The Ministry of Finance released the draft for next year’s national budget, setting the total at Shs 79.22 trillion. The allocation emphasizes infrastructure development, health, and education, with a 12 % increase in capital spending for roads and energy projects. Revenue projections rely on higher tax compliance and a modest rise in oil royalties. Opposition parties have called for greater transparency in the budgeting process, while civil society groups urge the government to earmark more funds for climate‑resilient agriculture. The budget will be debated in Parliament beginning next month.
