The Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026 was gazetted on 13 April 2026 and tabled before Parliament on 15 April 2026. The Bill proposes far‑reaching regulatory and criminal measures aimed at addressing perceived foreign interference in Uganda’s internal affairs.

If enacted in its current form, the Bill will have significant implications across multiple sectors, including NGOs, private companies, financial institutions, media houses, academic and research institutions, faith‑based organisations, diplomatic missions, and individuals receiving foreign funding or support.

Key features of the Bill include:
👉Mandatory registration for “agents of a foreigner”
👉Ministerial approval needed for certain foreign funding
👉Limits on policy advocacy and related activities
👉Expanded powers for disclosure, inspection, and enforcement
👉Strict penalties, including fines and long prison terms

Our Legal Alert written by @MosesJAdrikoSc @ntalex1 Hussein D. Gulam, FCIArb and @to_ayerot provides an overview of the Bill, identifies the categories of organisations and individuals likely to be affected, and highlights key constitutional and legal concerns arising from the proposed framework.
