President Museveni has offered part of his salary every month to COVID-19 fund to bolster efforts against the deadly virus.
Museveni made the revelation Tuesday night and asked other public servants to follow his example voluntarily.
He was asked by a viewer why public servants in Uganda are yet to take pay cuts and support the National Task Force.
In response, Museveni said though he is one of those public servants earning little money which he would donate to the cause.
Museveni who earns Shs3.6m monthly said he would donate Shs1.4m to the national taskforce.
“They pay me Shs3.6m. NRM takes 20% of it. I am now going to tell Mama Janet to sign for Shs1.4m and the balance of Shs1.3m goes to the COVID-19 fund,” Museveni said.
He said of this salary, the ruling NRM party takes 20% while the rest goes to his wife Janet Museveni.
The president said he will ask his wife to be sending half of what remains to the fund.
