Government will today start registering the 16 identified vulnerable groups eligible to receive shs 100,000 covid19 relief cash whose disbursement is expected to start in two weeks.
Their registration will be carried out by Uganda National Bureau of Statistics and town clerks while local council one chairpersons will superintend the exercise.
The Gender and Social development minister Betty Amongi has since revealed that her ministry will guide cities and municipalities on the number of persons to be selected.
She says once UBOS and town clerks have finalized compiling the data of those who qualify to get the money, their names will be displayed in various villages to ensure that people who fall in those categories do not miss out.
The final list is expected to be ready by July 4th to as cash is expected to be disbursed on July 6th.
Individuals eligible to get the cash but whose national Ids and sim card registration details vary will receive pay through post Bank vans.
The beneficiaries include bus, taxi drivers, conductors, baggage carriers, wheelbarrow pushers, traffic guides, barmaids, DJs, waiters and bouncers.
Others are bar and gym workers, food vendors, commercial cyclists commonly known as bodabodas, salon and massage parlour workers, teachers that are not on the government payroll, shoe shiners and orphans in child-headed homes.
