“The humble contribution is to ease the transportation of the Covid Task Force teams, distribution of vaccines, contact tracing, and other related activities,” said Flora Aduk, Communication Manager NBL.

“We as the private sector have a big role to support government efforts in the fight against Covid 19 pandemic as it has posed both health and economic challenges to our communities. A time like this calls for combined efforts,” she added. Collectively the fuel donation has cost the company Shs19 million.

“I must say that this is a commendable act of corporate social responsibility , its worth celebrating. We expect many to join this kind of gesture and we want to promise you that with this this fuel, the taskforce feels empowered. We are going to ensure that the various teams, that are tracing the Covid-19 suspects, the teams that are going to sensitize the public, the security teams that are enforcing the directives will benefit from this fuel,” said Mr Hussein, who is also the head of the KCCA Covid-19 taskforce.

On his part, Mr Mugalia, who represented the KCCA Executive Director said, “On behalf of the KCCA Covid-19 taskforce , I would like to extend our gratitude to Nile Breweries for the timely support they are giving to the taskforce. We are humbled by your gesture and we continue to appreciate them. Last year they did the similar thing and this year again they have come to support KCCA. We say thank you very much Nile Breweries and we are looking forward for more support.”
