THE GENESIS OF 1991 OJAPI AIR RAID VICTIM's COMPENSATION FILE, URGENTLY RAISED IN JULY 2016 BY HON AYAKA ROSE WOMAN MP MARACHA DISTRICT.

After the election victory of 2016, she was approached by the NRM chairman of Tara sub county, Ahmed Bran with the letter of the Ojapi air raid victims claims for  compensation  written way back in 2014. 

He said that the matter had not received due attention and that she should help follow this matter.

As one of her key resolutions to deliver justice to the victims, she gave a copy of the claimants letter to the President at State House Entebbe  in July 2016.

One week after her meeting with HE Museveni ,a response was given in a letter dated 12th July 2016 addressed to the Solicitor General to handle the matter.

Since then she has been following it up at different levels including writing to the Prime Minister and raising it on the floor of Parliament.

She said, she is glad the office of the CDF has so far carried two verification exercises on the ground. One last year and another one this week. 

On Wednesday this week when she talked to the victims Chair person during the verification exercises, he sounded hopeful  that something will be done by government  about their compensation.

She asked him to advise the claimants to be hopeful and patient as the processes proceed.

We are hopeful that the government will attend to their claims and I will follow this matter to it's conclusion.
