II. RECENT ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK
Economic Growth
10. Madam Speaker, the size of our economy is projected to expand to
Shs. 162.1 Trillion for the financial year ending 30th June 2022. This
is equivalent to US Dollars 45.7 Billion. Economic activity has been
more buoyant at the growth rate of 4.6 percent per annum this
financial year up from 3.5 percent of last year. This shows that the
economy is on a path to full recovery from the COVID-19 disruptions.
11. Madam Speaker, with this buoyant recovery and resilience of the
economy—induced by our deliberate and prudent economic policies—
Uganda’s GDP per capita has increased to US Dollars 1,046 in
current prices, which is equivalent to Uganda Shs. 3.7 million per
person per year.
12. Madam Speaker, the services sector is expected to grow by 3.8 percent
up from 2.8 percent growth last financial year. This is on account of
continued recovery in wholesale and retail trade, education and
tourism services; coupled with growth in real estate activities and ICT.
The services sector is projected to contribute 41.5 percent to GDP.
13. The industry sector is expected to grow by 5.4 percent up from 3.5
percent growth last financial year, largely on account of recovery in
manufacturing and construction activities. The industry sector is
projected to contribute 26.8 percent to our GDP.
4
14. The agriculture sector is expected to grow by 4.3 percent, largely as a
result of growth in food and cash crop production, livestock as well as
recovery in fishing. This is the same rate at which the agriculture
sector grew last year. The sector contributed 24.1 percent to total
economic output.
Prices
15. Madam Speaker, in the second half of Financial Year 2021/22,
however, there has been a significant increase in prices for some of
the essential commodities and services. These include laundry bar
soap, petrol and diesel, cooking oil, some food crop items such as
wheat, sugar, potatoes, and onions. Education services, and building
materials such as cement and steel have also experienced price
increases. As a result, the overall inflation has increased considerably
from 2.7 percent in January 2022 to 6.3 percent in May 2022, causing
considerable discomfort among the public.
16. Madam Speaker, this recent increase in the prices of essential
commodities is a result of events that have occurred outside Uganda.
These are:
i) The effect of COVID-19 restrictions across the world, which
disrupted supply-chains, which has consequently caused a
shortage of intermediate raw materials used to produce some
essential commodities;
ii) In the recent past, the global economy has faced high shipping
costs arising from limited availability of containers, and higher fuel
prices; all together leading to supply shortages globally;
iii) The full opening of economies globally following relative
containment during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns has led to
a rapid rise in aggregate demand for a number of fast-moving-goods
5
beginning with oil, yet production levels have been constrained by
Covid-19 restrictions; and
iv) The situation has been worsened by the Russia-Ukraine conflict,
which has further disrupted supply of oil, cereals such as wheat,
maize, and sunflower oil, as well as essential metals like aluminum
and nickel. The two countries are major producers and exporters
of these commodities.
17. Madam Speaker, appropriate measures to curb the rising prices in the
short, medium and long term will be implemented. These measures
include:
i) Supporting farmers to grow more fast-maturing food and oil seeds
to ensure sufficient domestic supply;
ii) Maintaining a market-based determination of prices to support a
continuous supply of the goods and services. This is intended to
ensure that demand does not outstrip supply;
iii) Expediting improvement of alternative fuel import routes across
Lake Victoria to avoid possible unnecessary supply disruptions;
iv) Using appropriate fiscal and monetary policies to mitigate the
impact of price shocks;
v) Construct additional fuel storage infrastructure in the medium
term, and stock them adequately; and
vi) Expediting commercial oil production and development of the oil
refinery.
18. Madam Speaker, Government cannot influence price levels whose
changes are driven by external shocks that are outside its control. We
will therefore not be applying measures which can lead to long-term
and painful distortions in the economy. For example persistent
shortages of goods, hoarding, and black markets.
6
Exchange Rate Developments
19. Madam Speaker, over the past year, the Uganda Shilling initially
strengthened against the US Dollar, appreciating by 2.3 percent
between April 2021 and April 2022. This appreciation was on
account of higher dollar inflows from our exports, foreign direct
investment, and foreigners buying Government treasury bills and
bonds.
20. However, the Shilling has experienced significant depreciation
pressures since March 2022 on account of concerns arising from the
Ukraine-Russia conflict and related sanctions as well as the rising
interest rates in advanced economies. The Shilling depreciated by 1.7
percent month-on-month on average in the three months to June
2022 and by 6.7 percent against the US Dollar between June 2021
and June 2022. The Bank of Uganda is taking appropriate measures
to avoid volatile fluctuations but not preventing the exchange rate
movements.
Interest Rates
21. Madam Speaker, commercial bank lending rates for Shilling
denominated loans marginally declined to 18.8 percent in the 10-
month period to April 2022, down from 19.1 percent in the same
period in the previous year. Reduction in lending rates occurred in the
Transport and Communication, Building, Mortgages, Construction
and Real Estate, and Personal and Household Loans sectors.
7
by US Dollars 858 million in the same period. However, coffee receipts
increased by US Dollars 279.5 million to US Dollars 811 million in the
same period.
23. Madam Speaker, private sector imports of goods have increased
significantly to US Dollars 6.4 billion in the year to April 2022 from
US Dollars 5.0 billion in the previous 12 months. This increase is
attributed largely to investments in the oil and gas sector. For the
same reason, foreign direct investment has rebounded strongly to US
Dollars 1.36 billion in the year to April 2022 from US Dollars 892
million in the same period a year before.
24. Uganda’s international reserves at the end of April 2022 increased to
US$ 4.54 billion, equivalent to about 4.6 months of imports. This was
an increase from US Dollars 3.57 billion as at April 2021.
Fiscal Performance
25. Madam Speaker, the revenue collection target in financial year
2021/22 Budget was Shs. 22.425 trillion. Total revenue collection is
now projected at Shs. 21.486 trillion. This represents a shortfall of
Shs. 939 billion.
26. Despite this revenue shortfall, domestic revenue collection this
financial year has improved compared to last year. This has been on
account of improved tax administration and increased economic
activity following the full re-opening of the economy in January 2022.
27. Madam Speaker, total Government expenditure excluding domestic
debt refinancing, external debt amortisation and appropriation-in-aid
is projected to amount to Shs. 35.027 trillion this ending financial
year. This expenditure is equivalent to 21.6 percent of GDP. This is
Shs. 697 billion higher than the expenditure planned at the time of
budgeting, mainly due to the need to finance the health requirements
8
associated with the impact of Covid-19 pandemic, and to address
internal and regional security threats.
28. Madam Speaker, the fiscal deficit this Financial Year 2021/22 is
estimated at 7.3 percent of GDP which is lower than the 9 percent
fiscal deficit registered in Financial Year 2020/21. Our target is to
reduce the fiscal deficit to 3 percent in the medium term.
9
iv) Funding scientific research and development, including COVID
vaccines development and innovative therapeutics such as
COVIDEX.
31. Madam Speaker, during the pandemic, learning continued with the
provision of home-learning materials across the country. Following
the full reopening of schools, an additional 2,900 primary and
secondary school teachers have been recruited and deployed to help
the learners to catch up on lost time.
10
iv) For small businesses that do not fall under Emyooga and at the
same time do not qualify for the UDB funding, the Shs. 200 billion
Small Business Recovery Fund has been established in partnership
with Bank of Uganda supervised financial institutions to offer credit
at a subsidised interest rate of 10% percent per year;
v) To support the recovery of medium and large-scale businesses,
Uganda Development Bank (UDB) was capitalized to the tune of
Shs. 636 billion and which was fully disbursed by May 2022 at an
interest rate of 12 percent per annum. In addition, UDB plans to
disburse a further Shs. 351 billion by December this year;
vi) For private sector enterprises engaged in strategic industrial
development of the country, such as agro-processing,
manufacturing, and minerals beneficiation, the Uganda
Development Corporation (UDC) received Shs. 160.7 billion this
financial year to make equity joint venture investments;
vii) Government has also disbursed the Shs. 20 billion to Teachers’
SACCO to support them to recover from the pandemic;
viii) In the Financial Year 2021/2022, the Agricultural Credit Facility
disbursed a total of Shs. 67.42 billion to 1,057 borrowers as at
June 2022. Cumulatively, the fund has financed a total of 3,120
farmers across the country to a tune of Shs. 737.30 billion;
ix) Following amendment of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF)
Act to allow mid-term access for qualifying members, a total of Shs.
420 billion has so far been paid out to about 21,500 beneficiaries;
and
x) For women entrepreneurs, I have received a US Dollar 217 million
grant from the World Bank to provide funding in the coming
11
financial year to middle level businesses managed by women to
support their growth and create jobs.
33. Madam Speaker, as a result of the above measures, we have begun to
see positive trends in business activity. For example, during the 10
months from July 2021 to April 2022, there was a 38 percent increase
in tax payers with 686,000 new taxpayers being added to the taxpayer
register.
34. In addition, investors’ sentiments about doing business in Uganda
have remained positive in recent months as illustrated by the
following indicators between July 2021 and May 2022.
i) The Business Tendency Index (BTI) which has increased by 20.8
percent. The BTI measures the level of optimism that executives
have about current and expected outlook for production, order
levels, employment, prices and access to credit;
ii) The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) which has increased by 48.8
percent. The PMI is an indicator of business activity both in the
manufacturing and services sectors; and
iii) The Composite Index of Economic Activity (CIEA) which has
increased by 4.3 percent. The CIEA represents the monthly
underlying forces in the national economy.
12
iii) Commercialisation of oil and gas following the announcement of
the Final Investment Decision (FID) in February this year;
iv) Active import substitution for goods that Uganda can produce and
export competitively, such as pharmaceuticals;
v) Support to private sector industries particularly in agro-industry,
light manufacturing and value-addition to our minerals;
vi) Improved access to affordable credit for micro, small and medium
enterprises to enable their businesses revive and create jobs;
vii) Fast tracking the implementation of the Parish Development Model
which targets increased production of strategic commodities for
domestic consumption and export; and
viii) Digitisation of the economy to realise efficiency gains in business
and government.
36. Madam Speaker, the Budget Strategy for the Financial Year 2022/23
and over the medium term seeks to restore economic activity to the
pre-pandemic levels, and subsequently accelerate the pace of socio-
economic transformation. The three broad objectives of the strategy
are:
i) Sustaining peace, security and stability as well as macro-economic
stability, as key foundations for recovery, growth and socio-
economic transformation;
ii) Mitigation of the COVID-19 impact on business activity, livelihoods
and the overall economy; and
iii) Speeding up socio-economic transformation by repurposing the
budget towards wealth and job creation as well as other impactful
investments.
13
Imperatives for implementing the Financial Year 2022/2023 Budget
37. Madam Speaker, in order to achieve these three key objectives, the
following imperatives must be adhered to:
i) National budget reform to make it more re-distributive and
responsive to national priorities.
ii) Enhanced fiscal discipline to limit supplementary expenditure to
only the unforeseeable and unavoidable spending within the 3
percent provided for under the law.
iii) Enhanced domestic revenue mobilisation to increase the revenue-
to-GDP ratio to our target of 18 percent over the medium term.
iv) Limit the borrowing to restore the debt-to-GDP ratio to within 50
percent over the medium term as provided for in the Charter for
Fiscal Responsibility.
v) Continued alignment of the budget to the National Development
Plan to ensure that our development priorities are adequately
funded.
vi) Automate Government processes and systems to enhance
efficiency, save money, and fight fraud and other forms of
corruption.
vii) Rationalisation and restructuring of Government to eliminate
duplication, overlaps, mandate wars and resource wastage.
38. Madam Speaker, the key priorities for the Financial Year 2022/23
Budget are the following:
i) Enhancement of security, the rule of law and fighting corruption;
ii) Sustaining economic recovery;
14
iii) Implementation of the Parish Development Model to create wealth
and jobs;
iv) Promotion of agro-industrialisation, standards and market entry;
v) Commercialisation of oil and gas;
vi) Enhancement of transport, energy and ICT infrastructure;
vii) Enhancing human capital development, science, innovation and
knowledge transfer; and
viii) Enhancing public sector effectiveness and efficiency.
39. Madam Speaker, peace, security and stability as well as rule of law
are the bedrock of socio-economic transformation, and thus must
remain key Government priorities.
15
44. Madam Speaker, in order to enhance surveillance and improve crime
detection, the first Phase of the CCTV camera project was successfully
implemented with the installation of over 3,000 cameras country wide.
The second phase is now 95 percent complete, and targets all cities
and major highways.
45. Madam Speaker, Shs 3.987 Trillion has been provided for
improvement of security and security infrastructure.
Rule of Law
46. Madam Speaker, in order to enhance the rule of law, the priority will
be to improve the dispensation of justice for all. The Judiciary will be
supported to allow for speedy dispensation of justice and address the
backlog of cases.
47. In terms of systems that enhance the judicial process, the Electronic
Court Case Management Information System (ECCMIS) to improve
case management is now functional in seven (7) court circuits within
the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area. Additionally, the Video
Conferencing System is operational in several courts across the
country. The rollout of the Electronic Court Case Management
Information System and Video Conferencing Systems in an additional
ten (10) courts will also commence next financial year.
48. Madam Speaker, administration of Justice will be strengthened with
the recruitment of more Judicial Officers; the establishment of two (2)
Regional Courts of Appeal in Gulu and Mbarara, and two (2) High
Court circuits in Luwero and Soroti. In addition, three (3) Chief
Magistrate Courts in Alebtong, Lyantonde and Budaka; and four (4)
Grade I Magistrate Courts in Karenga, Patongo, Abim, and Kyazanga
Districts, will also be established.
16
49. Madam Speaker, in order to further improve the delivery of justice,
the construction of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal
building will be completed soon. In addition, the Chief Magistrates
Court buildings in Hoima, Luwero and Masindi districts among
others, were rehabilitated during the ending financial year.
50. Madam Speaker, over 78 percent of the population can now access a
frontline service point within a five-kilometer radius. District coverage
of justice front line service points has increased from 61.5 percent in
2017 to 74 percent in 2021.
Anti-Corruption
51. Madam Speaker, we continue to make progress in the fight against
corruption. There was increased declaration of income, assets, and
liabilities by leaders from 25,000 to over 400,000 in 2021, with the
increase in the scope of public servants who are required to declare
income, assets and liabilities. This financial year, Shs. 3.0 billion has
been recovered from corrupt leaders and public servants and
deposited in the Consolidated Fund.
52. Madam Speaker, to enhance the rule of law and to step up the fight
against corruption, I have provided Shs 381.6 billion for the
Judiciary, Shs 95.0 billion for the Directorate of Public Prosecutions,
Shs 876.4 Billion for the Uganda Police, and Shs 308.7 Billion for
the Uganda Prisons Service. I have also allocated Shs 79.4 billion for
the Inspectorate of Government.
17
Development Model (PDM) is going to be fully implemented in the
coming financial year.
54. Madam Speaker, in financial year ending June 2022, Shs 234 billion
was provided for the implementation of the PDM. More efforts have
been focused on preparatory activities to prepare for full
implementation of the model. These include: recruitment of Parish
Chiefs by all districts; data collection, verification of beneficiaries,
establishment of SACCOs; setting up of the PDM Management Unit in
the Ministry of Local Government; and sensitisation and mobilisation,
among others.
55. Madam Speaker, next financial year, I have provided a total of Shs.
1.059 trillion for full implementation of the Model. Each of the
10,594 Parishes in the country will receive Shs. 100 million as a
revolving fund, earmarked for purchase of agricultural inputs by
households still in subsistence.
56. Madam Speaker, the Parish Development Model will be complemented
by other Government programmes such as the Emyooga Fund; the
Microfinance Support Centre credit to other SACCOs and Village
Savings Groups; the Small Business Recovery Fund; and other wealth
creation initiatives.
Agriculture Production
57. Madam Speaker, agriculture production will be enhanced using the
first pillar of the Parish Development Model – that addresses
production, agro-processing, and marketing, through enhanced
access and entry to national, regional and global markets. This value
chain approach allows development of sustainable linkages. The key
interventions will include:
18
i) Development of key commodities value chains that have a high
impact on transforming the 39 percent of households in
subsistence into the money economy. These include coffee, beef
and dairy cattle, poultry, fish, piggery, fruits, and food crops for
intensive farming. The rest of the enterprises including cassava,
bananas, rice, Irish potatoes, millet, cotton, tea, cashew-nuts,
among others, will also be supported but for relatively big farmers;
ii) Expansion of irrigation schemes and providing community and
individual on-farm water for production to minimise reliance on
rain-fed agriculture; and ensuring sustained agricultural
production;

vii) Supporting fishing communities by developing hatcheries, fish
ponds, and equipping them with engines, nets etc.
19
58. Madam Speaker, I have allocated Shs. 564.39 billion to increase
production and productivity through the Ministry of Agriculture.
Animal Industry and Fisheries.
20

internationally recognised product bar codes, branding, packaging
and labelling of Uganda’s products for visibility;
vi) Enhancing implementation of the Export Development Strategy
including carrying out negotiations for access and entry to regional
and international markets;
vii) Establishing fully serviced industrial parks;
viii) Promoting investment in strategic industries such as manufacture
of pharmaceuticals, industrial sugar, starch, herbal extracts and

levels and beyond by prioritising the following interventions:
i) Facilitation of the Uganda Tourism Board to rebrand and promote
Uganda under the new ‘Explore Uganda’ brand;
ii) Sustaining and upscaling investment in tourism infrastructure –
like roads, electricity, internet, security, etc.;
iii) Easing access to recovery financing at the Uganda Development
Bank; and
iv) Intensifying promotion of domestic tourism.
66. Madam Speaker, I have provided tourism activities with Shs. 194.7
billion to complement private sector investment and support its
recovery.
22
68. Madam Speaker, I have allocated Shs. 904.1 billion towards the
development and commercialisation of minerals, oil and gas.
Health
70. Madam Speaker, the emphasis now is on mass vaccination of all
eligible persons and community disease surveillance by strengthening
Village Health Teams (VHTs) with training and equipping them with a
smartphone and bicycle. Additional Health assistants and
surveillance officers will be recruited to support the VHTs.
71. Madam Speaker, the development of health infrastructure nationwide
will continue. The rehabilitation and expansion of the following
General Hospitals will be undertaken – Itojo, Kaabong, Abim,

amounting to US Dollars 180.3 million (equivalent to Ushs. 667.1
billion). This grant will finance the rapid detection, prevention and
quick responses to threats posed by the COVID-19 Pandemic. It will
23
also finance the strengthening of national systems for public health
preparedness.
73. Madam Speaker, the construction and equipping of a modern heart
facility will commence in the coming financial year, to be located in
Naguru. This US Dollar 70 million facility will be funded by the Arab
Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA); the Saudi Fund
for Development (SFD); and the OPEC Fund for International
Development (OPEC Fund).
74. Madam Speaker, I have allocated a total of Shs 3.722 trillion for
healthcare delivery in Financial Year 2022/20223.
Water
75. Madam Speaker, national safe water coverage now stands at 69.8
percent, with coverage in rural areas at 68 percent and 71.6 percent

Education
79. Madam Speaker, education is a key opportunity equaliser for human
beings. During the Covid-19 induced lockdown period, many teachers
abandoned the profession, and classrooms got dilapidated in several

Power Infrastructure
87. Madam Speaker, national electricity access today stands at 57
percent, of which, 19 percent is on the main national grid and 38
percent is off-grid, including solar power. Uganda’s total electricity
generation capacity has increased from 1,268 megawatts in Financial
Year 2019/2020 to 1,347 megawatts in Financial Year 2021/2022, on
account of the completion of the 42 megawatts Achwa I, the 21
megawatts Nyamagasani, and the 15.5 megawatts Sugar Corporation
of Uganda Limited (SCOUL) plants.
88. The transmission network increased from 3,100 kilometres in
Financial Year 2020/2021 to 3,431 kilometres as at the end of the
third quarter Financial Year 2021/22 as a result of the commissioning
of the Karuma-Kawanda 400 kV and Karuma-Olwiyo 132 kV
Transmission Lines. The Luzira Sub-station was completed and will
be commissioned after completion of the 15 kilometres 132kV
transmission line.
89. Madam Speaker in the next financial year, the following interventions
in power infrastructure will continue to be implemented:
i) Commence the unit-by-unit commissioning of the 600 megawatts
Karuma Hydro Plant in September 2022, with the plant being fully
available in June 2023;
28
ii) Complete the Opuyo-Moroto, Lira-Gulu-Nebbi-Arua, Lira-Gulu-
Agago and the Mutundwe – Entebbe 132kV transmission lines; and
iii) Commence feasibility and design studies for the 400kv Uganda -
South Sudan transmission line between Olwiyo – Nimule -Juba; the

31
98. Madam Speaker, I wish to report that Parliament has made
amendments to the various tax laws intended to simplify the laws,
clarify previously ambiguous provisions and close loopholes that may
lead to revenue leakage.
99. Madam Speaker, the amendments that have been made are in the
Income Tax Act, Value Added Tax, the Stamp Duty Act and the Tax
Procedures Act. I will now highlight the major amendments.
Income Tax
100. Madam Speaker, the corporate income tax exemption for Bujagali
Hydro Power Project has been extended for one (1) year up to 30th
June 2023 in order not to increase electricity tariffs for power that the
Project generates.
101. Madam Speaker, the income tax Act has been amended to streamline
the rental income tax regime for individuals and non-individuals as
follows: -
i) Introduce a zero rental income tax rate for individuals that earn
annual rental income not exceeding Shs. 2,820,000 and a rate of
12 percent of rental income exceeding that amount; and
ii) For rental business, introduce a 30 percent rental income tax rate
on rental income with expenses capped to 50 percent for each year
of income. In addition, any excess expenses shall not be carried
forward to a subsequent year of income.
32
ii) Exempted the supply of assistive devices for persons with
disabilities to reduce the cost of the equipment used by persons
with disabilities;
iii) Exempted the supply of airport user services charged by the Civil
Aviation Authority to reduce the cost of transiting through Entebbe
Airport;
iv) To allow for Cash Basis Accounting for suppliers who supply goods
and services to Government to facilitate them to hedge against the
risk of interest and penalties arising from delayed payments by
Government; and
v) Repealed the exemption on VAT on imported services used in the
provision of an exempt supply to encourage business to use local
suppliers of services such as Information and Communications
Technological services.
Stamp Duty
104. Madam Speaker, under the Stamp Duty, the following amendments
have been made: -
i) Provide for NIL stamp duty on the following instruments;
33
a. Agreements relating to the deposit of title deeds or personal
property or goods to another as a pledge or as security for a sum
of money borrowed.
Excise Duty
105. Madam Speaker, under the Excise Duty Act, the Government has
undertaken the following amendments: -
i) Clarification of definitions of various products that attract excise
duty such as spirits and juices to enhance taxpayer compliance;
and
ii) Reduced excise duty applicable on opaque beer and fermented
beverages made from locally sourced raw materials to 12 percent
or Shs.150 per litre, whichever is higher. This is intended to
promote value addition and the use of locally sourced raw
materials.
34
The Medium-Term Financing Strategy
106. Madam Speaker, the financing of the budget will be generated from
the implementation of the following revenue and public debt
measures.
35
Public Debt Management
109. Madam Speaker, as at the end of December 2021, Uganda’s total
public debt stock stood at Shs. 73.5 trillion (equivalent to USD 20.7
Billion), of which External Debt amounted to Shs. 45.72 trillion
(equivalent to US Dollars 12.9 billion) and Domestic Debt amounted
to Shs. 27.77 trillion (equivalent to US Dollars 7.84 billion). This
represents nominal Debt to GDP ratio of 49.7 percent.
110. The rise in the debt stock was mainly on account of the need to
support the economy and preserve the welfare of households a result
of COVID 19, and other external and domestic shocks. Debt was also
used to finance the shortfalls in domestic revenue.
111. Madam Speaker, the Government is implementing the following
measures to ensure long term public debt sustainability:-
i) Reduce the level of domestic borrowing over the medium term to
an average of 2.2 percent of GDP per year. This ratio will be
reduced further to a policy target of 1.0 percent of GDP over the
long term;
ii) Implement the Public Investment Financing Strategy. This
strategy will ensure alignment of suitable financing modalities
with the nature of Government programmes and projects;
iii) Implement the Financial Year 2022/23 borrowing strategy which
is consistent with our Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy,
to avoid risks associated with unsustainable debt;
iv) Borrow largely on favourable terms and for projects that enhance
the productivity of the economy;
v) Sequencing new projects in a manner that makes the Government
service its debt obligations without the risk of default. This means
36
the Government will only mobilise debt financing for ready
projects and will cancel projects with poor performance; and
vi) Increase domestic revenue by implementing the Domestic
Revenue Mobilisation Strategy.
VI. CONCLUSION
112. Madam Speaker, the budget for the next financial year presents a set
of strategic choices and the government’s commitment to stimulate
economic recovery, enhance productivity and competitiveness of
enterprises, and most importantly wealth creation and jobs for the
ordinary Ugandans.
113. Substantial resources have been earmarked for the implementation
of the Parish Development Model. This model will be the vehicle of
socioeconomic transformation at the parish level, and the
monetization of the Ugandan economy. Successful implementation
of the Parish Development Model ushers in a mass socio-economic
transformation movement in our society with better sustained
outcomes. I therefore urge all leaders and Ugandans to ensure that
these resources are effectively used to bring about the desired
change.
114. To the Ugandan Scientists and Health Workers, Government has
fulfilled its commitment to enhancing your pay. Ugandans expect
better services in return.
115. To the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), I implore
you to take advantage of the Economic Recovery programmes, and
the opportunities that come with petroleum and other public
infrastructure investments, to re-strategize, recover your businesses,
37
expand, and formalize. This way, you will be able to benefit more
from the now bigger EAC market and create decent and better-paying
jobs for our young people.
116. For the women entrepreneurs, the Grant from the World Bank will
support the growth of your enterprises, create better paying jobs and
enable you to exploit the opportunities in the economy to enhance
your incomes.
117. Madam Speaker, in order to improve service delivery, my Ministry
together with our budget transparency partners has introduced
service excellence awards for the best performing Ministries,
Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and Local Governments, as part
of the Budget month. At an appropriate time in the near future, H.E
the President will present awards of recognition to the best
performing MDAs for financial year 2021/22.
118. Madam Speaker, I dedicate this Budget to delivering the Ugandan
households still in the subsistence to the money economy.
119. I thank you all for listening.
