However, Minister of Gender, Betty Amongi, while in an evening interview revealed that the system rejected 20,000 people.
“The system rejected between 10,000 to 20,000 people, some of them had names that did not match with the identification registered with telecom companies, or where there was repetition and in cases where the person did not have a National Identification Number (NIN).”
Apparently, they are using an advanced system. They are working together with banks and telecommunication companies. Any kind of mismatch in details brings rejection.
“We shall send your name back to the town clerk to process you for payment directly through cash after validating that you are genuine.”
Amongi continued to say that the data considered is that from municipal cities.
“When I say verified data, this is data that has come through municipal cities and has been authenticated as correct in the category we are looking at. This data must have been verified by telecommunications companies as well,” Amongi said.
About 5000 people received their Covid Relief funds yesterday and 150,000 people have so far been verified for the money. People are still receiving this money. It will go on till the end of next week if everything goes as planned. Otherwise, most Ugandans are anxiously waiting for this relief money from the government.
