By BRUCE SCHREINER and PIPER HUDSPETH BLACKBURN Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Paula and Anthony Hunter spun off their catering service into a restaurant serving Italian food with a 'touch of soul' right before the coronavirus hit. Soon, both Louisville businesses slammed to a halt, and the couple relied on federal relief to help stay afloat. They improvised to keep income flowing in, navigating a maze of food delivery mobile apps and prepping boxed lunches for health care workers toiling long hours at local hospitals. Now, hit with a recent statewide order closing restaurants to indoor dining until mid-December, […]

NEWLY appointed Minister of Labour and Social Security Mike Henry confirmed yesterday that the ministry is reviewing the control system for applicants seeking PATH grants under the COVID-19 Allocation of Resources for Employees (CARE) Programme.
Auditor General Pamela Monroe Ellis, in her second report on the handling of the benefits offered by the Government under the CARE programme, which supports Jamaicans suffering economically from the COVID-19 pandemic, recommended that the ministry takes steps to ensure that only legitimate beneficiaries who have satisfied all the requisite criteria are paid the COVID-19 PATH grants.
The auditor general said that her department conducted a review of the payment of the COVID-19 PATH grant under the system, to determine whether only qualified and legitimate PATH beneficiaries were benefiting from the CARE programme.
“In response to our audit finding, MLSS [Ministry of Labour and Social Security] placed a hold on the payment for the 8,933 beneficiaries and conducted a review to determine the actual eligibility status of each of the additional persons,” it added.
The auditor general said that, in light of the discrepancy with the 776 individuals who were inadvertently included in the May 2020 payment list, the ministry should review its systems to ensure that the controls in place to enforce the eligibility requirements for PATH beneficiaries are operating effectively to reduce the risk of irregular or erroneous payments.

Despite seeming to have softened his stance on the Ush10 billion ($2.6 million) that Ugandan legislators allocated themselves as part of the Covid-19 supplementary budget, President Yoweri Museveni is said to have ordered an audit of the expenditure.
In a letter dated April 28 to the Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga, President Museveni said he instructed the Auditor-General to go over how the funds were used.
In a recent televised address on coronavirus, President Museveni described the Covid-19 cash as a trap that the MPs had laid for themselves and \"morally reprehensible.\"
Despite Speaker Kadaga's efforts to explain that MPs were to use this money to sensitise their constituents about the pandemic and for maintenance of ambulances in their constituencies, President Museveni and the Cabinet insisted the allocation was illegal and inappropriate.
As at April 12, the number of MPs that had returned the money stood at 101 out of a total of 458 legislators.
