2026/27 FY: Museveni Tasks Both NRM, Opposition on Accountability

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has called on both ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) leaders and opposition politicians to take greater responsibility in monitoring government programmes and ensuring effective service delivery, warning that leaders who fail to oversee public initiatives should be held accountable. The President made the remarks today during the reading of Uganda’s Shs84.4 trillion national budget for the Financial Year 2026/27 at the Kololo Ceremonial Grounds. The budget was presented by the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Hon. Henry Musasizi on behalf of the President and it focuses on accelerating economic growth, improving service delivery and supporting productive sectors as Uganda pursues its ambition of becoming a middle-income, high-growth economy. President Museveni said Uganda has made significant progress economically but stressed that weaknesses in implementation and supervision continue to undermine government programmes.
