‘’Some of those who had come to be recruited came from as far away as Rukungiri, some had LC1 letters from Soroti while others were above the minimum age of 35’’, Said Major Henry Obbo. We have so far received only three women in the first batch and we hope more will be coming’.
The Resident City Commissioner Kampala central Sarah Bananuka said, she is amazed by the turn up at the centre and encouraged all able bodied youth and mostly women to join the exercise.
