In the wake of the Ebola scare that has hit the country, president office together with parliament have also joined several government departments to step up health security measures to avoid further spread of this disease.
At president’s office, all workers especially security officers have been given protective gear like gloves which they use to while searching people who come to this office.
The same office has mounted two points where everyone who wants to cross to this office has to first wash his or her hands before accessing the gate.
At parliament, the same measures have been introduced with cops also given gloves to check all visitors before accessing parliament premises.
Parliament last week issued a directive suspending all would be trips to parliament by groups of people a development which has affected even those who wanted to petition parliament on specific issues.
The directive was made by the public relations manager at parliament Mrs. Helen Kawesa.
Elsewhere MPs have also stopped greeting themselves by shaking hands with a fear that they might also get Ebola through shaking hands. http://www.ugandapicks.com/2012/08/presidents-office-on-alert-following-ebola-outbreak-87470.html
