Mantra Motorbike EA has contributed 10 motorcycles worth sh80m toward COVID-19 response efforts in Uganda.
The donation was made to the Ministry of Health in support of ongoing measures to accelerate efforts in stopping the spread of the virus. The bikes are intended to ease the movement of Covid-19 Task Force health workers during this period.
The motorcycles were received by the Minister of Health, Dr Jane Ruth Aceng.
"The Government and Ministry of Health are doing an exceptional job of leading and managing this global crisis. We are joining in their efforts with this donation to allow fast-moving response efforts.
"I commend contributions from the private sector during this extraordinary situation and hope many more companies and individuals will join in this fight," said Mohamad Khadr, the country general manager of Mantra Motorbike EA Ltd & MAC East Africa.
"We have selected the Dawn 100CC and Hunter 125CC due to their efficiency in fuel consumption, durability, strength, and power," Khadr added.
Khadr urged the community to stand together with the Government in fighting against Covid-19.
