ONC manager SPA Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye on Monday addressed a gathering of Katonga veterans and their sons and daughters.

In her speech, Hajjat Hadijah assured the veterans that President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has decided to honor their contribution to the NRA bush war that brought the NRM to power in 1986.

In the last stages of the NRA bush war under President Museveni, Katonga played a key role in the months leading up to the triumphant entry of the fighters in January 1986 when they deposed Gen Tito Okello Lutwa.

She also promised to deliver their grievances to President Museveni saying the Office of the National Chairman (ONC) will ensure they attend the Katonga celebrations slated for 8th September at Kololo Independence Grounds.

Hajjat Hadijah who delivered her speech while surrounded by the veterans who occasionally cheered her, promised to return to the area with household income generating items like sewing machines, chicks, hair dryers and hair cut machines that ONC has been distributing in various parts of the country.

One of the veterans, only identified as Kasasa who has previously been announced dead, revealed chilling details of how the defining war of Katonga led to the capture of Kampala in January 1986.

The ONC boss also got a guided tour of the famous R. Katonga by Major Muwanga. She addressed a press conference on the banks of the river and reiterated her promise to Katonga while evoking the spirits of the area.
