Kitgum District was allocated 407 million Shillings in July to facilitate the work of the taskforce and implement interventions for the control of Covid-19. The funding would cover expenses on case management, surveillance, communication and risk, among others.
Alice Tuhiriirwe, a VHT from Kicwamba village in Katerera, says that they were promised Shillings 150,000 but they sent them Shillings 50,000 without any explanation.
