“Let’s use this good office to coordinate Government programmes and services. People can only feel Government through service delivery and that’s the job my boss [President Museveni] has sent me to do. So let’s use it to elevate our people who sacrificed for over five years supporting our guerrilla struggle, because indeed as rightly put, this is our ‘Mecca’,” added Kaboyo.
After the commission, the minister also visited and talked to the leadership of civilian veterans of the District at their Hydrofarm block yard, located in Bamunanika, one of the historical sites of the NRM liberation struggle, where she again urged them to continue supporting Government programmes specially designed to elevate their standards of living.
