July 8, 2021 President Museveni
President Museveni has directed the Health and Education ministries to use the army construction brigade to undertake government dvelopment projects.
In his July 1, 2021 letter addressed to the minister of Education and Sports Janet Museveni and minister of Health Jane Ruth Aceng, Museveni notes with concern that many government projects are taking too long to be completed due to the lengthy procurement process and other challenges like corruption by some unscrupulous government workers.
“I am very certain we can avoid all these delays in implementing government construction projects by utilizing the army construction brigade to undertake the works,” Museveni stressed.

This comes a few days after President Museveni directed all schools across the country to close, as one of the measures to minimise the spread of covid-19 among learners, teachers and parents.
According to the ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Alex Kakooza, they will start with Primary Four and Five learners today as the timetables for the rest of the learners are yet to be formulated.
Kakooza says parents and guardians are therefore requested to support learners with radio sets and to also allow them time to tune in to the various radio stations in order to attend the lessons.
According to the schedule, learners will be taken through Social Studies (SST), Mathematics, Science and Islamic Religious Education (IRE) for the next four weeks with each subject set to last 25 minutes on a separate day.
