Speaking at the office of the prime minister in Kampala, Nabbanja said that this move is aimed at helping individual groups get help other than in the past where families received help leaving some of them missing.
Nabbanja however appealed to the local government not to miss use the funds and send them to those in need.
The premier however noted that health workers on the frontline battling the virus have not been paid for the past few months but the Government is working upon it.
Commenting on Nabbanja’s remarks, Hon. Mubarak munyagwa the former kawempe legislator said that it is absurd for government not to pay frontline workers.
