War veterans camped in Kiboga demand compensation promised by President Museveni

More than 5,000 war veterans, camped at Kitagenda Primary School in Rwamata Town Council since 2017, complained that the government has not paid compensation for losses from the 1981-1986 bush war. Through the Patriotic Veterans Association - Kasejjere-Kigemuzi, they said President Museveni had pledged Shs66 billion, iron sheets and cement at four meetings, but follow-ups had produced nothing. Leaders said they would not leave until they are compensated.
