Quote We have been affected by Covid-19 but the issue of street children is something that started long ago, it is not something that started now .This phenomenon started when there was war and that is when children started staying on the streets. We had budgeted for Shs 3.4 billion but we got less than that. The money was not released at once .Some money was released and I think it was less than Shs 1 billion to resettle some of the children on the streets. Covid-19 has also created a very big problem for the parents and at times, they are losing hope but I am encouraging them that they should not lose hope and we believe with time we shall clean up our streets.
