Zaramba told MPs yesterday the assistance is through the Presidential Malaria Initiative.

Dr. J. B Rwakimari, the Programme Manager, National Malaria Control Programme, told Saturday Vision the United States Agency has given Uganda $1m for DDT for Oyam and Apac. Indoor residual spraying is going on in the two districts but will spread to other districts. MPs were informed that Bundibugyo district had rejected indoor spraying because of fears that it will affect their organic cocoa, which they keep in their houses.

Kinkikizi East MP, Dr. Chris Baryomunsi said the European Union had assured Uganda that its products would be accepted.
