The Ministry of Information Communications Technology and National Guidance is seeking Shs14 Billion to help the media in spreading the awareness on the COVID-19 pandemic.
Even when the media is airing the messages for free as part of their Corporate social responsibility (CSR), the state minister for ICT and National Guidance Peter Ogwang insists that the ministry still needs this money in many ways.
Uganda's confirmed cases stand at 44 with no death. These cases are more likely to increase since the health ministry is still carrying out tests on thousands of people who are under institution quarantine.
