He further praised UPDF Engineers Brigade for exhibiting high levels of discipline as they did the engineering works in the region.

The Chief Political Commissar (CPC) Brig Henry Matisko commended the people of Luwero for allowing their children to participate in the liberation struggle, that finally ushered in peace and development.

The Chief of Education Sports and Culture (CESC) Brig Wilson Muhabuzi while handing over the books said that it was the District body that sat and selected the schools which are to benefit from the civil-military activities. He reminded the audience at Mazzi that the theme for the 39th Tarehe Sita is aimed at consolidating the UPDF strategic partnership with the people to safeguard gains of liberations and therefore the act of sharing the little his department has is to fulfill that theme.

Mr. Tenywa Thomas the headmaster of Mazzi Church of Uganda Primary School thanked UPDF for the offer of supplying exercise books to pupils in his school and argued parents to provide food for their children during school times.

The occasion was attended by senior UPDF officers, religious leaders, and area political heads among others.
