“I have heard your cries, and I am going to handle this matter personally. Within six weeks, we shall find a solution to the Kasokoso land dispute,” President Museveni said, drawing loud applause from the crowd.

In a further show of support, the President committed UGX 30 million to the Kasokoso SACCO and pledged that every SACCO in Kira Municipality would receive UGX 100 million in government capitalisation support.
President Museveni emphasised the importance of proper SACCO management, calling on residents to actively monitor their operations to prevent corruption and ensure funds reach intended beneficiaries.
“Money must be managed with honesty. All of you leaders and members must follow up on these funds. This is your money to fight poverty,” he said.
