President Museveni Proposes Fair Distribution of Teso Cattle Compensation Fund to Benefit All Households
[]
State House Uganda
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has today urged that the ongoing cattle compensation exercise in Teso sub-region should benefit all households, rather than concentrating the funds on a few claimants.
President Museveni proposed that the outstanding UGX 169 billion should be shared equitably among all homesteads in Teso, rather than giving large sums to a few claimants.
Jessica Alupo, thanked President Museveni for visiting Teso Subregion to address the longstanding cattle issue.
Jackson Kafuuzi, reported that the compensation process has been overhauled to ensure direct payments to verified claimants, moving away from court-mediated settlements.
President Museveni launched the Cattle Compensation Initiative Series in March 2022 with a planned budget of UGX 200 billion.
