Responding to some concerns raised by children represented by their Chairperson Kabandize Jacob that included missing out on government programs and funding, Hon. Aisa informed that all they need is being organized and have coordinated interests in their proposals for them to tap the opportunities in Ministry of defense.
“It’s so fortunate that Bugangaizi East Constituency was added to Luwero triangle which has a full ministry, that means it’s easy to move our cause”. She remarked.
