New Vision (Kampala) - September 16, 2002

The UACP northern region co-ordinator, Peter Cwinya-ai, said this during the launch of the second phase of the CHAI project at Lira district chambers.
The money is part of the funds to be released to the groups.
Cwinya said the remaining funds would be released on condition that the beneficiaries accounted for the first reimbursement.
Cwinya urged the executives to ensure that the beneficiaries, (HIV/AIDS) orphans and the widows, benefit from the fund.
He warned of arrests if the groups divert the money for other uses.
The district HIV/AIDS focal person, Patrick Abal, warned that LCs and civil servants were not allowed to join the groups as members but were expected to monitor their works.
Abal told the groups to ensure transparency when using the money.
The secretary for health, Rebecca Otengo, hailed the World Bank for its support to Uganda against the fight of HIV/AIDS. Ends
