PRESIDENT MUSEVENI LAUNCHES FOUR-ACRE MODEL CAMPAIGN IN GREATER KIBAALE DISTRICTS

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Friday 15th November, 2024 launched the Four-Acre Model, modern type of farming campaign in Greater Kibaale Districts. The Greater Kibaale districts comprise Kakumiro, Kagadi and Kibaale. The campaign is aimed at empowering farmers across Greater Kibaale District. This initiative seeks to extend support and best farming practices to farmers in Kakumiro, Kagadi, Kibaale districts. The event took place at Kikwaya Primary School playground, Kakumiro. Launching the campaign, President Museveni urged the people of Greater Kibaale to embrace the four-acre model farming to stabilise their household incomes. “My people in Gomba and Sembabule are doing well. Over 2,035 households are already in the money economy through commercial agriculture following my poverty alleviation program in the area,” he stated. The President further informed the locals that he started preaching the gospel of wealth creation in the 1960s and up to now he is still doing so. He said his guidance has helped a good number of Ugandans to create wealth, citing an example of the people in the cattle corridor who listened to his advice of embracing commercial dairy farming and are now doing well. “The people of Greater Masaka also listened to our advice, they are growing coffee and are now doing well.” The Prime Minister, Rt. Hon Robinah Nabbanja commended President Museveni for always guiding Ugandans on how to fight poverty through different wealth creation initiatives such as commercial agriculture. “Even me, I started a four-acre model farm, and I will invite you one day and see what we have done,” Rt. Hon. Nabbanja noted. “I also have 6 acres of onions, I get between Shs 300 - Shs 400 million.” The Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Hon. Matia Kasaija thanked the President for his initiative of preaching wealth creation through commercial agriculture to Ugandans. “We appreciate you so much, Your Excellency,” he said. The Minister of State for Transport, Hon. Fred Byamukama appreciated President Museveni for the visit and for launching the model which will go a long way in promoting commercial agriculture, thus helping the farmers to create wealth. “We believe in five years to come, every sub county will be having more than 100 Model farmers,” he said. Earlier, the President made an extensive tour of the four-acre model farms in Kakumiro District. The tour commenced at the Kamanyire Demonstration Farm owned by Hon. Byamukama. This farm features activities such as zero grazing, piggery, and poultry rearing. President Museveni also took time to inspect the different components of the farm, appreciating the dedication of Hon. Byamukama to comprehensive agricultural development. One of the highlights of this tour was the pineapple plantation, where the President symbolically harvested ripe pineapples, signalling his support for diversified fruit farming. Additionally, he toured the innovative four-acre model irrigation scheme which is powered by solar energy. This project is designed to assist village farmers with small plots in maintaining consistent crop yields through efficient water use. The President then visited the farm of Ms. Namubiru Sylvia, also part of the Kamanyire farming initiative. Located in Kikwaya village, Ms. Namubiru’s farm boasts productive coffee and banana plantations, alongside zero-grazing dairy cows and a piggery. The event was also attended by Hon. Frank Tumwebaze, the Minister of Agriculture, Animal Industry & Fisheries, Hon. Martin Mugarra Bahinduka, the State Minister for Tourism, Members of Parliament, among others.

PRESIDENT MUSEVENI EMPHASISES WEALTH CREATION TO ACHIEVE SOCIO-ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has informed leaders in the Bukedi subregion that Uganda can only achieve the desired socio-economic transformation through wealth creation. “These things must be clear in our heads. Yes, health, education, that is service delivery, when you talk of roads and so on, that is development, but in order to achieve socio-economic transformation, we need to create wealth. This is conceptual, it's not lack of resources, it's lack of concept,” he said. President Museveni who is currently on a performance assessment tour on Parish Development Model (PDM) and wealth creation in Bukedi, made the remarks on Saturday 9th November 2024 while addressing leaders from across the sub region at Butaleja District Headquarters. According to President Museveni, the NRM government has always come up with several interventions such as the four acre-model type of farming, to help Ugandans fight poverty and create wealth. “In the 1996 Manifesto, following the research I had done in the cattle corridor, we put up the four acre-model, but people were not listening, they were on other things. Now the people who listened to us a bit are doing very well. If you see the area of Masaka now, they are doing very well with coffee. The cattle corridor is prosperous, Masaka area and some other parts in Buganda are quite prosperous. Kalangala has also changed a lot because of palm oil as well as Bundibugyo which grows palm oil, coffee and upland rice,” the President said. “We said that you people of four acres or less the medicine which can get you out of poverty is number one, have one acre of coffee, second acre put in fruits, third acre you put pasture for dairy cows, the fourth acre for food such as cassava, then in the backyard you put poultry for eggs and piggery. At the edge of the wetlands, you do fish farming. In Bukedi, you can as well grow cocoa,” he added, advising that people with small pieces of land should forego crops like cotton, sugarcane and maize because in order to be profitable, they need to be grown on a big scale. On the other hand, President Museveni urged the people of Bukedi to start utilising wetlands well by shifting from rice growing in the swamps to fish farming at the edges of the wetlands. “If you are a leader and you don't guide the people you lead well, it's a sin, you are going to get a problem and for me I don't want to go to hell. That's why I always tell you what God has shown me,” he noted. “When you come to Bukedi, Busoga, Teso and Lango, they are the richest parts of the world. God made these areas so well. You get a swamp, maybe 200 metres wide, sometimes bigger, then you get dry land, then you get another swamp. You have got land and water, but the problem is you don't know how to use them. You are underutilizing and mis-utilising this great resource.” Citing an example of Limoto Wetland, President Museveni explained that due to proper fishing practices in that particular wetland, farmers can make Shs 60 million from fishponds on one acre. “I want the Bakedi to know how to use the wetlands well and better. I would like you to do two things, number one use the wetlands better and get more money out of them and at the same time, save the wetlands, that is why the fishponds should not be in the centre but at the edges of the wetland.” President Museveni also emphasised irrigation to increase productivity. On the issue of PDM and Emyooga, the President revealed that the programs are doing well in the Subregion. “I have seen the farmers I have visited, they are very happy. We are going to continue investing more money in the PDM every year, the same with Emyooga,”he said. The Vice President, H.E Jessica Alupo lauded the President for his excellent and practical approach towards securing the future of all Ugandans through wealth creation programs and shared prosperity. “Your Excellency, I welcome you to the Bukedi sub region and thank you for the zonal tour. This zonal tour has greatly helped in awakening and mobilising the population to meaningfully participate in wealth and job creation initiatives, as demonstrated by the farmers who we visited yesterday,” the Vice President said. “Your Excellency, the mantle of securing the future of Uganda is a great task; it needs leadership that has been tried, tested and found worthy to be trusted with responsibilities and in you, Your Excellency, the people of Uganda found a suitable choice.” The Prime Minister, Rt. Hon Robinah Nabbanja thanked President Museveni and the National Resistance Movement (NRM) government for the commendable work done in empowering Ugandans through various programs like the PDM. “The NRM government was given mandate in 2021-2026 and so far 35 percent of all our commitments have been fulfilled and 49 percent of our commitments to the people of Uganda are still ongoing and I believe by the year 2026 we shall have achieved 84 percent of the fulfilment of our NRM Manifesto,” Rt. Hon. Nabbanja said. The Secretary General of NRM, Rt. Hon. Richard Todwong also commended President Museveni for his wise leadership that has enabled him to guide the leaders on how to address the issues affecting the ordinary person. “We thank you for the stewardship you have given to this country and for holding the party flag and the party Manifesto high,” he said. The Member of Parliament for Kibale County-Pallisa, Hon. Richard Oseku who presented a joint Memorandum of Bukedi Subregion informed the President that the people of Bukedi acknowledge and appreciate the government interventions aimed at fighting poverty and enabling Ugandans to create wealth. He however raised a matter of concern that some parishes in the sub region are yet to be gazetted and their residents have not benefited from the Parish Development Model initiative. The meeting was also attended by Ministers, Members of Parliament, NRM Central Executive Committee (CEC) members, District leaders, cultural and religious leaders, among others.

“WE ARE WORKING FOR THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION OF UGANDANS”- PRESIDENT MUSEVENI ASSURES NRM PARLIAMENTARY CAUCUS

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has assured the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Parliamentary Caucus that since coming to power in 1986, his government has been working for the socio-economic transformation of Ugandans. “A country like Uganda is very rich, it has got a lot of national resources but the problem is that the population did not know how to use the national resources to live a good way; the modern way and that's why we have been advising them that they need to move on two fronts. Number one, free education for all and number two, prosperity /wealth creation for all,” he said. The President made the remarks today while meeting the NRM Parliamentary Caucus led by the Government Chief Whip, Hon. Denis Hamson Obua at his Kisozi farm in Gomba District. The meeting was also attended by some wealth creators in the area. President Museveni explained that in order to achieve the desired socio-economic transformation, Ugandans need to get involved in the money economy through the four sectors of the economy which include, commercial agriculture, industries/manufacturing, services and ICT. “Now if you go into one of those, definitely, you join the money economy because part of the problem of Uganda here was that the majority of the people were outside the money economy, they were just working for food,” he said. “We have been educating Ugandans about commercial agriculture with “ekibaro” (to assess how much you would get). In this case we insist that separate intensive agriculture where you go for the high value enterprises from extensive agriculture where you get little money per acre but because you have done it on a big scale, you will end up getting good money.” President Museveni also revealed that through the government, he has been able to successfully preach the wealth creation gospel to many parts of the country like the cattle corridor. “In the cattle corridor we have done a good job, people have joined dairy farming but where we are now, many parts are mainly crop areas and this is where we have been fighting to get this concept of intensive agriculture where people with small land can get out of poverty,” he noted. “When I came here, of course there were a lot of contradictory messages but eventually people listened to what I was telling them.” On the misconception, misinformation and politicising government programmes (rationalisation, specifically the Uganda Coffee Development Authority), the President advised the legislators that, “We are going to have a showdown, they are liars and criminals playing with fire. They will not like the counterattack.” Ms. Sarah Nalwanga, the coordinator of the Presidential poverty alleviation program in Gomba and Sembabule Districts informed the MPs that the President started the project in 2011 where he preached wealth creation through commercial agriculture. “People here had land but had nothing to eat since they had no knowledge on how to utilise their land. Since 2011, we have been giving out crop inputs, goats, poultry, dairy cows, coffee seedlings and banana tissues. I thank our farmers for following His Excellency’s advice on wealth creation,” she said. Ms. Nalwanga also noted that in the 9 villages of Gomba and Sembabule, so far over 1,800 households have benefited with 769 in coffee growing, 556 in dairy farming, 336 in goat rearing, and others in other enterprises. She also assured the President that the residents in Gomba and Sembabule are now food secure. Mr. Mulika Noah Peterson, a coffee farmer from Kirasi thanked President Museveni for supporting them in transforming their lives through his poverty alleviation project. “Before we started growing coffee, we were living a very miserable life but where we are now, since you supported us, we are doing well and going far,” Mr. Mulika said. “In Kirasi we were so badly off economically, we didn't have anything but due to your efforts, we are now progressing.We thank you, Your Excellency for the transformation. I started with one acre of coffee in 2013 but now I have four acres of elite coffee and I'm adding 3 more acres. In a year I can now make Shs50 million from coffee,” he further asserted. Ms. Rosette Kadoozi, a resident of Lutunku A also appreciated the President for transforming their lives. “The exotic cows you gave us give us plenty of milk which we consume at home and also sell. We thank you, Your Excellency and Maama Janet for making us rich,” she said. “In a month, I get Shs900,000 from selling milk. Thank you Mzee.” Mr. Lule John, the Chairperson LC1 of Kisozi A also commended President Museveni for uplifting their lives through the Presidential Poverty alleviation project. “Yes, we may not have achieved where we want to be yet, but at least we are moving. Your Excellency, you found us when we are food insecure, yet we had the land. Your Excellency, you gave us cassava cuttings, coffee seedlings, maize and hoes. We started slowly but as I speak now, we have enough food. We have a lot of cassava, and we don't have a market for it,” he stated. “Since you started supporting us, we are now singing a different song, Your Excellency, we are transformed.” Mr. Lule also informed the President that coffee has played a big role in transforming the lives of the people in his area. “The first coffee seedling I planted was from you, Your Excellency, now I have more than 10 acres of coffee but out of those, I’m harvesting from 9 acres. Your Excellency, I'm not alone, many people have benefited from your project, and they are totally a changed story,” he said. “I have been able to build a nice home and a new car for myself. Whenever I see you, I say if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have bought this car.” Mr. Lule also castigated the people who are attacking the President over his decision on the rationalisation of the Uganda Coffee Development Authority, saying they are doing it out of ignorance. “We have not been receiving services from these agencies like UCDA. Those saying that you don't wish well coffee farmers have a problem. When you came here in the 1990s, I was a child in school. We had only two people with coffee plantations in Kisozi A. Those were my grandfather and father who had a quarter an acre and half an acre respectively. But now we have 295 acres of coffee as people of Kisozi A.” He advised that the leaders such as the NRM MPs should sensitise the masses that the Coffee bill is meant to develop the coffee sector. Earlier, the legislators and government officials had a field tour to several farms of the successful wealth creators. The field tour was led by the Vice President H.E Jessica Alupo and also attended by members of the NRM top organ, various ministers, and a delegation led by EALA Speaker Rt. Hon Joseph Ntakirutimana. Rt. Hon. Ntakirutimana said that they were visiting as part of an oversight effort, aiming to learn from the President's good farm practices and the experiences of local farmers. Among those who shared their stories was Mr. Sonko Anthony, a coffee farmer, of Kifamba who reported that his 15-acre farm produced 14,400kg of coffee last season, yielding Shs 86 million. “I am able to pay school fees for my five children,” he shared, adding that he also received banana suckers from the President, which allowed him to intercrop matooke with coffee.

PRESIDENT MUSEVENI URGES BUSOGA MASTERS OF CEREMONIES TO BE AMBASSADORS OF WEALTH CREATION

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has urged the Masters of Ceremonies (MCs) in Busoga to be Ambassadors of wealth creation in the Subregion in order to contribute to the socio-economic transformation of Ugandans. President Museveni made the remarks today in his speech delivered by Haji Faruk Kirunda, the Special Presidential Assistant- Press and Mobilization while addressing the Busoga ceremony MCs at Sikezy Hotel, Iganga District. The Busoga Cultural and Events Speakers Association (BUSUSA), which is led by Mr. Meddy Dhakaba has over 250 MCs and it aims at uniting and helping them maintain professionalism and discipline in their field of work. The President also implored the MCs to use their platform to popularise government programs like the Parish Development Model (PDM) and Emyooga, aimed at helping Ugandans to fight poverty and create wealth. “Use the ceremonies to sensitise the masses on wealth creation and this also helps you because when people create wealth, they will be able to organise parties which you host and when they are poor, they will not be able to organise them,” President Museveni said in his message delivered by Haji Kirunda. “Be Ambassadors of wealth creation in your communities and also ensure that you change the mindsets of locals for positive development results.” He further advised the MCs to stay united and use their microphones to preach peace and stability in the country. “MCs can build or easily break the nation.” The President also castigated leaders especially those belonging to the ruling party- the National Resistance Movement (NRM) who shy away from using the media to mobilise and sensitise Ugandans on the achievements and programs of the government. “You instead let the enemies of the government use the media to try to cause instability in the country,” he cautioned. At the same event, President Museveni also contributed Shs10 Million to the new SACCO of the MCs association. The Iganga District Woman Member of Parliament, Hon. Sauda Kauma Alibawo thanked President Museveni for his able leadership that enables Ugandans to exercise their rights such as freedom of speech. “We thank you, Your Excellency, for enabling Ugandans to exercise their rights through the 1995 National Constitution,” she said. She however cautioned that Ugandans should utilise this freedom of speech well and not use it to destabilise the peace in the country. The event was also attended by the NRM Chairperson- Iganga District, Hajji Abubakar Walubi,the Minister of Information for Busoga, Mr. Michael Kifubangabo, who represented the kingdom, Jinja Northern Division Deputy Resident City Commissioner (D/RCC), Mr. Hamis Kiganira, Iganga Assistant RDC, Mr. Blessing Mubbi, Namayingo Assistant RDC, Mr. Yakut Kalange, among others.

A total of 57 Police Presidential Guard officers have undergone an induction course. The officers who completed the Tier II induction course on Tuesday 22nd October, 2024, were passed out at Fort Samora Machel Special Training School in Waza, Kaweweta, Nakaseke District. The Chief of Staff-Special Forces Command (SFC), Brig Gen. Paul Namawa congratulated the officers upon completing the induction course. “On your part, it's a culmination of your hard work, dedication and unwavering commitment to excellence. We honour you, the graduates of the special unit tactics course. You now stand before us here not only as Police Presidential Guard's men and women but now as elite warriors who have embraced the rigorous training and challenges that define our special forces,” he said. Brig. Gen. Namawa also thanked President Museveni for his visionary leadership that led to the formation of the Police Presidential Guard unit. “First and foremost we appreciate the strategic guidance by the Commander-In-Chief, His Excellency the President of the Republic of Uganda and the fountain of honour who is the vision bearer, he gave the guidance of creating what we are witnessing today. I would like to thank the Chief of the Defence Forces and Senior Presidential Advisor on Special Operations, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba for his continuous guidance through the capacity building journey of our security forces. I also take this honour to thank the leadership of the Uganda Police Force for selecting, mentoring and guiding you the graduates through basic training. We also thank the UPF for the continued sustainment of the Police Presidential Guards since inception dating many years back.” He said the special units tactics course is not merely an academic endeavour, it's a course that sets the limit for physical endurance, mental resilience and tactical acumen. “Over the past weeks you have learned your skills in small unit Operations, learning to think critically under pressure to adapt quickly to changing circumstances and to work cohesively as a team. These are skills required of any armed personnel preparing to undertake Very Important Person's Protection tasks under a contemporary threatening environment.” On his part, the Director Human Resource Development and Training of the Uganda Police Force, AIGP Kafeero Moses congratulated the trainees upon finishing this course. "I must thank the commandant of this school and the instructors. Like I said, I have been an instructor for many years. Training and getting your products perform such excellent tasks and demonstrations is proof that the commandant and his team have done very great work. As earlier said, keep up these good skills in the field and again keep growing in your career and whenever you are given an opportunity to do any other course, take it in good faith. Attitude towards training is very important," AIGP kafeero noted. “I know you did the earlier police course and now you have gone on to advance at this course, therefore, this is a great opportunity that you are picked to add on your skills and therefore in your career, whenever your bosses pick up on you to do another course, again have that great attitude. Training is about attitude, and once you have a great attitude, you'll finish on the same high note you started with.” The Commandant of Oliver Reginald Tambo School of Leadership School, Col. Justus Rukundo gave a brief talk to the graduates on the importance of ideological development. He quoted H.E Thomas Sankara, the former President of Burkina Faso as saying: “A soldier without political training is a potential criminal.” Col. Rukundo said the fundamental problem of development in Uganda is backwardness and underdevelopment. He said fighting backwardness can be achieved by grasping the four principles that the government put forward: Patriotism, Pan Africanism, socio-economic transformation and democracy. The Director of Training and Doctrine- SFC, Lt Col. Paul Micki Lokut said the special unit tactics course would go a long way in helping the trainees in being combat ready, able to undertake any challenge. He asked the trainees to thank themselves for taking themselves quite far by doing this course. He said today's demonstrations by members of the PPG were quite impressive. He also extended appreciation to the commander of SFC for all the support that was rendered to training. The Commandant of Fort Samora Machel Special Force Training School, Maj. Aloysious Nsobya applauded the trainees for their resilience. He thanked the UPDF, SFC and Uganda Police Force leadership for supporting this noble cause of training the PPG officers. He implored the trainees to go and serve the country and always be available for their respective duties.

PACIFYING SOMALIA: PRESIDENT MUSEVENI AND H.E HASSAN SHEIKH MOHAMUD HOLD TALKS

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has committed to continue supporting the Federal Republic of Somalia in her efforts towards total peace and stability. The President made the commitment on Saturday, October 19, 2024, during bilateral talks with H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of the Federal Republic of Somalia, at State Lodge, Nakasero in Kampala, who is in the country as an official guest. According to a communiqué read by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gen. Jeje Odongo, the two Heads of State exchanged views on the security situation in Somalia and the region and underscored the need to maintain peace, security, and stability in the Horn of Africa and in the African continent as a whole. They also commended sacrifices made by the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) and Somali Security Forces in pacifying the country and the fight against Al-Shabaab. The Heads of State welcomed the establishment of the new Mission of the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) and built up on the achievements made by its predecessor ATMIS. “The mission should also leverage the lessons learned and implement a strategy that meets the specific capabilities required by the Somali Security Sector,” they said. They also emphasised that it is crucial to explore all funding options, including UN resolution 2719, and AUSSOM must have predictable and sustainable funding, and called upon the support of the International Community. The Heads of State further emphasised the need to adequately support the implementation of the Somali Security Development Plan and building the capabilities of the Somali Security Forces (SSFs) and called upon the international community to support in building capabilities to ensure smooth exit of AUSSOM. At the same ceremony, President Museveni and his guest witnessed the signing of the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), which is an integral part of the Memorandum of Understanding on Defense Cooperation, and noted the readiness by the respective Ministers to sign Memoranda of Understanding on Education and Sports, Immigration Management, and directed for the convening of the second session of the Joint Permanent Commission and Investment and Business Summit as soon as possible. Gen. Odongo Jeje Abubaker, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uganda, and Mr. Ahmed Moallim Fiqi Ahmed, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Somalia, signed the SOFA on behalf of the two countries. President Museveni congratulated H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud upon the Federal Republic of Somalia becoming a new member of the East African Community, which marked a new era of regional integration, wider regional markets, and trade cooperation. He also congratulated Somalia for being an incoming non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the years 2025-2026. The Heads of State reiterated their commitment to deepen integration through the East African Community (EAC), the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD), and the wider African Union and further called upon the international community to continue supporting Somalia in building its institutions, especially Somali Security Forces (SSFs), to ensure that the progress and gains made are consolidated, as well as support for climate action and humanitarian assistance. His Excellency Hassan Sheikh Mohamud commended H.E. Museveni, the government, and the people of Uganda for the sacrifice made and commitment since 2007 to peace, security, and stability in Somalia and the region at large. “We are grateful for Uganda’s support in the fight against global terrorism in Somalia. In 2007, Uganda was the first country to respond to Somalia’s call for the deployment of peacekeeping troops—the Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF) until today continues to support us in our fight against terrorism and in keeping the peace,” H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud noted, while underscoring the need to further solidify the strong partnership between the two countries not only for a safer, more prosperous future but also to make a difference that resonates far beyond the borders. “Uganda is a truly invaluable ally, a reliable partner, supporter, and friend to Somalia. Your personal leadership and commitment, alongside your government’s efforts in Somalia in the last decade, have supported us to go forward to a better and brighter future for our people. Somalia will remain grateful entirely,” H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said. Their Excellencies also welcomed the lifting of the arms embargo on Somalia, which presents an opportunity to the Federal Government of Somalia to expedite the transition process, ensure the phased implementation of the Somali Security Development Plan, and enable the country to shoulder its security responsibilities. On trade, President Museveni and H.E Hassan Sheikh Mohamud underscored the need to further increase the volumes of bilateral trade between the two countries by bringing together the respective private sectors to identify opportunities for investment, trade, and tourism. President Museveni expressed gratitude to His Excellency Hassan Sheikh Mohamud for honouring his invitation and for the fruitful discussions held. H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud extended an invitation to His Excellency Museveni to visit the Federal Republic of Somalia. The ceremony was attended by, among others, the Minister for Defense and Veteran Affairs, Hon. Jacob Oboth Oboth, the Deputy Chief of Defense Forces, Lt. Gen. Sam Okiding, and the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defense and Veteran Affairs, Rosette Byengoma. Others were Ambassador Prof. Sam Tulya-Muhika, who is the Head of Ugandan Mission in Mogadishu, and officials from the Ministry of Defense and Veteran Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, among others.
