Kampala central member of parliament Muhammad Nsereko has challenged President Yoweri Kaguta after he ordered the closure of schools and suspended religious gatherings across the country in attempt to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Although there has not been any confirmed case of coronavirus as today, Mr Museveni said all primary and secondary schools, university and other institutions of learning would be closed starting Friday, March 20, 2020 for one month.
“It is wise that we temporary remove these concentration points to prevent the spread of coronavirus. All these institutions, without exception should close so that we deny this virus high concentration. We don’t want the virus to find dry grass ready for ignition,” Mr Museveni said.
According to Mr Museveni, religious gatherings would also be suspended for one month with immediate effect.
“In the interest of our health, this should be suspended for a month with immediate effect,” he said.

With all these new  measures put in place by government, lawmaker Hon. Nsereko has told President Museveni that such bans will affect Ugandans economically because majority of them depend on casual earnings and don’t have savings to help them sail through set up 32 days of health surveillance.

Public rallies and cultural meetings have also been suspended for 32 days.

Hon Muhammad Nsereko responds to president Museveni by asking him the following

Dear comrades,
