Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>More than 100 deceased war veterans have been recognised for their role in the liberation struggle that brought the current government to power 36 years ago.<\/p>\n

They were recognised by their surviving colleagues who used to belong to the Kabalega camp.<\/p>\n

Among those remembered is late Charles Kyofatogabye, whose leadership qualities are said to have kept their camp strong and united throughout the five-year bush war.<\/p>\n

Kyofatogabye, who is the father of current State minister for Kampala Kabuye Kyofatogabye, died in 1997 at the age of 52.<\/p>\n

The war veterans converged at the home of the late Kyofatogabye in Kapeeka Sub-county at the weekend to honour their fallen colleagues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came up with a list of 100 bush war comrades from the Kabalega camp that have since died but were major pillars during the five-year long liberation war struggle,\u201d Mr Silvester Kiguli, one of the war surviving war veterans, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cKyofatogabye was among our leaders who exhibited great leadership and mobilisation skills,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Saleh join in<\/b><\/p>\n

The veterans were joined by one of their own, Gen Salim Saleh, the commander of the Operation Wealth Creation (OWC) programme, who laid a wreath at the grave of Kyofatogabye.<\/p>\n

But several war veterans expressed concern that they had been denied chance to meet the President, and other high ranking government officials that include Gen Saleh to talk about what could have gone wrong since the bush war in 1986, including the declining support for the NRM party in an area deemed to be the party\u2019s cradle land.<\/p>\n

When will the Luweero truth be told in full?<\/p>\n

But Gen Saleh told the veterans that he had scheduled a day next month when he will meet selected war veterans at his home in Kapeeka.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe theme here is to honour and thank God for the great work that our departed veteran comrades did for our country. We shall discuss our own issues at the right forum,\u201d he said briefly.<\/p>\n

Plan for war veterans<\/b><\/p>\n

Kampala minister Minsa Kabanda commended the bush war veterans for the team spirit despite the many challenges they have endured.<\/p>\n

\u201cI join my other comrades to commend and thank the war veterans for the great work they did. Government is now channelling most resources to organised groups through registered Saccos and not individuals. The veterans should form the Saccos to get government development funds,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur veterans should know that the government minds about their plight and partly explains why we want them to get registered under the Saccos to benefit from the government projects,\u201d Mr Kyofatogabye said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment will not extend financial support to individuals but will use the Saccos at the grass roots,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Background<\/b><\/p>\n

Luweero war survivors have in the recent past castigated government for neglecting them despite their role during the 1981-1986 Bush War that brought President Museveni to power. Luweero Triangle was the epicentre of the five-year guerrilla war that ushered Mr Museveni\u2019s government into power in 1986.<\/p>\n

However, 36 years later, residents have remained poor with some failing to enrol their children in good schools.<\/p>\n
