Each of the Fifty nine (59) survivors and relatives of those who perished on Friday received Shs 5 million which was earlier promised by President Museveni during his recent visit to Bukedea district.

She said it was a token delivered by the president to help wipe away the tears from the victims.

Anita and her Kachumbala county counterpart Patrick Opolot Isiagi also donated 60 hoes and nine saucepans to the war victims.

29 people perished in Kamuriakere village Kongunga town council on February 6, 1986 when NRA soldiers clashed with remnants of UNLF in a bloody battle that also left at least 30 homes torched and hundreds displaced.

Some of the victims whom NBS TV caught up with thanked MPs Anita Among and Opolot Isiagi for pushing government to support them.
