I welcomed our Muslim brothers and sisters to the Iftar dinner at State House, Entebbe, and I congratulate them upon reaching this important stage of the Ramadan fast. My appreciation goes to the Muslim community and all Ugandans for the massive support to the NRM in the recent elections.

The Ramadan season reminds us of the need to work for justice, unity, and global affluence. Ugandans deserve commendation for rejecting sectarianism and embracing national unity, a principle that has strengthened the NRM since the expansion of the NRC in 1989.

MEETING OF INTERNAL AUDITORS: PSST CALLS FOR REFORMS:
The PSST Dr. @rggoobi has challenged heads of Internal Audit at District Local Governments, Cities and Municipal Councils to make audit reports instruments of change and not archives of failure.

Ggoobi said more than a third of public spending happens at Local governments, adding that if internal audit fails at this level, government also fails to deliver services where citizens live.

“We therefore cannot achieve fiscal discipline, investor confidence, or ten-fold growth if internal audit is weak,” said the PSST during the meeting at the Finance Ministry.

To show that public funds are not properly safeguarded, Ggoobi said pension overpayments exceeding UGX 31 billion has been made to thousands of beneficiaries, in addition to persistent payroll irregularities, ghost-related risks and diversion of funds from approved activities.

He also highlighted procurement failures demonstrated by significant price variations for similar government goods and works as well as repeat findings year after year.

The PSST said there are four structural weaknesses persisting and these are: Compliance auditing instead of risk auditing, weak follow up, skills mismatch as the country goes digital and limited independence.

He said changes must be made immediately to ensure that Auditors audit risk not paper work, follow the money until action happens, use data (IFMS analytics, payroll trend analysis, procurement price comparisons) and also prevent losses.

As a commitment, Ggoobi said Government will strengthen the Office of the Internal Auditor General, train and build IT audit capacity and also improve the status of Heads of Internal Audit.

“Uganda’s ten-fold growth goal requires strong public finance governance,” he said, adding that every wasted shilling increase taxes, debt or service gaps.

Q3 PRESS BRIEFING FY 2025/26:
PSST Dr. @rggoobi says the expenditure limits have been issued at a time when the country is experiencing extended periods of macroeconomic stability evidenced through a fast-growing economy, stable prices and the exchange rate.

He noted that this impressive state of the economy is unlike previous election years that were largely characterised by inflation and a volatile exchange rate.

"This achievement is not by chance but rather, on account of prudent economic management, attained through close coordination between monetary and fiscal policies," says Dr.Ggoobi.

The PSST says this Quarter three expenditure limits have been informed by the fiscal consolidation agenda that prioritises implementation of Government’s objective of sustaining macroeconomic stability and maintaining fiscal discipline.
