Uganda’s Deputy Speaker Anita Kampala has announced that unvaccinated Members of Parliament will be denied access to the country’s parliament building.
Kampala said the move was to demonstrate a good example in support of the government’s public health policy.
According to reports Uganda’s parliament becomes the third state institution to ban non-vaccinated people following similar moves by the Ministry of Health and the government-run National Medical Stores.
President Yoweri Museveni said many Ugandans were hesitant to get the jab but expressed hope that some 12 million residents would be vaccinated by the end of December.
