As we implement the Financial Year 2026/27 Budget, we must remain focused on Uganda’s strategic goal of socio-economic transformation. Our economy is growing at 6.4% and is projected to expand to 10.2% next year, driven in part by petroleum. By fully utilizing our vast potential, taking advantage of the African market, and ensuring that every household joins the money economy, we shall create prosperity for all Ugandans.

To dismiss those who walked the road before you is to reject the very counsel that shortens your stumbles. Listen, and you inherit what years cannot buy.

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.

“In phase 1, many projects were incomplete, and as we speak now, it is redundant with no productivity.” #PlenaryUg

Congratulations to Hon. @MercyLakiskis upon her appointment as State Minister for Youth and Children Affairs!
As a young woman who defied the odds to emerge as the Woman Member of Parliament for Alebtong District, Hon. Lakisa's journey is a powerful testament to resilience, determination, and the growing leadership potential of Uganda's youth.
Her appointment is not only a win for young people but also a strong affirmation of women's leadership in public service. Many young Ugandans see in her a reflection of their aspirations and a reminder that age should never be a barrier to leadership.
As she assumes this important office, young people across the country look forward to her championing meaningful youth participation in decision-making, expanding employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, strengthening skills development, protecting children's rights, and ensuring that youth voices are at the center of Uganda's development agenda.
We wish her wisdom, courage, and success as she serves Uganda's young people and children.
