Nankabirwa proposes to include martyrs day on National budget

By Moses Kidandi

The Government Chief Whip Ruth Nankabirwa has proposed before the presence of the Prime Minister Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda to consider including the Martyrs day celebrations in the national budget.

Nankabirwa says that the budget should be shared by the Catholic Church, Church of Uganda and Muslims during the preparations of the martyrs day celebrations since the events are considered as national.

This was during her speech as the Chairperson Organizing Committee of the Martyrs day celebrations at the Anglican Martyrs Shrine in Namugongo -Nakiyanja Wakiso district.

She further declared the commencement of phase two redevelopment of the site that involves the construction of an amphitheatre that covers the whole place to avoid rain and sunshine that disturb the pilgrims.
