30 Village Health Teams(VHTs) and LCs in Bungati Sub County, Namisindwa District today stormed the Sub County offices protesting the delayed payment of their allowances.

 


Each VHT was entitled to 60,000 shillings while chairpersons were meant to get 40,000 shillings. This money was meant to be paid as allowance for work done during the measles and polio immunization exercise last year.

 

Nandelege Yokana the LC1 chairman for Woshibi village says they want their money paid since they carried out their work diligently.

 

Aidah Bulali a VHT says that there was no explanation on when their money would be cleared. Bulali this made them storm the Sub County headquarters for an explanation.

 

Stephen Wokooli the Bungati Sub County Chairperson advised the VHTs and LCs to channel their grievances to the Namisindwa District authorities.

 

Bwayo Emma the Namisindwa District Youth Councillor says that during the last council meeting held in December last year, they tasked health department to handle the payment of allowances for the VHTs and LCs. Bwayo is surprised that the issue has not been sorted.

 

Dr Masai Stephen the Namisindwa District Health Officer says the accounts were update today and payment will be done next week.
