The Mbarara District has decided to postpone the observance of International Older Persons Day, originally scheduled for on Friday in Kagongi Sub County, Kashari North, due to a lack of financial resources.
In a statement to our correspondent, Didas Tabaro, the Chairperson of LC5 Mbarara District, expressed that the District had initially intended to mark the day as a gesture of acknowledging the contributions of older individuals. Unfortunately, the organizing committee has been unable to secure funds from well-wishers because they lacked a budget allocated by the Government for the event.
Additionally, the district leader commended the Government for its support of older persons through the Social Assistance Grant for Empowerment.
