President Yoweri Museveni, has blasted United States of America for giving NGO money to fight Ebola instated of channeling that money through the government.
The US Ambassador to Uganda Natalie E. Brown has defended her country's decision to circumvent the government and instead provide funding directly to agencies to fight the current Ebola Virus Disease epidemic.
Natalie says the US has already extended $22.3 million (about Shs 83 billion) to Uganda since the outbreak of the viral hemorrhagic fever was declared on September 20, 2022. Of this money, $5.5 million was allocated to Baylor Uganda to fund contact tracing, alert management, and training laboratory staff on infection prevention and control.
According to Dr. Ruth Acheng, Ebola money would be better utilized by the government instead of through NGOs.
