{UAH} “1ST FAMILY” INCOVID19 BONANZA:

By Dr. Kizza Besigye

 "1ST FAMILY" IN COVID19 BONANZA:

The COVID19 bonanza by Uganda's NRM/M7 Junta "royals" is as brazen as it's repugnant.

The numerous "urgent procurements" for Covid19 response didn't follow any procurement procedures.

Though "very urgently" done, many of the procured items haven't been delivered after several months!

Among the bonanza beneficiaries are Mrs Charlotte Keinerugaba (wife to Gen Muhoozi Keinerugaba) and her sister Mrs Ishta Muganga; both ladies being the daughters of Hon Sam Kutesa, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Their company, Silverbacks Pharmacy LTD, was contracted to supply and instal oxygen plants for Mulago and Entebbe Hospitals at a cost of Shs 6.4 billion.

100% of their invoice was paid by 30th June 2020, but by September, work hadn't commenced, according to Covid19 Interventions Report of October 2020.

The Covid19 Interventions Report recommends a forensic audit by the Auditor General and a procurement audit by the PPDA. We all know how all these end up!!

The Monitor Newspapper story of 30Nov2020, by Daniel Kalinaki, headed "How lack of oxygen, poor health sector is killing COVID-19 patients in Uganda" touches on the tip of the Ministry of Health mega scandals that will unfold over time.

Dr Diana Atwiine, the Permanent Secretary (PS) of the Ministry of Health grew up in State House and was educated on State House Scholarship.

Before becoming the Health PS, Dr Diana Atwiine was the Director of State House Medicine and Health Service Delivery Monitoring Unit!

As the NRM/M7 Junta "royals" revel in the Covid19 bonanza, Ugandans face a terrible health and economic crisis; school children and students under lockdown since March 2020 have uncertain future; most teachers haven't been paid since lockdown; small businesses have been decimated......

That's why....
