Uganda’s national budget for the Financial Year 2025/26, presented at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds, has once again fallen short of key continental commitments to prioritize critical sectors such as health, education, and agriculture. Despite pledges under frameworks like the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), the Abuja Declaration, and the Dakar and Maputo commitments—which call for allocating at least 10% to agriculture, 15% to health, and 20% to education and agriculture combined—the country’s allocations remain below these benchmarks. The shortfall has raised renewed concerns over Uganda’s ability to meet its development goals and improve the well-being of its population. https://bit.ly/3SPg0Wt

The 2025/2026 budget lands at a politically sensitive time, the final year of the current government, with general elections due in January 2026. The ruling National Resistance Movement appears to be racing to deliver on past campaign promises, but economists warn this could come at a cost. https://bit.ly/4jRqWOt

President Museveni has stated that the digital number plates were introduced in the country to address security issues, not as a means to collect road fines. He believes there may have been a misunderstanding on this matter. Museveni's comments follow a controversial decision by his government to impose strict penalties on road traffic offenders, leading to public outcry and prompting the Ministry of Works and Transport to pause the implementation of the new system. Museveni made these remarks during a speech to leaders who had assembled to hear the budget presentation for the 2025/2026 fiscal year. https://bit.ly/3ZqxiNp

Road safety activists are calling for the government to review the penalty fees, taking into consideration the high levels of poverty in the country, in order to ensure that people are able to maintain their jobs. https://bit.ly/4kHagug
