The @CSBAGUGANDA ED @JuliusMukunda presented at the Alternative Government Budget Priorities event at @Parliament_Ug, speaking to the various proposals led by Opposition Leader Joel Ssenyonyi

Attached are the Key Highlights;
➡️Mukunda highlighted a 75% increase in the budget over 5 years, questioning if citizens’ quality of life has improved at the same pace.

➡️Uganda increasingly relies on borrowing to pay back borrowing. Out of 44 trillion UGX, nearly 40% goes to corporate debt, leaving little for development.

➡️The national budget is described as a “moving target” — figures change frequently, making planning and accountability hard.

➡️The @CSBAGUGANDA ED @JuliusMukunda criticized the 0.5% mobile money levy and taxes on smartphones, which penalize small entrepreneurs. Two-thirds of Ugandans cannot afford smartphones despite 96% internet coverage.

➡️The Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026, could classify NGOs, research institutes, and even WhatsApp groups as “foreign agents,” potentially cutting 8–10 trillion UGX in funding and causing job losses.

➡️Growth requires discipline, transparency, and inclusion. Civil society warns that without reforms, budget expansion alone won’t translate to real improvements for everyday Ugandans.

@DailyMonitor When will we do the right things first ever in our country. Issues that require technical clearance should be given the attention needed, otherwise, we are headed for the worst.

@AokoOtieno_ Don't politicize everything, the company is a private entity and you can't lie to the public about tribalism.

@WilliamsMkenya And someone is somewhere saying the President has done nothing positive. Who bewitched us that we can't see the real things on the ground 😞😭😞.
Let's build a better Kenya together and President Ruto is making Kenya great again. Do your part.

[cheptoek robert @cheptoekrobert]

@Itumbi_Denis He is doing a lot for the country but we have been brainwashed by agents of doom and destruction to concentrate on the negative, yet if we could combine our efforts, Kenya would be one of the best countries to live in.

2024 was a blessing and tough for you, but one thing stands, you were protected and you covered all the 365 days. 2025 is welcoming you with open arms, new beginnings, and challenges to make you stronger. May love, peace, joy,career growth, good health and prosperity be yours.

@_James041 Never invest in spreading lies and rumors just for just. A civically alert citizen will always ask questions like what have I done constructively for my country , what can I do better to make my country better? How can I engage with my leaders for a better country? Don't kill

Sports remains the only unifier in a world faced with numerous challenges, give a hand to sportsmen and women who put smiles on our faces despite the agony in our heart. Peace, love and tranquility create a better world for all.

@FabrizioRomano It's good to rest and give players opportunities.

@ntvuganda Its only normal in Uganda that we are always visitors. We haven't known or learned from past experience to inform our planning & projections. Disasters hit us hard yearly & the same statements are made by those entrusted with the responsibility of planning & allocating resources
