Today I shared my vision for the Ministry with @mofpedU top management team as i embark on executing my mandate.

While chairing the maiden top management meeting, I noted that my commitment is to transition Uganda from incremental growth to exponential economic take-off through these five pillars.

1️⃣ The USD 500 billion target. We shall relentlessly execute the tenfold growth strategy to turn Uganda into a 500 billion-dollar-economy.

2️⃣Enforcing absolute discipline. We shall shift the Ministry culture from spending money to enforcing results.
I will also demand strict budget discipline, aggressive procurement reforms and rigorous value for money audits on all public projects.

 3️⃣Aggressive revenue mobilization. We shall implement the second domestic revenue mobilization strategy to push our revenue to GDP ratio to at least 20%, cutting external dependency.

4️⃣Presidential wealth creation agenda. The Ministry will prioritise funding and tracking the commercialization of the smallholders to ensure every Ugandan enters the money economy.

 5️⃣Smart oil governance. We shall manage our impending oil revenues with bulletproof institutional guardrails and oil revenue will be used to build infrastructure.
The goal is for Uganda to become an oil producer but never an oil dependent economy.
