H.E Museveni as Political Manager of our Country Uganda has done his best to show case that COVID-19 is global health threat and needs exigent preventive approach by every citizen. We are very happy over his presidential directives. The onus is unto us to execute them deligently.
Prudent to note, it’s our Patriotic and moral duty as Solid Citizens to disseminate this information to ordinary Citizenry. Suffice to say is that these ordinary and illiterate people are most vulnerable to pandemic as their vulnerability inevitably makes us also vulnerable because the COVID-19 is contagious irrespective of our ideological differences, colour, Creed, sex, tribe and our socio-Economic status. Thus, it’s should be collective responsibility of every Citizen to disseminate this information.
To Country’s Security apparatus; you are engaged with invisible enemy and if not put out of action; is ready to kill you, your family,clan and all your Country Men and Women. Therefore, you have Patriotic and moral duty to stop people from massive gatherings , bars and public entertainment. By that, you are protecting yourself , family and your Country from invisible enemy. It’s time to have Country before Self or never. We expect to see foot patrols closing all bars during night, GISOS sharing information with District security Command structure about recalcitrant behaviour in their communities towards presidential Directives.
To Ugandan Elite; it’s not time to speak whiteman’s English to populace to showcase you are educated. It’s time to be agents of Preventive approach against COVID-19. Let us use our mobile phones to call our country side families and guide them on how best to prevent themselves from COVID-19 and equally being Community role models in preventive approach against pandemic. As elite in your family; do you have washing point in your family, what do you tell your Community about this pandemic?
To our Leaders on District and national level; use all media platforms to make sure your people understand COVID-19 Pandemic and how best to prevent it . you can use radio, TV, print media or even use loud Speakers in your villages, parishes and constituencies to disseminate preventive measures against COVID-19. It’s a ripe time for our leaders to be there for our people… people ‘s mindset Change plays pivotal role to counter attack this invisible enemy {COVID-19}. If our leaders mute them at this critical moment, it means you are a political liability to your people and Country . Leaders ought to be on Frontline to fight this invisible enemy (COVID-19) in their respective communities.
Our media fraternity should be at centre stage to inform people about this pandemic, call in Medical personnel to furnish listeners/audience about COVID-19, how to prevent it, what to eat to improve body immunity. Every media House is supposed to be informative before it’s audience inter alia.Therefore, it’s a cardinal duty for media fraternity to inform the audience about this pandemic
Dear parents; make use of our children in this short holiday to cause Family Health Security by erecting Hand washing points on the entry of our families and making sure whoever comes to our Homes washes his or her hands. You again have parental responsibility to discern your children from unnecessary visits which may make them vulnerable to pandemic.
European & Asian Countries with first class Health system have been hit hard by COVID-19 PANDEMIC, the vulnerability of African countries is high and it’s only our preventive measures’ strategy that can liberate us, thus, our timely interventions can only safeguard us . Our negligence will ferment into status-quo that makes us die like flies by COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Let us be Covid-19 warriors not Covid-19 idiots destined to go to graveyard.
Covid-19 pandemic is real, it kills every one, its an invisible enemy that needs visible preventive measures@ wash your hands, social distance yourself and cause collective community awareness of the Covid-19 pandemic
