President Yoweri Museveni has urges Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) retirees to embrace wealth-creation activities in a safe and sustainable manner.
Museveni said during the retirement ceremony of Army Generals; Silver Kayemba, Charles Kisembo, Godard Busingye, Fred Karara, and CA Kasaija.
Museveni said the service of the retired officers has been so valuable to the country.
“We worked hard to ensure that our soldiers retire with a good package. In line with this commitment, we established a casualty unit in Mubende. It is essential that soldiers who have been injured or disabled while serving in the army are not left in vulnerable situations upon their return to their villages, especially considering the low salaries they receive,” he said on X, formerly Twitter.
“Now that people are retiring, they must do so with something reasonable. It is crucial for our fighters to have what they need to prosper. You should not gamble with your future but invest wisely in durable opportunities. I congratulate them and wish them good luck as they move forward,” Museveni said.
