"During challenging times when our financial resources were limited, I suggested to the late Col. Sserwanga Lwanga the idea of utilising the land around the barracks for economic activities to support the soldiers' families. It is gratifying to see that this suggestion was embraced, and I am grateful for the soldiers' dedication to boosting their incomes."
