It would be “dangerous” and “madness” to hold elections in the middle of Covid-19 pandemic, President Museveni said in an interview that Nile Broadcasting Services (NBS) Television aired on May 11, 2020.
At the time, Uganda had registered only about 120 coronavirus infections and no death. The country was under lockdown imposed to prevent spread of the disease and buy time to prepare to handle a possible worse Covid-19 scenario.
In addition, at least Shs2.2 trillion – from the national budget, domestic and foreign donations and loan from the International Monetary Fund - was appropriated to different government agencies to respond to the emergency and build capacity, according to the Finance ministry’s October Covid-19 intervention audit report.
