Following the Prime Minister, Robinah Nabbanja’s recent announcement that government will this time use mobile money to deliver cash to vulnerable people who are affected by the second Covid-19 lockdown, instead of distributing food.


The Minister for Gender, Betty Amongi has today listed the groups of people who are going to benefit from the Covid relief fund.
“Cabinet identified the following categories of vulnerable persons who depend on daily earning and whose lives will be severely affected as a result of the current 42-day lockdown,”Amongi said.


Amongi named the bus and taxi drivers plus conductors; baggage carriers, wheelbarrow pushers, traffic guides and loaders in tax and bus parks, stages and other areas like Kikuubo.
