Day celebrations held at Kaliiro Trading Center. The event honored fighters and civilian helpers who supported the liberation struggle. Kaboyo praised President Museveni for creating the Luwero Triangle ministry to heal war wounds. Leaders gathered under the theme about heroes leaving memorable inspiration for future generations.
The ministry built five new houses for veteran families and funded 300 small business projects. Workers distributed over 18,000 iron sheets to poor households across three regions. Officials constructed classrooms and toilets across six districts during the past year. President Museveni wants practical help like building materials instead of complete houses for families. The government also bought ten chicken hatcheries to help small farmers raise income.
Museveni directed police stations at every sub-county to run 24-hour emergency phone lines. Better communication helps rural areas stay safer from crime and violence. The ministry wants to expand mass education programs and support veterans outside current poverty programs. Kaboyo asked for road improvements between Lyantonde and nearby towns for better connections. Many veterans still wait for compensation payments despite thousands already receiving money.
