About a year ago, one tablet of Hydroxychloroquine in UG shot up to 6000 Shs because people emptied all the pharmacies and stocked it up presumably to treat COVID19 (IF they got it). The price later decreased to 5000, then 3000.......

*1 USD = ~ 3600 UG Shs

#StaySafeUG
Meanwhile they are people who need Hydroxychloroquine to treat chronic joint conditions. For many of these, the drug became out of reach, so for months they were suffering with severe joint pains

#StafSafeUG
As we speak, the price is now UG Shs 130!!! That's 46 times cheaper than at the peak of the scramble. Imagine what people with chronic joint were going through.
In spite of a brutal second wave, the drug seems to have flown under the radar.

One day, I hope we will talk about COVID19 and schools; about the do or die attitude around school attendance, where parents, teachers and school heads are willing to risk their lives & the lives of students as long as they don't miss a few days of classes.
#CovidIsReal
Case in point:
My 11 y.o and 2 y.o started in person classes on May 11. A little over a week later, they both came home with cough, runny nose & fever. I decided they would skip school the next day (Friday) and possibly Monday the week after (with the weekend)
#CovidIsReal
On Monday Teacher #1 called me:
Teacher: Why didnโ€™t D come to school?
Me: She has a cough and cold
Teacher: Is she seriously sick?
Me: No, but I am being cautious in case itโ€™s COVID
Teacher: Laughs incredulously: COVID??? Where did she get it from?

Hon Medard Ssegona on #COVID19 money for MPs: Speaker Kadaga is my boss, I cannot contradict her. I have returned the money because I didn't know what to do with it.

#NBSUpdates #StaySafeUg
Hon. Ssegona: I rejected the money because I cannot account to the Chief Administrative Officer who is a subordinate. I'm only supposed to receive my salary which is my money. Let's stick to our work which is legislating. #NBSUpdates #StaySafeUg
Hon Medard Ssegona: This is an attack on the Speaker of Parliament. We could have fallen short, but it doesn't justify calling us thieves. We know that people have stolen more money that is not even allocated to them.
