Tension and disappointment are brewing among youth living in the ghettos of Mukono District, who claim they never benefited from the money President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni pledged to support them with in 2023.
In December 2023, President Museveni promised to give each ghetto Savings and Credit Cooperative Organization (SACCO) Shs100 million to help members start small businesses and improve their livelihoods. The initiative, launched under his nationwide ghetto empowerment program, aimed to transform struggling urban youths and steer them away from poverty and crime.
