"Chairman, a country without reserves is not sovereign. The potential of this Bill to destabilize Uganda’s balance of payments is our primary concern as a central bank. For example, last financial year the overall balance of payment surplus was USD 1.5 billion. That’s how we were able to increase our reserve coverage by USD 1.5 billion. Today as we speak our reserves are close to USD 6 billion. Why? Because these inflows have been coming in. The moment you tamper with these inflows here, we risk running down our reserves, and that is economic disaster for a country.” Governor Atingi-Ego on the Protection of Sovereignty Bill 2026 in an appearance before Parliament today.

[Parliament of Uganda @Parliament_Ug]

For Bank of Uganda (@BOU_Official), the Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026 could risk weakening Uganda's economy, currency and financial independence.

BOU Governor Michael Atingi Ego, who appeared before the Joint Committee on Defence and Internal Affairs and Legal and Parliamentary Affairs said that the Bill, in its current state, would restrict cross-border inflows, such as foreign investment, remittances and portfolio capital.

“A country without reserves is not sovereign,” Atingi said, adding the country would experience a substantial depreciation of the currency if inflows fall, resulting in an economic disaster.

He said the bill also risks creating parallel oversight that could undermine the constitutional independence of the central bank. #11thParliamentEnds

1.2 TRILLION SHILLING FLAGGED BY AUDITOR GENERAL IN FY 2024/25 AS WASTEFUL AND IRREGULAR EXPENDITURE BY MINISTRY OF WORKS AND TRANSPORT

Simply ❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌Unacceptable

❗️UGX 27.660Bn in interest charges due to delayed settlement of Interim Payment Certificates (IPCs).

❗️UGX 291.120Bn diverted from planned activities to settle arrears, undermining project execution.

❗️UGX 16.794Bn in non performing Letters of Credit (LCs).

❗️UGX 102.486Bn worth of procurements delayed beyond PPDA timelines.

❗️UGX 22.089Bn cost escalation on the Kira–Matugga Road project (up to 663% for some items), adding UGX 18.72Bn strain on resources.

❗️UGX 15.79Bn contract awarded through direct procurement, contrary to PPDA rules.

❗️UGX 2.367Bn worth of land for 114 PAPs uncompensated, risking disputes.

❗️UGX 2Bn call off order for road maintenance issued without funding commitment; UGX 1.842Bn unpaid.

❗️UGX 330.811Bn worth of activities partially or unimplemented (out of UGX 415.024Bn assessed).

❗️UGX 53.68Bn supplementary funding utilized without Ministerial approval.

❗️UGX 236Bn worth of projects inspected with defects (poor gravel compaction, drainage failures, impassable sections).

UGX 63.912Bn tied to delayed completion of 22 road projects.

❗️UGX 48.677Bn gap in land acquisition budget (only UGX 276.226Bn utilized of UGX 324.903Bn).

❗️UGX 143.21Bn totally unfunded outputs and UGX 198.024Bn partially funded outputs.

MoWT bleeds money through arrears, inflated contracts, and defective works.

Force Account bleeds money through idle equipment, ghost workers, and inflated inputs (Force Account is estimated to have 1,200 Staff, may be some are ghosts).

Together, they show that Uganda’s road sector including Road Safety Management is not suffering from “lack of funds” but from systemic mismanagement across both contractor and government execution models. How did all this bypass PAC @Parliament_Ug

UGX 46.7 BILLION flagged as Wasteful & Inefficient Expenditure in ONE Financial Year (2024/25) by the Auditor General

This is your money. Our money. PAYE Money

❓ UGX 5.096Bn paid to UMEME (2.096Bn) & NWSC (3Bn) without any invoices or supporting documents.

❓ UGX 2.465Bn paid in advance for works that were never done — even after securities expired.

❓ UGX 1.391Bn deducted from civil servants’ salaries but never remitted to intended beneficiaries.

❓ UGX 15.414Bn of warranted funds for salaries, pensions & ICT left unutilized.

❓ UGX 22Bn+ planned for key activities only partially implemented.

❓ UGX 1.35Bn tied to projects delayed by months on average.

Total? Nearly 50 Billion shillings down the drain.

The real unadjusted figure was probably closer to 150 Billion before “negotiations.”

Still ZERO accountability. No one is held responsible.
This money could have fixed, equipped hospitals, or paid nurses properly. Instead, it vanished.

@KuleRonaldMbing @NIRA_Ug The CF86 indicates, the initial year entered was 1986 and was later changed to 1996(I believe). Even with a NIRA error in DOB, system creates the first 2 numerals from the year initially input. PS: NIN cant be changed & is permanent.

Branding is perception control, not decoration. Without real art direction, even polished AI visuals feel generic & inconsistent, quietly eroding trust. Efficiency means nothing if it weakens perception. Brands don’t fail from one weak asset but from repeated quality compromises.

If you want to see how deep Uganda has sunk, walk into the First Pharmacy outlet just outside Mulago National Referral Hospital. And if you want to see more, continue to Friecca Pharmacy in Wandegeya.

The two places are crowded like a market, filled with desperate Ugandans who have nowhere else to turn.

Abandoned by a broken system, they are forced to queue for hours, clutching crumpled notes for overpriced drugs that should be free, while the system meant to serve them rot in negligence and greed.

Uganda deserves better.

Botswana’s President, Duma Gideon Boko, has declined an invitation from United States President Trump to visit the White House.

According to the words of Botswana President Boko:

“If there is any business or official engagement to discuss, it should take place in Botswana, not abroad.
Botswana is tired of traveling abroad for deals that concern its own resources.

If there is genuine interest in our resources, come to Botswana so we can talk business.

Let us respect the basic principle of commerce: buyers should go to the sellers. If the situation is reversed, then the buyer’s interest is not truly valuable.”
