Former presidential candidate of Forum for Democratic Change(FDC) strongman, Dr.Kizza Besigye has scoffed at government for the shs100,000 allocated as Covid comfort cash to Ugandans.
Government on Tuesday announced that it had diagnosed a total of 501,107 households to each get hold of shs100,000 as covid remedy.
The Minister for Gender, Betty Amongi stated the shs100,000 will assist households cater for the acquisition of 20kg of posho at shs40,000, 10kg of beans for shs25000, a bar of cleaning soap at shs3000, a 3-liter -jerrican of cooking oil for shs 12000 and the last shs20,000 to be used for different items at domestic.
However, addressing journalists on Wednesday said the shs100,000 is just too little to cater for a own family for a period of 42 days.
'How can you budget 20kg of posho for a family for 42 days. How can that work? Even that posho can’t address the desires of kids,”Besigye said.
Why is it that nobody is speaking approximately families’ lease? Nobody is speaking about the manner the food might be cooked. We must have a higher plan.”
We demand the money be elevated to a reasonable sum to assist a family to live on. The money is there. They can reallocate monies from sectors which aren't so essential,”Lukwago said.
Whereas the Ministry of Gender indexed sixteen categories of humans and that beneficiaries might be recognized by using town clerks and the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) , Lukwago laughed it off pronouncing it is a shaggy dog story.
He insisted that the place leaders must were consulted for correct implementation because they understand all the individuals who are in need of this alleviation.
“The list of beneficiaries isn't exhaustive. We marvel how the Ministry of Gender got here up with that list. The ministry is detached from the neighborhood leadership. None of the leaders are involved. UBOS doesn’t have sufficient manpower to generate a list of beneficiaries,”Lukwago said.
The date of July, 6, 2021 as a graduation date isn't honest because by means of then, it will likely be two weeks since the lockdown became imposed. It is a complete gamble and we explicit our worries.”
However, according to the FDC strongman, it's miles excessive time Ugandans came together to assist every other in these challenging instances.
He said that individuals who can manage to pay for have to assist the susceptible with some of the gadgets they've in excess.
According to dr Besigye he suggests that the sum of money given to the citizens whom termed as assailable ones is not enough at all hence they have rent, food , essential bills , and all kinds of facilitations he stated though the government has not taken his advise as serious as it is!.
He is to address the nation soon about how to safe guard from covid 19 and how to live with it while working normally in presence of the pandemic in order to earn a living .
Its heard that the newly appointed prime minister said that she will pay a visit to dr Besigye's home in Kasangati to talk more about covid issues.
At a personal level, attempt to help your neighbor to the quantity feasible. We ought to innovate as non-public people to collect what we don’t want right now so we are able to deliver it to others to also live on. We can accumulate items and shop others as we did to sufferers of mudslides and floods in Kasese,” Besigye stated.
But the government is proceeding with the help of 100,000 shs to assailable ones the government is saying that that's its capacity at this time said by the RT Hon Nabbanja Robinah the new prime minister.
