“I understand Abiriga was supporting his extended family as well. With his death, I pledge that we will continue to support you. I have instructed my office to set up a family SACCO for the family and I am pledging 50 million which should be utilized by the family members to generate income and go around” The President pledged.
The President who had earlier pledged support for Abiriga and his fallen brother’s kids and widows said NRM doesn’t dissent from their fallen soldiers families even in their death.
