He said the UPDF will also continue with the pacification of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo in line with the agreement with the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

“Madam Speaker, with respect to the capacity and wellbeing of our security forces, Government will in the medium term embark on enhancement of pay for our gallant men and women in uniform.”

Kasaija said the construction of the Military Referral Hospital in Mbuya is on schedule and within budget.

He said the second phase is now 95 percent complete, and targets all cities and major highways.

“Madam Speaker, Shs3.987 trillion has been provided for improvement of security and security infrastructure.”
