[Hon. Eng Asiimwe Jonard. @EngJonard]

Today, I formally assume stewardship of Uganda’s Science, Technology and Innovation agenda. I extend my sincere appreciation to Hon. Dr. Monica Musenero for her distinguished service, visionary leadership, and the foundation she has helped establish. I take up this responsibility and mantle with humility, clarity of purpose, and an unwavering commitment to advancing scientific excellence, strengthening innovation ecosystems, and positioning technology as a catalyst for inclusive national transformation.

As we enter the next phase of this journey, our focus must be on translating research into enterprise, knowledge into solutions, and innovation into measurable socio-economic value. Through strategic partnerships, evidence-based policy, and disciplined execution, we shall deepen Uganda’s capacity to compete, create, and prosper in the knowledge economy. The task before us is not merely to imagine the future, but to engineer it; boldly, responsibly, and for the benefit of every Ugandan.

Today I presented the National Budget Speech outlining government priorities and allocations for the Financial Year 2026/27 at Kololo independence ground

In my speech I stated that Uganda has become a land of opportunity and promise.

Our economy has expanded to USD 69 billion and is projected to grow at double-digit rates,driven by strong export performance, first oil, & sustained wealth-creation interventions. More importantly, this growth is increasingly translating into jobs, higher incomes and better livelihood for Ugandans.

I also noted that Investor confidence is rising, and the Ugandan diaspora is responding with increased remittances, investment and active participation in our transformation.

This Budget aims to accelerate the attainment of the Tenfold Growth Strategy,adding that Government has allocated 95.6 percent of discretionary resources to the ATMS—Agro-industrialisation,
Tourism Development, Mineral-Based Industrialisation, and Science, Technology and Innovation—and their key enablers.

This Budget prioritises production, productivity, value addition, exports, and job creation. I invite the private sector to take full advantage of these opportunities to create wealth.

I also stated that Budget launches Uganda into the “Kisanja No More Sleep” and Every Ugandan must actively engage in wealth creation, and every leader must be accountable for transforming households and communities.

The era of planning and debate is over and the era of implementation and results has begun.

Our mission is clear
produce more, earn more, export more, and lift every household out of subsistence. I dedicate this Budget to all wealth creators, especially the youth, whose energy, enterprise and innovation will drive Uganda’s transformation into a 500-billion-dollar economy.
