The Covid19 crisis might create demand for food, President Yoweri Museveni has alerted legislators after they predicted doom.
Legislator after legislator stood up to speak mid this week at Kampala Serena Hotel and they painted a dark picture of the economy after the ongoing corona-virus crisis biting the entire globe.
While addressing the nation on measures he put in place to control the corona-virus from spread, President Museveni blasted: “I was watching Parliament and I do not agree with the line of too much pessimism. I hear the economy is going to suffer. This crisis might create more demand for food. Tourism will suffer, but the cows will continue producing.”
He recalled: “We should not mix our old problems with this that is new. You can’t bring the long-standing problem of poverty which is not an emergency and has been around for a very long time. If you mix issues up, you are going to make us fail.
Museveni hailed: “We lack money but we still have food. We have too much milk, we have nowhere to sell it. Town dwellers who earn hand to mouth are those we are going to help but for a limited period.”
