As well-wishers and corporate companies have continued to heed to President Yoweri Museveni’s call to donate to the COVID-19 response team, Museveni has himself committed half of his salary to the COVID-19 Fund.
While answering a question of why public servants in Uganda are yet to take pay cuts and support the National Task Force, Museveni said though he’s one of those public servants earning little money, he accepts to take lead in donating t the COVID-19 fund.
“They pay me Shs3.6 million; NRM takes 20% of it. I am now going to tell Mama Janet to sign for Shs1.4 million and the balance of Shs1.3m goes to the COVID-19 fund,” Museveni said.
Museveni smilingly further urged public servants to heed to the request by the public.
