President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has promised that the government is going to give special consideration to Acholi under the new format of the cattle compensation program, which will soon be rolled out across the Acholi, Lango, and Teso sub-regions.

The program seeks to redress the historical loss of livestock and wealth suffered by families during the insurgencies that ravaged Northern Uganda for decades.

Addressing thousands of supporters on Tuesday October 21, 2025, during a campaign rally at Opit Primary School playgrounds in Omoro Town Council, Omoro District, President Museveni, who is also the NRM presidential candidate, said the government had reviewed the previous cattle compensation framework and agreed to adopt a fairer and more transparent approach that guarantees inclusivity for all affected households.
