KABALE- State minister for Labour Herbert Kabafunzaki has said he will be giving condolence of Shs30,000 to every family in the constituency that loses a member.
Mr Kabafunzaki was at the weekend speaking at the launch of his constituency offices at Rwamatunguru in Kamwezi Sub-county which was attended by Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga.
Mr Kabafunzaki (NRM), who defeated FDC’s Jack Sabiiti, also promised to give four pigs to every village for multiplication and poverty eradication as well as establishing a sausage making plant.
“I have opened constituency coordination offices in every sub-county where the administrators shall be giving Shs30,000 as condolence to every family that loses its member. I will do this until my term of office expires, because I know that whereas government buys medicines for patients in health centres, it does not facilitate burial arrangements in case a patient dies,” he said, pledging to use the money given to MPs for car allowances to buy a constituency ambulance.
Mr Kabafunzaki also promised to put in place a community radio station in Rukiga County to help in community mobilisation.
