Government Donates 1,000 Hoes to Rukungiri Veterans.

The Office of the Prime Minister has allocated 1,000 hoes to veterans in Rukungiri District. 

The hoes were received on December 20, at the district headquarters in Rukungiri Municipality by LCV Chairperson Geoffrey Kyomukama, Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Steven Nsubuga Bewayo, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Hillary Agaba, and other district officials.  

While receiving the hoes, RDC Steven Nsubuga Bewayo noted that this donation is not because veterans cannot afford hoes but to recognize their contributions to the nation. He urged recipients not to sell the tools but to use them effectively.

Bewayo highlighted a concern that government-issued resources are often sold, encouraging veterans to utilize the hoes for their intended purpose.  

LCV Chairperson Geoffrey Kyomukama advised veterans to use the hoes to cultivate crops like coffee and bananas, which can help improve family incomes, reduce hunger, and alleviate poverty.  

Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Hillary Agaba informed our news reporter that the distribution plan will be communicated soon and that veterans across the district will receive the hoes in due time.
