Ugandan Parliament endorses more Shs50b Covid funds for State House

 


What you need to know:

  • President Museveni November 10 defended Dr Musenero saying ''she is decorated scientist" that should be spared attacked. 

Parliament has endorsed a State House request for an additional Shs50billion for development of a locally manufactured Covid-19 vaccine through the Presidential Scientific Initiative on Epidemics (PRESIDE).

 

Early this month, Ntungamo Municipality legislator Mr Yona Musinguzi alleged that the minister of Science and Technology, Dr Monica Musenero, misused over Shs31billion intended for the same cause and the matter is under a five-member parliament select committee probe.

 

The committee instituted last week by Parliament Deputy Speaker Anita Among is expected to furnish the House with a report after two weeks.
