Relatives of people who were killed during the April walk to work protest are demanding compensation from government.

The people who were this evening meeting the Security minister Muruli Mukasa says the children and family members who were depending on those who died are helpless because they dont have any source of income.

One of relatives Augustine Kabanda says they need to meet the president so that he fulfills the promise he made after the riots that the victims will be compensated.

Kabanda says  that they want government to take care of the widows and facilitates the education of the children who were orphaned.

They also alleged that the opposition leaders  have been calling  requesting them to take them to places where the victims were buried.

The minister promised to organize for them a meeting with President  Museveni but cautioned them not to be confused by the opposition requests.

Muluri Mukasa has also promised the nation that security agencies will be restrained from using excessive force in case of any riot to stop further deaths.

One of the relatives blamed the organizers of the protests, but also blamed the government security agencies for using excessive force that led to the death of their relatives.
