SECRET PWDs CASH SHOCKER! Gender Ministry Bosses Under Fire for Hiding Shs38bn Grant From Beneficiaries

At the centre of the storm are the Ministry’s top technocrats — Permanent Secretary Aggrey David Kibenge and Commissioner for Disability and Elderly Affairs Prosper Muhumuza

Nakato only discovered the National Special Grant for Persons with Disabilities after fellow PWDs told her about it.

Her question was simple: If billions of shillings are released every year for PWDs, why do so many of the intended beneficiaries not even know the money exists?
