When the Media arefrontline actors.

[Peter G. Mwesige @pmwesige]

#Media, please don’t give the President a free pass on his #Covid19UG #M7address. Don’t simply repeat what he says. Provide context. Unmask his claims. What doesn't make sense? Where are the gaps? If he sounds incoherent or gives a confusing & long-winded speech, call him out.

The mix

[Jacqueline Asiimwe @asiimwe4justice]

A minister appeared before budget committee with a supplementary of UGX 16,000,000,000 out that, UGX 1,900,000,000 was for paying electricity bills for 2 private companies, among which is Nytil. And now they are the only ones to supply face masks......

Though #COVID19KE is a concern, what are we doing about #immunization and other health concerns? We should be talking about improving the health system - @JKmuraguri @OxfaminUganda @CSBAGUGANDA @ntvuganda #UGBUDGET20 #EABudget20

Good health care systems should have been in place even before #Covid19. The rushed budgets we are making now will haunt us if done poorly.

COVID 19 created new vulnerabilities to already vulnerable people. These should be properly analysed.

[Magara Siragi Luyima @smagara4]

The vulnerable groups should also be catered for using appropriate interventions says Julius Kapwepwe chair EABN. @CSBAGUGANDA @UgWils @rubapatrick @OxfaminUganda @unwomenuganda @ImamuMugisha #EACBudget20 #UGBUDGET20

[Dr. Bireete Sarah @SarahBireete]

National Response Fund for COVID19 wrote to PM @RuhakanaR requesting for employee 10k contributions for COVID19: given that donors have contributed 8.84trillion for COVID19, isn’t the TAX PAYER more burdened with heavy debt payment?Can we first utilize & account for 8.84trillion?

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

As gov't demands 10k from struggling Ugandans ostensibly to fight #COVID, they're dishing out 40m to MPs who voted to amend age limit! As they blocked Ugandans from returning home, those close to power continued to come in. It becomes clearer why our struggle is MORAL & URGENT

[Sophie Kyagulanyi @Kygsph]

Thanks for this. The social protection measures we look forward to should shield us in the short & long term with clarity on how those in dire need will benefit in real time. This will limit abuse of basic rights

[CSBAG (csbag.org) @CSBAGUGANDA]

On the on-going food distribution, @Kygsph says :What we needed to do was to study about the situation and come up with strategic measures. I am however, looking at it as how @GovUganda can use this to come up with solid protection measures for the population.#UGBUDGET20

[NTV UGANDA @ntvuganda]

Let us ask, how many intensive care units do we have now as an investment so that even when COVID-19 is gone, we can still use them? - Julius Kapwepwe, Chairman for East African Budget Network (EABN) #UGBUDGET20 | https://t.co/DrRiJNCUgG

"It would be uncool for the Government to go on and pass a budget which was drafted last year before the COVID 19 issues," says @OxfaminUganda's @Kygsph. @mofpedU @BOU_Official @ntvuganda #UGBUDGET20

[Uncle D. @DannyT_UG]

There's been an increase in #GBV in the last 60 days of lockdown in Uganda. Women, who are mainly employed in the least sectors of the economy have no allocations for them in the crisis decisions and no policies in place to help then post-COVID19 #UGBUDGET20 #EACbudgets20

"We have never had enough allocated to @MinofHealthUG to address maternal health issues in the #UGBUDGET20 and #COVID19 has worsened this as regards #GenderBudgeting
