Previously, only war veterans who directly participated in the struggle were acknowledged, leaving out others who played supporting roles, such as collaborators, detainees, and untrained recruits.

As we approach the annual budget, our ministry looks forward to receiving funding to complete this process. For these individuals to be officially recognized, we need to finalize the vetting process.

The vetting process must continue, as an estimated 100,000 individuals were excluded during the previous vetting exercise. It is essential to ensure that all eligible veterans are recognized and supported.

This led to the establishment of the War Veterans Act, which expanded recognition to all veterans under the new law. This inclusion is outlined in Chapter 17:12 of the Veterans of the Liberation Struggle Act.

This indicates that a significant number of individuals were omitted from the vetting process. With approximately 99,000 people involved, it's essential to complete this process to ensure they aren't left out.

It is relatively straightforward to verify veterans who received formal training, but for war collaborators and political detainees, it requires collaboration and confirmation from those who served alongside them.
