In April 2026,Parliament passed an additional Ugx 5,636,000,000 to cover MPs' medical insurance&treatment abroad.
Parliament already had Ugx 12,195,800,000 allocated to medical expenses for MPs.

~ Ugx 17,831,800,000 in total

But we can't pay medical interns!

June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month.

Today or this week, call a man in your life and ask:
"How are you really doing?"

Listen without judgement. Men need support too.

Being comfortable spending billions on cars, on donations, on entertainment, treatment abroad, etc but not just about 20 Billion on a group of people that caters for over 50% of the medical needs of 45 million Ugandans is another proof that we are on our own. That they don’t give a **** whether we live or die. That we pay taxes to cater for their insatiable extravagant desires and lifestyle but not for the government to provide even the basic services! #PayMedicalInterns

Health workers, not every Ebola patient presents with bleeding.

Think Ebola. Isolate. Report immediately.

We are poor country that can't afford to pay a whole 2000 interns the very huge sum of $3200 per year (each).
We are also a poor country that has enough money to spend on all sorts of useless things.
We are also a poor country in common sense

If you are a medical intern reading this from a hospital corridor, with a total net worth of 3,000 shillings, one missed meal behind you, and another night call waiting for you like a stubborn creditor, please sit down for a moment.

We need to talk about the strange economics of this country.

[JB @JBKizehe]

Is this hard to understand? “Government has no money.” It is that simple. 😂😂😂😂

[Being Pesh @PeshK319]

Our government’s priorities are far from the interests and benefits of its citizens.

Many Ugandans are languishing in failing healthcare. Millions are still a medical bill away from abject poverty and debt.

Hospitals are extremely understaffed, and projects have the doctor-patient ratio at 1:10,000 by 2036 if things stay the same.

Most NRHs lack not just staff but also basic equipment for critical care and drugs, yet NMS disposes tonnes of expired drugs every time. Who is failing who?

Bribery to access free medical services in national hospitals is still at an all-time high.

The Ministry of Health budget was cut by over 340b.

Now they're scrapping the payments for medical interns.

They've debated the National Health Insurance Scheme for years and done nothing about passing it, but bribes and agency are available to rush the passing of oppressive legislation such as the Sovereignty Bill.

And all these challenges go back not just to the party in power but the people we elect who will sell us off for a few silver pieces every single time. Our legislators who ought to represent the views and concerns of their constituents are simply yes-men for the highest bidder.

Like leeches, they enjoy tax-free salaries, allowances, free cars, and more money. They create opportunities for themselves and their kin, all at the expense of the taxpayer and their children.

That's why technocrats are better than mere loyalists. We'd have very little of this mess because the decisions of a few politically-motivated individuals have left the lives of thousands in the hospital wards at stake.

For once I agree with Baryomunsi. Government has trimmed the numbers in parliament in order to manage our public expenditure. Just recently, government cut down on the number of ministers. They are walking the talk on this one.
