The Prime Minister, Dr Ruhakana Rugunda revealed earlier today morning, that President Museveni has appointed Minister for General Duties (in the Prime Minister’s Office) Hon. Mary Karoro Okurut as the Fund Overseer for all income donated to help in countering the novel coronavirus.

Dr Rugunda, who is the leader of the National COVID-19 Taskforce, revealed that President Museveni would handle the launch of the Fund himself.

A number of people have bee asking in regard to where they can channel the resources they want to contribute. We want to have clarity in government as to how this is going to be done.” The Prime Minister said.

Dr Rugunda noted that the effort is to ensure that the Minister of Health Dr Jane Ruth Aceng and her team get enough time to handle field supervision as it is the toughest and most professional part of countering the virus.
