Uganda’s greatest threats are not always floods, wars, or economic shocks.

Sometimes they are hidden in how we think, lead, execute, and organize ourselves.

I share three silent threats Uganda must confront: Weak execution, Elite disunity, and Declining public leadership.

Ideas are good. Execution is better.

@patmukiibi Dear Patrick. These are really invigorating thoughts on revenue thank you very much. I am inclined to leveraging and strengthening existing institutional frameworks to achieve similar objectives. I have attached my suggestions @rggoobi

This afternoon I laid before @Parliament_Ug the Draft Annual Budget Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure for FY 2026/27.

The budget for FY 2026/27 has been prepared under the theme “Full Monetization of the Ugandan Economy through Commercial Agriculture, Industrialization, Expanding and Broadening Services, Digital Transformation and Market Access”.

The projected total Draft Annual Budget for FY2026/27 is Eighty-Four Trillion, Two Hundred and Ninety-Four Billion, One Hundred and Sixty-Three Million, Five Hundred and Seventy-Two Thousand, Nine Hundred and Sixty-Six Shillings Only (Shs. 84,294,163,572,966/=).

I also noted that the Budget for FY 2026/27 has been prepared in line with the Fourth National Development Plan (NDPIV) and the Tenfold Growth Strategy.

This will be the first budget to implement the next NRM Manifesto for the period 2026/27 – 2030/31. The budget has accordingly prioritised investments in Agro-Industrialization, Tourism Development, Mineral-Based Industrial Development, and Science Technology and Innovation including ICT and Creative Arts Industry (ATMS) and Enablers.

Also the key expenditure drivers for the FY2026/27 Annual Budget include; increased investments in key NDPIV flagship projects such as; the Standard Gauge Railway, Meter Gauge Railway, Kampala Jinja Express highway, construction and maintenance of critical roads, and electricity for industrial parks, among others.

The budget has also provided resources to support readiness activities for AFCON27 and enhancement of salaries for; Primary school teachers and Arts teachers in Secondary Schools and Business, Technical, and Vocational Education and Training (BTVET) institutions.

We have also proposed Tax Policy Measures amounting to One Trillion, Seven Hundred and Forty-One Billion Shilings (Shs. 1.741 trillion) to finance the Budget.

 The Budget Speech for FY2026/27 will be presented on Thursday 11th June, 2026.

@DenisDukeUG It follows that in current regime , rentals are more visible to the tax authorities than AirBnB or short stay apartments because in the later case it's difficult to accurately estimate annual ratable value. You might also wish to include ground rent, and property rates Abt 5%>

[ROBERT SSUUNA @RSsuuna]

@DenisDukeUG Hello Dennis You should have included the taxation component. Currently , if you are an Individual and invested in Rentals wanting you anything above 2,820,000/ per year, you pay 12% to the authorities. For companies think of about 15%.

@Winnie_Byanyima Thank you for articulating such an important aspect of the skewed international financial architecture. DRM efforts amongst developing nations risk futility due to systemic global rules which inevitably have to be reshaped, through UNframework. @TaxJusticeAfric @icrict
