MPs on the Parliamentary Covid-19 taskforce
have faulted the ministry of Health for hiring private laboratories to test passengers arriving at Entebbe international airport.
On Saturday, the MPs visited the airport and met officials from the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA). In May, a Covid-19 testing centre for travellers from ten countries including India, Kenya, USA was set up Peniel Beach hotel, which is about one kilometre from the airport.
The ministry also said that the tests are being done by three private laboratories, Safari Laboratory, Test and Fly and Case hospital. However, MPs say the ministry has not put in place quality checks at the testing centre.
