Today, I had a cordial and constructive engagement with the Parliamentary Appointments Committee during my vetting process.
I reiterate my commitment to serving Uganda with integrity, diligence, and dedication.
For God and My Country. 🇺🇬🙏
I interacted with the Parliamentary committee on Appointments following my nomination to serve as Minister of Finance planning and economic development in the Cabinet of 2026-2031.
I shared our progress,outlined Ugandas current economic robust base line,and committed to the roadmap for Ugandas economic growth agenda.
Going forward my focus is to transition Uganda from incremental growth to exponential takeoff through five pillars
1. The USD 500 Billion Target: Relentlessly execute the Tenfold Growth Strategy to turn Uganda into a half-trillion-dollar economy by 2040.
2. Enforcing Absolute Discipline: Shift the Ministry’s culture from spending money to enforcing results. I will demand strict budget discipline, aggressive procurement reforms, and rigorous value-for-money audits on all public projects.
3. Aggressive Revenue Mobilisation: Implement the second Domestic Revenue Mobilisation Strategy (DRMS) to push our revenue-to-GDP ratio to at least 20%, cutting external dependence.
4. Presidential Wealth Creation Agenda: Prioritize funding and tracking the commercialisation of smallholders to ensure every Ugandan enters the money economy.
5. Smart Oil Governance: Manage our impending oil revenues with bulletproof institutional guardrails. We will use oil to build infrastructure and muscle, ensuring Uganda becomes an oil producer, but never an oil-dependent economy.
Over the last five years, we delivered key budgets and reforms, secured Uganda’s exit from the FATF Grey List, strengthened fiscal institutions, and formulated the Tenfold Growth Strategy.
Today, Uganda’s economy is strong and accelerating: 7% growth this year, rising to 10.2% with First Oil; GDP at USD 68.4 billion; inflation at 3.3%; debt sustainable at 52.7% of GDP; FDI up 151% to USD 3.66 billion; exports doubled to USD 16.25 billion; and URA projected to finance 80% of the discretionary budget. Formal jobs more than tripled to 2.32 million. UGX 4.4 trillion via PDM has reached 10,589 parishes empowering over 4 million Ugandans while Emyooga has Transformed 2.48 million lives.
I am deeply honoured by the trust reposed in me by H.E. the President @KagutaMuseveni and I assure him and the people of Uganda of my unwavering commitment to steering our nation's economic agenda towards sustainable growth, prosperity, and improved livelihoods.
I look forward to working collaboratively with stakeholders to drive Uganda's development ambitions.

During a Sabbath service at SDA Church Mafubira in Jinja City yesterday, I urged the people of Busoga to join me in serving Ugandans with equity.
I implored the congregation to stick to and trust God in whatever they plan to do, because he will always pave the way for them, no matter who their enemies are.
I expressed gratitude to H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni @KagutaMuseveni for the trust he has placed in me throughout my career, beginning with my appointment as Deputy RDC, Senior Presidential Advisor (SPA) on political affairs, and now as Minister In Charge of the Presidency for the two consecutive terms in office. I am grateful to God that in my services, my legacy has remained free of any scandal.
I also urged them to make an effort in combating corruption as Uganda strives to achieve upper-middle-income status.
As H.E. President Museveni stated that: "this Kisanja no sleeping and no more corruption," during his swearing-in at Kololo, it is our responsibility as Ugandans to fight corruption because it affects us all.
Corruption has a variety of direct and indirect effects on the Ugandan economy. The majority of the impact manifests itself in lost efficiency, reduced investment, and weakened public services.
When public funds are diverted, projects cost more while delivering less. Roads, hospitals, schools are under-built and other social services are delayed. The Inspectorate of Government estimates that corruption costs Uganda approximately UGX 10 trillion per year, or 9.4% of GDP.

"We have put the lions share of our resources in ATMS and Enablers," said the PSST adding that 85% of the discretionary budget is targeting ATMS and Enablers.
