In Masindi—-

A 90 year old woman in Kihande Cell in Central Division Masindi Municipality has been denied a chance to  register for the covid 19 relief fund.

Rt. Hon. Robinah Nabbanja the Uganda Premier says the categories of people to benefit from the relief fund will receive their money this week.

However, Anamaria Nyanjura alleges that the area chairperson has refused to register her for the relief fund because her national ID reads Wakiso district.

Nyanjura explains that though she was registered in Wakiso she is currently a resident of Kihande Cell Masindi municipality.

Masindi Resident District Commissioner Rose Kirabira has directed the Masindi Municipality Town Clerk to include Nyanjura on the list of vulnerable people to receive the money.

Kirabira explains that though Anamaria’s national Identification card reads Wakiso district, she deserves to benefit from the relief fund since she is a Ugandan and vulnerable.
