Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Attorney General has explained why Teso war claimants are not receiving their full compensation at ago as agreed with the government.<\/p>\n

Mr Kiwanuka Kiryowa in a telephone interview on Saturday said the war claimants are being paid piecemeal because of the available resource envelope.<\/p>\n

He added that the claimants who have received little pay will receive more in the subsequent financial years<\/p>\n

\u201cThe payment will only be stopped when their claims are fully covered,\u201d Mr Kiryowa explained.<\/p>\n

The President launched the compensation process in February with a start-up pay kit of Shs50 billion for Teso, Lango and Acholi sub-regions.<\/p>\n

However, some of the beneficiaries say it is meagre.<\/p>\n

But Mr Kiryowa said initially they had anticipated to have a similar amount of shs50b pay kit for the next financial year but the money has been cut to Shs30b.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we shall not stop there, we shall go back to Parliament to ask for more money,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Gilbert Olanya, the MP for Kilak South, said war claimants are being paid as little as between Shs300,000 and Shs500,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sad reality is that our parents who registered 15 years ago are toiling to see the real compensation process come to life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Queries<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr Daniel Egoriat Edepu, a resident of Akoboi Village in Olio Sub-county, Serere District, said he has so far been paid Shs900,000 as compensation for the11 cows he lost.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe agreed on price for every animal was Shs1.2m, they are now paying us Shs100, 000 for every animal, I think there must be some malice being done somewhere, this must be investigated,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Mr Geresem Eyimu, 82, said he has only been paid Shs5.4m for the 65 head of cattle he lost.<\/p>\n

\u201cI lodged my complaints to the government, the army officials came to verify my claims of the 65 heads of cattle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The three sub-regions are demanding for compensation as result of losses they incurred as result of the political upheavals between 1986 and 2003.<\/p>\n
