Mukono County North

144 THE BUDGET SPEECH, 2026 Macrohaem Scientifics has established itself as a leading African manufacturer for rapid diagnostic kits, recording annual sales of approximately $75 million from products used in a diagnosis of malaria, HIV/AIDS, and sickle cell diseases. Dei BioPharma has operationalised manufacturing lines for generic oral solid and liquid medicines and secured approvals from the National Drug Authority for a range of essential medicines. Jena Herbals, the manufacturer of Covidex, has established a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Soroti, expanding Uganda’s capacity to produce health products locally and strengthening the country’s pharmaceutical value chain. These investments are improving health security, reducing imports, and creating high-value jobs. On advancing Uganda’s space science, the Government has strengthened Uganda’s space science and satellite technology capabilities. Government established modern ground satellite infrastructure at the Uganda National Space Centre at Mpoma, Mukono District. This has enabled our scientists to successfully deploy a climate camera to the International Space Station. This has expanded the country’s capacity to generate real-time data for climate monitoring, environmental management, disaster preparedness, and evidence-based decision making. On value addition under STI, the Government has intensified agro-industrialisation initiatives driven by scientific innovation aimed at increasing value addition, branding, and export competitiveness. The banana value addition facility by Prof. Muranga strengthened its production capacity for banana value-added products and fulfilled export orders from South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Italy. In addition, the Government has invested in the establishment of the coffee park in Ntungamo. The Africa Coffee Park has innovated 18 products of value-added coffee, ready to go into the market for roast, freeze dry, and spray dry high-level technology. On digital transformation, the Government continued expanding digital infrastructure to improve the availability, reliability, affordability of ICT services, as well as access to the services. During the year, an additional 879 kilometres of fibre optic cable were installed, bringing the national fibre backbone to approximately 62,941 kilometres. As a result, internet costs declined from $70 to $35 per megabit per second. Active mobile internet subscriptions stand at 18.5 million, while the number of smartphones connected to Ugandan networks has reached 20 million. Total registered mobile telephone subscriptions have reached 57.3 million, placing Uganda among the most connected markets in the region. The increased penetration of mobile telephones has increased financial inclusion and improved access to e-commerce, telemedicine, marketing, and agricultural information for farmers. In the year ending March 2026, mobile money transactions rose by 29 per cent to Shs 392.7 trillion. Active mobile money accounts stood at 36.7 million. As at 31 March 2026, the number of mobile money agents had reached 1.22 million. I now come to creative arts. Mr Speaker, to protect intellectual property and artistic works, Government enacted the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights (Amendment) Act, 2025. Government also established the Uganda Creatives Revolving Fund to provide affordable financing to SACCOs in the creative economy. By December 2025, approximately Shs 18.99 billion had been disbursed to 50 SACCOs of musicians, benefitting 3,047 individuals, of whom 62 per cent are youth and 43 per cent are women. Government is also finalising the acquisition of a dedicated home for creative

Thank you, Hon. Gabriel Okumu, for representing the Chairperson, Committee on Foreign Affairs. Honourable colleagues, I shall be appointing the date for debate. Read through the report so that you can prepare. Honourable colleagues, in the public gallery this afternoon, we have choir members from Queen of Angels, Kirowooza SubParish, Namilyango Parish in Mukono District. They are represented by Hon. Betty Nambooze and Hon. Hanifa Nabukeera. They have come to observe the proceedings of this House. Please, join me in welcoming them. (Applause) Hon. Lucy, I hope they are yours – because I see choir members.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I appreciate both reports – the minority and the main report. My concern is on Kome Island, in particular, in Mukono District. In Kome Island, we have a health centre II, but due to the growing population, we request for a health centre III. More to that, I want to urge and support the Government to put more money on the medical supplies, most especially the medicines. This is because as much as we have the health centres II, there are no medicines in those health centres. My request is for Kome Island to have a health centre III. Thank you so much, Mr Speaker.

Recommendations i. Ministry of Agriculhtre, Anlmal Industry and. Pisherles and the Cttg authorltles should. uork towards the expedltious completion oJ the new Jacilitg. il. The slaughter House in Kiryateete East should be closed lmmediatelg the neu facilitg is compteted and stq.rts operdtion. 6.5 Masindi District The Masindi Abattoir is located along Masindr-Kafu Road. The structure is in a poor state, with cracks on the slaughter slab, stained walls with a lot of decay, poor drainage and waste disposal. At the time of the oversight, 5.00p.m, it had rained and therefore the place was clogged with water and smelly hides. Generally there is need to overhaul the structure to achieve public health standards of clean meat and a modern municipal abattoir. 6.6 Mukono District The Committee visited one slaughter house in Mukono; Kamme Valley Slaughter House. Kamme Valley Slaughter House is a privately owned slaughter house that operates in a government owned market known as Kamme Market in Mukono Municipality. It is the main and biggest slaughter house in Mukono District. Mukono District has about five other privately owned slaughter slabs in the five sub counties. 6.7 Jinja City The Committee visited the Jinja City abattoir which is a government facility located in Jinja Southern Division. There are four privately owned slaughter slabs in Jinja City. The Jinja City abattoir was constructed around 1950, hence quite colonial and in dilapidated state. As seen in Fig. l, the abattoir was under renovation by the city council at the time of the committee visit. L4 sn

Hon. Ssimbwa, just a minute. In the public gallery this afternoon, we have students and teachers from Goodmark Secondary School, located in Mukono District. They are represented by Hon. Abdallah Kiwanuka and Hon. Hanifa Nabukeera. Hon. Hanifa, they are there. Greet them.

15095 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA WEDNESDAY, 23 OCTOBER 2024 informed the committee that whereas the entity requested Shs 1,122,022,625 for wages, Shs 5,560,783,170 was released to the district, as per the auditor’s analysis, hence resulting in some funds not being absorbed. Similarly, Kitgum District Local Government received a supplementary funding of Shs 2,855,427,080 which was not requested by the accounting officer and out of it, Shs 1,914,099,546 was not utilised by the entity. Committee observation Madam Speaker, the committee observed that: i. Most local governments were unable to carry out the planned activities because they did not get all the funds from the approved budget. ii. The Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, in some instances, released funds to entities over and above what was requested by the entities. iii. The Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, in some cases, released funds late to entities. Several entities informed the committee that funds were received at the end of the last quarter of the financial year, which made absorption of the same impossible. Committee recommendation The committee recommended, Madam Speaker: i. An investigation should be carried out on why the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development releases funds over and above what has been requested by the entities. ii. Accounting officers should follow up with the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development on the shortfalls affecting service delivery. Madam Speaker, we looked at the utilisation of warrants. The Auditor-General noted that there was under-utilisation of warrants, which affected performance as planned activities were either partially implemented or not implemented at all. The accounting officers explained that much of the unobserved funds were meant for planned recruitment, which did not materialise due to a ban on recruitment. That was issued by the Government, while others did not have functional district service commissions, for instance, Mukono District Local Government. They also explained that there was also a delayed procurement process due to the hybrid procurement process, which the entities had no control over, as it was handled by the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF). MAAIF delayed to provide the pre- qualified list of service providers. The accounting officers also attributed the underutilisation of funds to the delayed release of funds by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MoFPED), as most funds were released in the last month of the financial year. Accounting officers from some entities informed the committee that they received funds over and above what they had requested, which they could not absorb. For instance, the Accounting Officer of Butambala District Local Government, as I read earlier, and all those. Committee observations Madam Speaker, the committee observed that: i. Whereas the Ministry of Finance did not release all the funds budgeted for, most entities did not utilise the warrants, which greatly affected the implementation of plan activities. ii. The unspent balances were attributed to a number of factors, including failure to recruit due to the ban on recruitment,

14677 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA WEDNESDAY, 2 OCTOBER 2024 No! The constitutional ruling of Sam Kutesa provided that a body, which is not duly constituted cannot function as a body. How do you vote? Therefore, this is where we are taking you on. We would like you to provide this House with information that you are not sleeping on the job because almost every district - like Mukono District, which she was talking about, had the same problem. If you go to Kyankwanzi, they have four -

Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I was on the humanitarian assistance that has so far been provided. I did mention that; b) The Office of the Prime Minister provided relief food items, 40 tons of maize flour, 20 tons of beans, and 250 tarpaulins. c) Uganda Red Cross Society provided non-food items, which include blankets, saucepans, plates, tarpaulins, and other items; energy-saving stoves, and solar lights to support the victims. d) The Rt Hon. Prime Minister visited the site and provided Shs 200,000 shillings to each individual of 54 beneficiaries who are currently in emergency shelters. e) The President provided Shs 5 million to each household that lost a person and Shs 1 million per injured person. f) Mortuary services and care are being handled by the Government and the services are free of charge. g) Owino Traders under KCCA donated food and non-food items, sacks of clothes, bags, shoes, sanitary towels, and matooke. Preventive and mitigation measures: 1. The Government is to fast-track the opening up of another landfill site in Menvu, Nansana and other areas which have been identified; this is still a process. 2. A radius of 200 meters is to be preserved as a buffer zone to avoid the reoccurrence of the disaster as the field has already been identified as having some cracks. As a measure to avoid a similar incidence, we have gazetted an area of 200 metres. 3. The Flattening of the garbage hill to stabilize the landfill is ongoing. As I speak to you, the engineers and a team from KCCA are already on the ground handling that. The short-term requirements. 1. Recovery efforts are ongoing. We are working day and night to ensure that we recover the bodies; 2. A comprehensive assessment of persons displaced and affected is ongoing; 3. Mapping and registration of households at risk of relocation, as per the President’s directive; 4. Coordination of Humanitarian Partner Agencies, is also ongoing; and being managed under the Office of the Prime Minister; 5. Urgent negotiations on alternative waste disposal sites to mitigate the impending waste crisis and the proposed sites have also been identified. A team was dispatched to go and ascertain the viability of different sites that include; Menvu in Nansana, Wakiso District, the four acres that are still in Kiteezi to be utilised, Dundu, Mukono District, Nkumba, Kyengera, and Nabugabo Updeal; 6. Provide security for the persons at the resettlement camp. The Police and the military are stationed to provide security for people who are settled in the camps.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I represent Mukono North which is 22 kilometres from Kampala via Gayaza Road, when you take that route. The immediate parish is Dundu which borders Mukono and Kira Municipality; it is densely populated. Ten years back KCCA purchased this land, but it very well knew that the area had people. However, they were never notified about their intention to use their land. It was gazetted as a purely residential area and we are imagining shifting disaster from Kampala to our area. We do not know how the Government does its work, but a few weeks back, we were here debating about the possible eviction that happened in Lubigi. Now here is a catastrophic eviction that is happening at Kiteezi. The way forward, honourable minister - Dundu is purely gazetted by Mukono District as a residential area. We are ready to accommodate those people. Shift them to Dundu and retain the land; shift all the machines to Kiteezi, other than shifting the problems. As you are cleaning Kampala, you are making Mukono dirty. We cannot contemplate it and we are not ready to receive and accept your garbage and waste. That is the position of Mukono. It is very unfortunate, Mr Speaker, that we tried several times to engage the minister and the Directors at KCCA - several people, as Hon. Teira has stated, are ready to invest in waste management. They are approaching us but the investment that the Government is willing to accept - for example, in power, the tariff is $0.05. Honourable colleagues, you are well aware that Kakira contributes to the national grid at $0.08. Recently, Karuma was contributing 18 cents. Why is there frustration with this investment at $0.05? You can easily know that-

Thank you, Madam Speaker. In accordance with Rules 187 and 188 of the Rules of Procedure of Parliament of the Republic of Uganda, I hereby designate the Opposition Members to the sectoral committees as follows: Committee on Finance, Planning and Economic Development: 1. Hon. Hanifa Nabukeera of Mukono District; 2. Hon. Kivumbi Muwanga of Butambala; 3. Hon. Flavia Nabagabe of Kassanda District; 4. Hon. Brenda Nabukenya of Luweero; 5. Hon.

Thank you. Honourable members, in the public gallery, we have students and teachers from Nambula High School, Mukono District. They are represented by Hon. Nabukeera Hanifa and Hon. Kiwanuka Abdallah. (Applause) Hon. Hanifa is a very good girl. You are most welcome and thank you so much for coming. Let us have Hon. Loy, Hon. Solomon and Hon. Andrew.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. On 13 July 2023, you guided that a joint statement be made by the Ministry of Water and Environment, Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries and the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development on the status of Namyoya Forest Reserve in Mukono together with the status of the land title bearers on the said land. In the Mukono District Council meeting that sat on 13 December 2013, the council approved a motion of degazetting Kifu, Nabugulu, and Namyoya Central Forest Reserves. Furthermore, in the district council meeting that sat on 28 March 2017, Mukono District Council approved a motion mandating the District Executive Committee to consider offering land to Victorious Car Bond Limited for the development of a High-Tech Industrial Park. The land hosts Kifu, Nabugulu and Namyoya Forest Reserves. The same matter was again discussed in the district council meeting that sat on 29 March 2019 during which the district chairperson moved the motion seeking the council’s approval for degazettement of Kifu, Nabugulu and Namyoya Forest Reserves. [Ms Nabakooba] MINISTERIAL STATEMENT

10821 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA TUESDAY, 31 OCTOBER 2023 The chairperson said that Mukono District Council, in fulfilment of the Government’s goal of transforming Uganda from a peasant economy into a middle-income country as enshrined in Vision 2040, is desirous of offering land for the development of a high-tech park. In addition, the high-tech park is to provide state- of-the-art infrastructures and support facilities including housing services and amenities as a critical part of asset complementariness, employment opportunities for the community and generate local revenue for the district. Subsequently, the council once again approved the motion to degazette the forest reserves. However, it is worth noting that the technical report by the Ministry of Water and Environment on the degazettement of the Namyoya Forest Reserve noted that Mukono District did not meet the procedural and legal requirements and therefore, recommended that the process be halted until the district meets all the requirements for degazettement and gazettement. Mr Speaker, with regard to the status of the land title bearers in Namyoya Forest Reserve as of August 2021, the ministry, through the Office of the Commissioner, Land Registration, issued a notice in the print media on certificates of titles that were erroneously and illegally issued on the land forming part and partial of the central forest reserves in Uganda, Namyoya Forest Reserve inclusive. The issuance of the affirmation titles contravenes Article 237 of the 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda and Section 44 of the Land Act Cap 227. In view of the above, the Executive Director of the National Forestry Authority recommended the cancellation of the certificates of titles for having been illegally issued and wrongfully obtained. The process of cancellation of the land titles is still ongoing. I beg to submit.

Mr Speaker, I am glad that the Prime Minister confirms that Kibalama was arrested in 2019. Of course, as an advocate, that is a very good starting point. (Applause) The Leader of the Government Business is a supervisor of all these agencies and she can trace the people who arrested Kibalama in 2019. If he was burnt in an acid tank, we can take the tank. At least, he was arrested and there is only one agency that can arrest. Therefore, you still have a duty to trace from your arresting agencies, where Kibalama is. I would like to assure you that his blood is on your hands. I have a document on my file, which I submitted on the Floor of Parliament in 2021, including addresses and telephone contacts for every next of kin. I even supplied telephone contacts of the next of kin from whom some state agencies were asking for ransoms to release their family members. Clearly, with the statement saying, on this one, they were demanding for ransom. It is on the record of Parliament. Mr Speaker, before we go into the others that have no record, at least those in the Human Rights Commission record have addresses. In fact, on the day this statement was released, the chairperson purported to say that they were missing some record. The following day, family members delivered National Identification Cards of these missing persons. Hon. Abdallah Kiwanuka, my shadow minister of internal affairs, even offered to deliver the Minister of Security to the home of a one Kanatta Mohammed, who was picked by security in uniform in Walusimbi, Mukono District, 2021. I can recall one by one, so, it is flimsy and it is hiding away from the responsibility of a Government with DISOs, GISOs and PISOs. I even heard that there are now FISOs for families. I know how governments collapse unless we are seeing traits of a collapsing regime that cannot make a trace even with the information of missing citizens. If the minister does not need time to come back here and he has information, we are waiting for it. What we

Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I would like to lay on Table a letter of clearance from the President, as far as this loan is concerned. I want to lay on the Table, the minutes of the committee meetings processing this loan. Mr Speaker, this is the report of the Committee on National Economy on the proposal by Government to borrow up to Special Drawing Rights (SDR) at 374.8 million (equivalent to $518 million) from the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank Group and receive a grant of Special Drawing Rights 34.8 million (equivalent $48 million) from the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank Group, and also borrow up to € 40 million (equivalent to $42.66 million) from the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) to finance the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area Urban Development programme. Mr Speaker, this loan is going to benefit a number of local governments: (a) Kampala Capital City; (b) Makindye-Ssabagabo; (c) Nansana Municipality; (d) Mukono Municipality; (e) Kira Municipality; (f) Wakiso District; (g) Mukono District; (h) Mpigi District, and; (i) Entebbe Municipality. A total of 550 kilometres will be constructed, tarmacked in those various local governments, in addition to other deliveries. In terms of the loan, the $518 million has a grace period of six years and 30 years of maturity. The second loan, which is € 40 million has a grace period of seven years and maturity of 25 years, with interest rate of one per cent. The concessionality of the loan Mr Speaker, the first loan which is € 518 million is highly concessional, at 46 per cent in terms of grant element. The second loan, which is € 40 million is 41 per cent concessional, in terms of grant element at a discount rate of five per cent per annum. In terms of budget implications, the project is included in the Financial Year 2023/2024 approved budget estimates. Economic benefit and return on the project Given that the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area will invest 80 per cent of the loan in mobility, accessibility and connectivity, the benefit-cost ratio for the programme at a 12 per cent discount rate is calculated to be 5.7, and net present value (NPV) - so the loan has a higher rate of return. In terms of project implementation arrangement, it is going to be a central coordination team involving different local governments, in addition to the Ministry of Local Government and Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA). The loan current debt situation Mr Speaker, the loan will definitely impact our current debt situation, but at a later date we shall present performance of loans and the other issues.

9807 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA WEDNESDAY, 16 AUGUST 2023 going to give it enough time so we can do a thorough job.

Mr Speaker, I acknowledge the report of the honourable minister. However, I would like to say that his orders are appreciated but he should understand that orders on actions illegally done really do not matter; an illegality with or without an order is an illegality. We wait for action on the officers that manhandled these honourable Members of Parliament. Mr Speaker, for the record, the Members are 11 and I want this to be on record so that when we are looking for culprits, they know the victims are known: i. Hon. Joan Namutaawe, Woman MP of Masaka District; ii. Hon. Betty Ethel Naluyima, Woman MP of Wakiso District; iii. Hon. Juliet Kakande Nakabuye, Woman MP of Masaka City; iv. Hon. Manjeri Kyebakutika Woman MP of Jinja City and Deputy Opposition Chief Whip; v. Hon. Nyakato Asinansi, Woman MP of Hoima City; vi. Hon. Joyce Bagala Ntwatwa, Woman MP of Mityana District; vii. Hon. Florence Kabugho, Woman MP of Kasese; viii. Hon. Stella Isodo Apolot, Woman MP Ngora District; ix. Hon. Helen Nakimuli, Woman MP of Kalangala District; x. Hon. Hanifa Nabukeera Woman MP of Mukono District; and xi. Hon. Joan Acom Alobo, Woman MP Soroti City. Mr Speaker, this comes against the backdrop of what you explained in your opening statements that honourable members had lodged a petition to the Speaker over this mistreatment. Mr Speaker, they logged the complaint in their own right. That complaint is not a legal battle, but a public demonstration of their dissatisfaction.
