Last Month, helpful and youthful Kiggundu promised to donate Shs530m for the purchase of 15000 doses of covid-19 vaccines.
According to Ham, over 5000 dozes are for his employees and tenants and 10000 dozes are for other fellow Ugandans.
“The 530 million shillings towards this justified cause are meant to buy vaccines approximately 15000 dozes. If we had only like 2000 investors to come out for each to buy at least 10000 dozes, we would immunise or vaccinate up-to 20 million Ugandans which would be sufficient to bring the level of corona virus down,” Kiggundu said.
The youthful Tycoon further called upon the business private sector especially city landlords, businessmen, employers, corporate giants and service providers to stand together with Ugandans in this trying Covid-19 era.
Kiggundu further warned that coronavirus disease (Covid-19) does not differentiate between the rich and the poor asserting that it’s high time for every responsible Ugandans to join hands in kicking the pandemic out of the country.
“Covid-19 does not know whether you are rich, covid does not know whether you are poor, everyone can be a victim to covid and it is our corporate responsibility as Ugandans and as a business private sector for who have been benefiting from Ugandans for all this time. They are our clients, our customers, and above all fellow Ugandans. From a reasonable point of view, It is our obligation to come up and purchase these vaccines and make sure a reasonable number of Ugandans are vaccinated,” he added.
Last week, the President of Uganda Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and the prime minister applauded Ham for his kind heart and endless contribution towards the fight against Coronavirus (Covid-19).
According to the Prime Minister, while addressing the press, said Ugandans are yearning for better quality social services where over 3.3 million households are still in subsistance economy thus a need to transform them to a money conomy.
It’s from that background, the Premier applauded Kiggundu for his big heart and endless contribution to The Government towards the fight against Coronavirus.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank a certain young man, Hamis Kiggundu. He has made a big contriburion, I dont know whether you people are aware, he wants to vaccinate all his staff, his technical people, his servants in his companies. He has also made a contributiuon of Ten thousand Vaccines so that we can vaccinate Ugandans. He’s fighting Covid,” the Prime Minister said.
