Sironko District Woman MP elect, Hon. Mafabi Asha Nabulo, has suggested that the UPDF and government to set up projects for the veterans after they retire from active army service.
Speaking at the ongoing NRM Leaders’ retreat at National Leadership Institute Kyankwanzi (NALI), Hon. Mafabi Asha was full of praise to the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) for the work they have done and are doing but said there are some loopholes regarding retiring less educated army officers.
After her appreciation, she asked the government to set up income generating projects (Plan) for veterans especially the less educated so that it keeps them busy and earning after retiring from the national arm army service.
She said she knows a number of them in the Eastern region who are her friends and are now struggling with life because after retiring, they don’t have any earnings.
“These people especially the less educated are out there struggling, I appeal to the UPDF and government to put a proper plan in place for such people so that when they retire, they don’t find it difficult to sustain their families or themselves,” Hon. Mafabi Asha Nabulo said.
Hon. Mafabi who doubles as a humanitarian under Mafabi Asha Foundation (MAF) has already exhibited signs of greatness coming to the 12th Parliament.
