The government of Uganda has started the distribution of food and essential items to the most vulnerable people across Kampala and Wakiso.
This will be a measure to attenuate the impact caused by the Coronavirus that has limited economic activities. Each household will be given 6kgs of maize flour (posho) and 3kgs of beans whereas lactating mothers and the sick will receive powdered milk and 2kgs of sugar each, reports Independent.
The Prime Minister, Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda pointed out that the distribution of food will be done at the Local Council one level to easily identify vulnerable persons who are supposed to receive relief food from the government.
The food will be delivered to homes of ‘vulnerable’ persons by Police and Soldiers. This is a good move as it indirectly addresses mobility challenges persons with disabilities face.
