Uganda’s vulnerable poor to receive relief package through mobile money

Prime minister Robinah Nabbanja has announced that all poor vulnerable Ugandans affected by Covid19 lockdown measures will receive relief package through Mobile Money transactions.

On June 18, President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni declare a total lockdown to contain the spread of Covid19.

The president also ordered Prime Minister Nabbanja to devise ways of extending relief to the vulnerable urban poor.

On June 20, Nabbanja chaired the National Covid19 Taskforce meeting where the issue of the relief package came up.

“We have also decided that this time round, people most vulnerable and affected by the lock down measures in the next 42 days, who will need support will be identified and given cash vouchers, not physical food,” Prime Minister Nabbanja told reporters after the meeting.

In the 2020 Covid19 lockdown, government offered relief food items to the vulnerable poor families.

But complaints on the quality of maize flour and beans were pronounced.

Meanwhile, government resolved to urgently avail money to increase oxygen production for critically ill Covid19 patients.

“We have agreed that funds be quickly found to boost oxygen production to support Covid 19 and other patients that need it,” added Nabbanja.
