“The rainstorm was heavy in the area of Naibowa, a parish in Butansi Subcounty in Kamuli District.”

Thank you, Mr Speaker. On the 5 th of this month, there was a heavy downpour. The rainstorm was heavy in the area of Naibowa, a parish in Butansi Subcounty in Kamuli District. More than 50 homesteads, gardens, and people’s animals were destroyed. There is a lady who is near there, who is a traditional healer, who took advantage of those families that got affected; those with wounds, and broken limbs because of the downpour, so she is hosting and treating them because the number was too big to be accommodated in Kamuli Hospital. There is a lot that is going on there, Mr Speaker. The families in the small villages of Bulyampanda, Butimbo, and Buluke in that parish are really struggling and suffering. My prayer is that the Office of the Prime Minister could come to the rescue of these people and help them with some food. At the same time, most of these structures that were destroyed require some iron sheets and some help. The Office of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Disaster Preparedness could come to the rescue of these people and help them.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. The project objective is to support the Government of Uganda’s effort to achieve sustainable provision of safe water and hygienic sanitation for the urban population by the year 2030. The project will improve the quality of service and the supply of water and sanitation facilities, as well as enhance the management and functioning of water supply and sanitation systems in the targeted towns in Uganda. The primary beneficiaries of the project would be residents of four selected cluster project areas in different regions of the country. The identified clusters are: Nakasongola Phase II cluster (Nakasongola District), Kamuli- Kasambira Phase II cluster (Kamuli District), Mayuge-Bugadde (Mayuge District) - Idudi- Busesa (Bugweri District) cluster, and Alebtong cluster (Alebtong District). The project comprises three major components, namely, i) Urban water supply infrastructure development; ii) Urban sanitation infrastructure development; and iii) Project management. The project will cost Euro 221.682 million and will be financed by; i) Sinosure Backed Term loan facility from Standard Chartered Bank of up to Euros 183,309,947, Domestic borrowing of 120.395 billion (six-month Treasury Bill), an equivalent of Euros 29.572; and ii) Government counterpart funding of Euros 8.8 million, which will be spread over five years of implementation. The counterpart funding will cover the project’s running costs (recurrent costs), land acquisition for infrastructure development, programme coordination, and joint monitoring and evaluation.

Read the full speech, word for word
13058 SECTORAL COMMITTEE REPORTS Regulatory function Madam Speaker, you are alive to the fact that a number of Members have submitted to this House matters of national importance concerning money lenders, who storm lower local governments and defraud our people, including taking their national IDs. For instance, in this House last year, Hon. Henry Kibalya, the MP for Bugabula South in Kamuli District, submitted to this House a report on the dubious acts of money lenders in his constituency. While these issues have been raised in the House, the supposed regulator went silent as the loot continued. Additionally, while UMRA was also intended to support SACCOs, the Ugandan SACCOs have been on their own. If it was not for the work of commercial officers in local governments, the SACCOs would have fallen into the temptation of defrauding Ugandans as well. There is no sign that UMRA, in its current state, will rise up to the task and be effective and efficient. For instance, one does not need money to issue a statement to the public and, so, the excuse of limited funding as a justification for inaction cannot suffice. (Applause) Lending rates While Section 90 of the Tier 4 Microfinance Institutions and Money Lenders Act, 2016 stipulates that the minister (with guidance by UMRA) shall set the guidelines for lending rates, UMRA has continuously advised to the contrary and has, therefore, made it impossible for lending rates to be regulated. As a result, some lenders charge up to 30 per cent per month. This is 360 per cent per annum, the highest in the world. The exploitation must stop, Madam Speaker. The majority opinion recognised this anomaly, but was shy to give a befitting recommendation. Administrative processes of rationalisation Madam Speaker, the majority opinion has pitched justification on the cost and process of administering rationalisation, rather than the efficiency in the outputs expected of a regulator. Therefore, in our opinion, this Parliament should not be burdened by the administrative processes of rationalisation, for example, settlement of staff, obligation and the cost of deployment, as this is a role the Executive can execute effectively. To assume that the Ministry of Finance, Planning, and Economic Development cannot handle these administrative processes is to undermine the basic capacity of any Government ministry in Uganda. Rationalisation of a supposed regulator While it might look unthinkable to rationalise a regulator, however, over the years and prior to 2016, all ministries that had a regulatory function did have departments in charge of regulation. For instance, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development has continued to effectively regulate the mining sector, a sector more highly rated in terms of net value than even the micro lending sector. This is evidence that a Government ministry can carry out this function with ease, without the excessive expenditure. Recommendations 1. UMRA be mainstreamed into the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. 2. Section 90 of the principal Act be amended by replacing “the Minister regulating the maximum interest rate” with “The interest rate to be charged by a moneylender shall not exceed eight per cent per month, equivalent to 96 per cent per annum as a maximum” – because it has been clearly demonstrated that this sector cannot be regulated by anyone. So, the law must be put to use. Conclusion Madam Speaker, the rationalisation plan is meant to improve efficiency, eliminate duplication and enhance cost-saving on the Government. The opportunity has come for us, not only to achieve these rationalisation objectives, but also to sanitise the micro- THE TIER 4 MICRO-FINANCE INSTITUTIONS AND MONEY LENDERS (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2024 [Ms Nakut]

11098 MINISTERIAL STATEMENT The Kampala-Jinja section will include eight lanes for the first three kilometres and six lanes for the next 17 kilometres and four lanes for the remaining 54 kilometres. The Kampala Southern Bypass will have four lanes for 20 kilometres connecting the Northern Bypass at Namboole National Stadium to Entebbe Expressway Spur at Munyonyo. The Kampala-Jinja Expressway Project is to be undertaken as a Public Private Partnership (PPP)in accordance with the PPP Act, 2015. The private partner will finance, design, construct, operate and maintain the road for 30 years. The procurement process for the right private sector partner is ongoing and is expected to be completed by the end of this financial year. Once the procurement is done, the works will commence after the developer has secured the private capital required for the construction works. The construction period is planned to take five years. In preparation for the construction works, the Government of Uganda is currently acquiring the land for the project. So far, the land required for 44 kilometres has been acquired. This includes 14 kilometres along the Southern Bypass and 30 kilometres along the Kampala- Jinja main line. The progress of the compensation has been slowed down by some challenges, for example, lack of ownership documents and contestation of ownership. By December 2024, the Government targets to have acquired the full section from Kampala to Namagunga and the whole Kampala Southern Bypass. The rest of the land from Namagunga to Jinja is planned to be acquired by December 2025. In the meantime, the Government will continue to maintain the existing Kampala-Jinja Road in a motorable condition and to ensure the smooth flow of traffic along that route. I would like to assure you and the public that the Government of Uganda is committed to ensuring that the Kampala-Jinja Expressway Project is implemented to improve efficiency of Uganda’s transport infrastructure. Hon. Henry-Maurice Kibalya, Member of Parliament, Bugabula County South. He raised a matter concerning a group of people that migrated and settled in Namwenda Subcounty dealing in moneylending business and harassing members of the community. His prayer is that: Can the Prime Minister inform him whether the Government is aware of these moneylenders in Kamuli? Madam Speaker, Kamuli is one of the districts in Busoga Subregion. It has 14 subcounties and four counties. Some of the subcounties are Namwendwa, Nawanyango, Kisozi, Bulawoli, Kisambira and Mbulamuti. The four constituencies are Bugabula North, Bugabula South, Buzaaya and Kamuli Municipality. The total population is approximately 446,000 people. The main economic activity is farming and the main crops grown are sugarcane and rice. The people need money to boost their farming activities, thus they need to get loans from moneylenders. Madam Speaker, there are 32 registered moneylenders in Kamuli District. They demand for the borrower’s national ID as part of security for the loan. Other lenders demand for household items such as chairs, fridges, etc. In case of defaulting in making payments, they grab the properties and, in some instances, illegally detain them. I have attached a list of moneylenders in Kamuli District. Madam Speaker, the district security committee embarked on a mass sensitisation to the locals to desist from using national IDs as collateral to reinforce the guidance recently given by the [Ms Nabbanja] PRIME MINISTER’S TIME

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I thank the honourable minister for the statement. In the Financial Year 2020/2023 budget, there was money – (Break in recording.) As Kamuli District, we received Shs 6 billion. However, because there was a mandatory contribution of 25 per cent, half of the money came back to the Centre. Our appeal is that the 25 per cent is high. We should reduce it because irrigating our crops is very important, yet our people cannot afford it. Secondly, honourable minister, as you talk about water, in most of our schools, the population is high and they share boreholes with the communities. This is becoming a bit of a problem. We could put tanks in these schools, harvest water and save a lot of money and time. This would also solve the burden of students going out of the school premises to fetch water. I thank you, Mr Speaker.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I recall vividly that the Ministry of Local Government procured stamps, and honourable is not raising it for the first time because even Hon. Muzaale of Buzaaya County, Kamuli District, rose on the same issue, but we advised their chief administrative officers to write to us. We handle official matters formally. For those who wrote to us, the permanent secretary ordered their stamps from the Government printers and they received them. Once again, I beg that the Chief Administrative Officer of Tororo writes to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Local Government. Thank you.

A member reminded Parliament that the Executive has historically dominated budgeting, making Parliament a rubber stamp. He urged that the Public Finance Management Act should give Parliament real influence, not just approval, and warned that the current process may lack legitimacy.
Summary written by a computer
Read the full speech, word for word
Thank you, Madam Speaker, for the compliment. I want to take us down memory lane. Before the enactment of the Budget Act and its successor, the Public Finance Management Act, 2015, the Parliament, including the Sixth Parliament, faced a dilemma where the Executive would arm-twist the Parliament to rubber-stamp the approval of the Appropriations Bill. You will allow me to read verbatim a statement that was made by the mover of the motion, who sponsored and introduced a private Member’s Bill entitled, the Budget Bill. The then Member of Buzaaya - and I salute him; Hon. Isaac Musumba - had this to say when he was moving the motion on Wednesday, 17 November 1999, “The budgeting process must, by its nature, involve all early consensus between the Executive and the Legislature. In the present situation…” - and that was 1999 - “…the budgeting process is basically a preserve of the Executive, leaving the legislature as a mere rubber stamp of what the Executive presents. Allocation of the national resources is made between alternatives and priorities, as seen and determined by the Executive only but the Constitution imposes a timeframe within which the process of budgeting and the appropriation of funds must be completed. Time and again, this House has been forced to hurriedly pass Appropriation Bills, lest we have a constitutional crisis.” Madam Speaker, it is 25 years down the road and the Executive is taking Uganda back to where it was in the Sixth Parliament. The import of the Public Finance Management Act was to involve Parliament in the budgeting process beyond mere rubber stamping the Executive’s proposals. Madam Speaker, that is why when it talks of “approval”, there is another verb; “consideration”. That is where I salute the Chairperson of the Committee on Budget when he talked of harmonisation, consolidation, and the other word - reconciliation. But we are not here merely when they bring a proposal and the proposals are brought like this one, that the House must only be subjected to approval. Far from it, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I thank you and still want to go on record to say that you have conducted and presided over the House in a very prudent way, but I highly doubt whether the process that we are being subjected to will have legitimacy. History may, actually, harshly pass judgment against us, Madam Speaker. THE MINISTER, OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT (SECURITY) (Maj. Gen. (Rtd) Jim Muhwezi): Thank you, Madam Speaker, and I thank Hon. Nambeshe for bringing the House to order because when he was talking, we gave him time to talk and listened. This is what it should be. I wanted to say that having listened to all the discussions, what Hon. Nambeshe has just said has taken place because when the Executive brings its proposals of a budget, the process, as was explained by the chairman, I think of the budget committee, through the sectoral

Bugabula County South
A member said money lenders in Bugabula South defraud people, even taking IDs, and that the regulator UMRA has failed to stop high interest rates and protect local SACCOs. The member urged Parliament to act against this exploitation.
Summary written by a computer

13058 SECTORAL COMMITTEE REPORTS Regulatory function Madam Speaker, you are alive to the fact that a number of Members have submitted to this House matters of national importance concerning money lenders, who storm lower local governments and defraud our people, including taking their national IDs. For instance, in this House last year, Hon. Henry Kibalya, the MP for Bugabula South in Kamuli District, submitted to this House a report on the dubious acts of money lenders in his constituency. While these issues have been raised in the House, the supposed regulator went silent as the loot continued. Additionally, while UMRA was also intended to support SACCOs, the Ugandan SACCOs have been on their own. If it was not for the work of commercial officers in local governments, the SACCOs would have fallen into the temptation of defrauding Ugandans as well. There is no sign that UMRA, in its current state, will rise up to the task and be effective and efficient. For instance, one does not need money to issue a statement to the public and, so, the excuse of limited funding as a justification for inaction cannot suffice. (Applause) Lending rates While Section 90 of the Tier 4 Microfinance Institutions and Money Lenders Act, 2016 stipulates that the minister (with guidance by UMRA) shall set the guidelines for lending rates, UMRA has continuously advised to the contrary and has, therefore, made it impossible for lending rates to be regulated. As a result, some lenders charge up to 30 per cent per month. This is 360 per cent per annum, the highest in the world. The exploitation must stop, Madam Speaker. The majority opinion recognised this anomaly, but was shy to give a befitting recommendation. Administrative processes of rationalisation Madam Speaker, the majority opinion has pitched justification on the cost and process of administering rationalisation, rather than the efficiency in the outputs expected of a regulator. Therefore, in our opinion, this Parliament should not be burdened by the administrative processes of rationalisation, for example, settlement of staff, obligation and the cost of deployment, as this is a role the Executive can execute effectively. To assume that the Ministry of Finance, Planning, and Economic Development cannot handle these administrative processes is to undermine the basic capacity of any Government ministry in Uganda. Rationalisation of a supposed regulator While it might look unthinkable to rationalise a regulator, however, over the years and prior to 2016, all ministries that had a regulatory function did have departments in charge of regulation. For instance, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development has continued to effectively regulate the mining sector, a sector more highly rated in terms of net value than even the micro lending sector. This is evidence that a Government ministry can carry out this function with ease, without the excessive expenditure. Recommendations 1. UMRA be mainstreamed into the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. 2. Section 90 of the principal Act be amended by replacing “the Minister regulating the maximum interest rate” with “The interest rate to be charged by a moneylender shall not exceed eight per cent per month, equivalent to 96 per cent per annum as a maximum” – because it has been clearly demonstrated that this sector cannot be regulated by anyone. So, the law must be put to use. Conclusion Madam Speaker, the rationalisation plan is meant to improve efficiency, eliminate duplication and enhance cost-saving on the Government. The opportunity has come for us, not only to achieve these rationalisation objectives, but also to sanitise the micro- THE TIER 4 MICRO-FINANCE INSTITUTIONS AND MONEY LENDERS (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2024 [Ms Nakut]

12568 SECTORAL COMMITTEE REPORTS The Petroleum Authority of Uganda also wants to do a real-time monitoring centre so that they know the amount of oil being pumped at any one time. The committee recommends that Government allocates additional Shs 50.7 billion to enable the Petroleum Authority of Uganda to develop the real time monitoring centre. On the disaster recovery solution, the committee recommends that the Government allocates an additional Shs 8.15 billion to enable power to develop the disaster recovery solution. Mr Speaker, those are the recommendations on the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development. I now move to the Ministry of Water and Environment. Allow me also to premise my presentation by saying that water is life. There is a lot of contamination of the waters that we drink. If you go to developed countries, you find that you can drink water directly from a tap. We cannot do that here in Uganda. Our focus was drawn to the contamination going on in Lake Victoria and the need to establish a quality laboratory to assess whether we are drinking arsenic, lithium, or whatever chemicals that are entering Lake Victoria, which will have adverse health effects in our lives in the near future. The observations under this sector include: Mainstreaming climate change and implementation of the Climate Change Act, 2021. We recommend that the Government provides Shs 10.9 billion to the climate change department under the ministry to enable implementation of the Climate Change Act. On carbon trading mechanisms, our recommendations are that: (i) Government should implement a centralised platform for collecting and storing emissions data from regulated entities, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and accessibility of information. (ii) Government should provide training, technical assistance, and capacity-building programmes to empower regulators, market operators, and market participants with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate carbon markets effectively. (iii) Government should develop electronic trading platforms and market infrastructure to facilitate the buying, selling and trading of carbon credits. (iv) Government should allocate resources towards development of the carbon trading policy and regulations. The next is the need to support rural water project-source per village as directed by His Excellency the President. Our recommendation agrees with him that Government should provide Shs 50 billion to support improvement of water storage and network expansion countrywide. Strategic towns, water supply and sanitation project Key towns where this project is being implemented include Kamuli Municipality, Kyenjojo - Katooke, Buikwe, Dokolo, Kyenjojo Town Council and Katooke Town Council. Our recommendation is that Governments should provide Shs 12 billion as counterpart financing. Mr Speaker, you talked about this earlier on required for this project. Failure to provide this funding will result into penalties on the side of Government. Inadequate budgetary allocation to Service Coverage Acceleration Project (SCAP 100- Umbrellas)

The funds will be used to improve water storage and network expansion countrywide. This will make the network more economically viable and serve more people from the available sources. It will also increase the number of sources per village under the rural water component. Recommendation: . Government should provide UGX. 5O billion to support improvement of water storage and network expansion countr5mide.

However, project implementation continues to be affected due to lack of counterpart funding. This will escalate the cost of the project implementation due to penalties arising from delayed payment of contractors. The Committee was informed that the Ministry requires additional funding of UGX. 12 billion to meet the counterpart funding obligations to increase the network coverage in the towns under implementation which include the following; Kamuli Municipality, Kyenjojo-Katooke, Buikwe, Dokolo, Kyenjojo town council and Katooke Town Council. \ -l I , rx \ Y Y .r. h d' 32

12424 MOTION FOR A RESOLUTION Government should instead focus on addressing the challenges associated with spending local revenues at source by, for example, enforcing its policy reform to address capacity gaps, incompetence and corruption in local government. The committee also takes note of the fact that Parliament has time and again expressed the need to review the seemingly contradictory legal frameworks, but Ministry of Finance has not taken concrete steps to reverse the status quo. Committee recommendations 1. Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development should withdraw the directive to local governments to remit local revenues collected by the local governments to the Consolidated Fund in line with Section 29(1) and (3) of the Public Finance Management Act. And local governments be allowed to collect, manage and spend the local revenues from a general fund account maintained at the district level in accordance with Section 80 to 82 of the Local Governments Act and other relevant laws. 2. The Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development and Ministry of Local Government expedites the process of addressing the shortcomings associated with the collection and management of local revenues at source by local governments before and at the end of the calendar year 2024. This is to aid the local governments in handling their local revenues. Under Markets and Agriculture Trade Improvements Programme (MATIP) 3 Committee observations i. All the markets built under Markets and Agriculture Trade Improvements Programme MATIP 1 and 2 are complete and functional. ii. There has been significant economic improvement and household income in the areas where the MATIP markets have been constructed. iii. There are design challenges and gaps in the completed MATIP markets that are posing serious challenges to the vendors in those markets. iv. Functionality and utilisation in some markets remain poor, for example, in Busia Municipality, where the market is functioning at about 30 per cent. v. Some cities are highly populated, hence overcrowding in the constructed markets. vi. The MATIP markets are concentrated majorly in cities and municipalities, leaving out town councils that are highly populated and require such facilities. Recommendations 1. Funds be availed for the additional eight markets under MATIP 3. 2. In addition to the eight markets, Ministry of Local Government should include Kaliro Town Council, Kamuli Municipality, Adjumani Town Council and an additional market for Gulu City. 3. Ministry of Local Government should carry out a detailed technical assessment of the constructed markets with a view of correcting the defects and design errors therein. 4. Ministry of Local Government should use the existing markets and the challenges observed in their operationalisation to inform the design for the plan of MATIP 3 markets. 5. Ministry of Local Government should pay attention during the design phase and all the consultants accountable for any design flaws. Remuneration of leaders Madam Speaker, the committee observed that local service delivery and overall development across the country is greatly dependent on motivated and well-facilitated political leaders who carry out monitoring, oversight, legislation and executive functions in local governments.

11098 MINISTERIAL STATEMENT The Kampala-Jinja section will include eight lanes for the first three kilometres and six lanes for the next 17 kilometres and four lanes for the remaining 54 kilometres. The Kampala Southern Bypass will have four lanes for 20 kilometres connecting the Northern Bypass at Namboole National Stadium to Entebbe Expressway Spur at Munyonyo. The Kampala-Jinja Expressway Project is to be undertaken as a Public Private Partnership (PPP)in accordance with the PPP Act, 2015. The private partner will finance, design, construct, operate and maintain the road for 30 years. The procurement process for the right private sector partner is ongoing and is expected to be completed by the end of this financial year. Once the procurement is done, the works will commence after the developer has secured the private capital required for the construction works. The construction period is planned to take five years. In preparation for the construction works, the Government of Uganda is currently acquiring the land for the project. So far, the land required for 44 kilometres has been acquired. This includes 14 kilometres along the Southern Bypass and 30 kilometres along the Kampala- Jinja main line. The progress of the compensation has been slowed down by some challenges, for example, lack of ownership documents and contestation of ownership. By December 2024, the Government targets to have acquired the full section from Kampala to Namagunga and the whole Kampala Southern Bypass. The rest of the land from Namagunga to Jinja is planned to be acquired by December 2025. In the meantime, the Government will continue to maintain the existing Kampala-Jinja Road in a motorable condition and to ensure the smooth flow of traffic along that route. I would like to assure you and the public that the Government of Uganda is committed to ensuring that the Kampala-Jinja Expressway Project is implemented to improve efficiency of Uganda’s transport infrastructure.

It has 14 subcounties and four counties. Some of the subcounties are Namwendwa, Nawanyango, Kisozi, Bulawoli, Kisambira and Mbulamuti.

The main economic activity is farming and the main crops grown are sugarcane and rice. The people need money to boost their farming activities, thus they need to get loans from moneylenders. Madam Speaker, there are 32 registered moneylenders in Kamuli District. They demand for the borrower’s national ID as part of security for the loan. Other lenders demand for household items such as chairs, fridges, etc. In case of defaulting in making payments, they grab the properties and, in some instances, illegally detain them.

The procurement process for the right private sector partner is ongoing and is expected to be completed by the end of this financial year. Once the procurement is done, the works will commence after the developer has secured the private capital required for the construction works. The construction period is planned to take five years. In preparation for the construction works, the Government of Uganda is currently acquiring the land for the project. So far, the land required for 44 kilometres has been acquired. This includes 14 kilometres along the Southern Bypass and 30 kilometres along the Kampala- Jinja main line. The progress of the compensation has been slowed down by some challenges, for example, lack of ownership documents and contestation of ownership. By December 2024, the Government targets to have acquired the full section from Kampala to Namagunga and the whole Kampala Southern Bypass. The rest of the land from Namagunga to Jinja is planned to be acquired by December 2025. In the meantime, the Government will continue to maintain the existing Kampala-Jinja Road in a motorable condition and to ensure the smooth flow of traffic along that route. I would like to assure you and the public that the Government of Uganda is committed to ensuring that the Kampala-Jinja Expressway Project is implemented to improve efficiency of Uganda’s transport infrastructure. Hon. Henry-Maurice Kibalya, Member of Parliament, Bugabula County South. He raised a matter concerning a group of people that migrated and settled in Namwenda Subcounty dealing in moneylending business and harassing members of the community. His prayer is that: Can the Prime Minister inform him whether the Government is aware of these moneylenders in Kamuli? Madam Speaker, Kamuli is one of the districts in Busoga Subregion. It has 14 subcounties and four counties. Some of the subcounties are Namwendwa, Nawanyango, Kisozi, Bulawoli, Kisambira and Mbulamuti. The four constituencies are Bugabula North, Bugabula South, Buzaaya and Kamuli Municipality. The total population is approximately 446,000 people. The main economic activity is farming and the main crops grown are sugarcane and rice. The people need money to boost their farming activities, thus they need to get loans from moneylenders. Madam Speaker, there are 32 registered moneylenders in Kamuli District. They demand for the borrower’s national ID as part of security for the loan. Other lenders demand for household items such as chairs, fridges, etc. In case of defaulting in making payments, they grab the properties and, in some instances, illegally detain them. I have attached a list of moneylenders in Kamuli District. Madam Speaker, the district security committee embarked on a mass sensitisation to the locals to desist from using national IDs as collateral to reinforce the guidance recently given by the [Ms Nabbanja] PRIME MINISTER’S TIME

The Kampala Southern Bypass will have four lanes for 20 kilometres connecting the Northern Bypass at Namboole National Stadium to Entebbe Expressway Spur at Munyonyo.

10864 STANDING COMMITTEE REPORT together to see that we address most of the issues, which have been raised in the report. We shall be engaging with the sectoral and relevant committees that do the budgeting so that we address these gaps. To quickly comment on some of the specific issues raised by the honourable members, there is a Member who raised an issue about a conference, which is yet to take place where issues of LGBTQ, abortion and others will surface. Our position remains the same. We respect the values for which we stand. We do not believe in and support homosexuality and other related vices, and we do not believe in abortion. Therefore, our stand is very clear. The stand of Parliament, as articulated through the passing of the law, remains the stand of the Government of Uganda. Therefore, even when we go for these international meetings, our stand remains extremely clear and we articulate it. (Applause) We have taken note of the specific concerns raised in the debate; we may not be able to respond to each and every issue. Like the issue raised by Hon. Okot-Ogong regarding the ex- gratia support pledged to the Amuka fighters as well as the Arrow Boys, that will be followed. Hon. Huda Oleru has made a comment on it. There is an issue of payment of scientists raised by Hon. Kaberuka. To clarify; the position of Government is that we intend to enhance the pay of all workers but we began with the scientists. In the next phase, we shall bring on board those who did arts and humanities – (Interjection)– Yes, my friend there is laughing. The first phase covered the scientists who include science teachers. Later, the rest of the public servants will also have their pay enhanced. We have communicated this to the public – (Interjections) – No, the enhancement was not only for science teachers but for scientists in Government, including science teachers. Government’s intention is not to cause segregation. We do not promote that war of scientists versus non-scientists. Those who are not scientists have not been forgotten, but we call for patience because they will be considered in the next phase. This also goes to address what he raised that the medical workers in the prisons service have not had their salaries enhanced. I think this willbe addressed to the Minister of Public Service to make sure that it is corrected. The enhancement was for scientists across board, including those in the armed forces. The issue raised by Hon. Muzaale of Buzaaya County about his mistreatment by the law enforcement agents - Multiplex Limited, we shall raise this with the Minister of Kampala, maybe, to cause a meeting with Multiplex Limited so that they can handle people in a humane way. Even when I owe you parking fees, you should not mishandle me. Not only MPs, but all Ugandans should be handled in a humane manner when they are recovering their payments. (Applause) Otherwise, we do not accept that somebody should be roughed up. Like you said, Mr Speaker, non-payment could be due to different reasons and not because somebody is refusing to pay. Mr Speaker, you clarified on the percentages of the employment opportunities in UNOC. It is true that northern Uganda, for reasons well known to us - because of the war and the civil strife, which was in the region for over 20 years - created a situation where the region lagged behind in terms of development indicators. However, the Government is committed to ensuring that we have accelerated transformation in the region. That is why there are special programmes, which have been designed. Indeed, if you take a scholarly approach, there is what we call the Gini coefficient, which measures inequality. The gap has been narrowing. The north gradually is catching up

Read the full speech, word for word
Thank you, Mr Speaker. I would like to appreciate the detailed submission by the honourable minister. I have two or three observations to make. One, when COVID-19 struck, this country spent a substantial amount of money to deal with the COVID-19 problem, including us accessing our funds at the IMF. I thank the minister and the team for really dealing with the matter and now we have a near-normalised situation. My concern, though, is that money has been spent on buying vaccines and, according to the report by the minister, these vaccines are scheduled to expire in 2024. At the same time, the acceptance rate of vaccinations has gone down. Mr Speaker, this is on account of the suspicions around the side effects of the vaccines. European Parliament as well as the USA and the subject matter experts have indicated that these vaccines have problems. This informa - tion is on Youtube. In fact, the European Union is now asking its nationals and medics to re - move the vaccines from shelves. Yet, here the minister is saying we should continue with vaccination. Mr Speaker, can the minister give us assur - ance that they fully understand the side effects of these vaccines and that as a country, we are safe? The second issue - (Member timed out.) MR JOHN TEIRA (NRM, Bugabula Coun - ty North, Kamuli ) Thank you, Mr Speaker. I also thank the honourable minister for the re - port. It is the policy of Government under the Ministry of Health to have a health centre IV at constituency level. One of the challenges we experienced during COVID-19 was the ambulance services. There are many constituencies that have not yet benefited from this policy because of the usu - al financial constraints. What is the status of the ambulance service to the already existing health centres III, which support these constit - uencies? In particular, Bugabula North Con - stituency should be one of the areas of priority because it is a hard-to-reach area due to its ter - rain. Thank you.

We have already qualified to participate and I know Uganda may even take the African Cup of Nations, insha-Allah. MR MAURICE KIBALYA (NRM, Bugabula County South, Kamuli: Thank you, Mr Speaker. I add my voice to whoever has congratulated those that participated in the bid to have Uganda host the AFCON 2027. There is no international gathering or conference that can pull crowds like when we host games. In 2027, I am very sure Uganda is going to host people that it has never hosted before. It is going to have a population that will disorganise the whole set up of Uganda. This is the time and we have three years to prepare for this. Mr Speaker, I have heard colleagues suggesting that the stadium should be in Fort Portal, Hoima or somewhere. This is not an event for Kampala, Fort Portal or Hoima alone. It is for Uganda as a whole. We need to see the Ministry of Education and Sports coming to do some renovation work at Bugembe Stadium so that when a participating country comes, they can go for training in Jinja and stay there for two days as they prepare to come and play at Namboole or Nakivubo stadia. We should not have all countries in Kampala alone as if Mbale or Jinja are not waiting. This is an opportunity for every region to benefit. Let it not be centralised in Kampala as if they have only come to visit Kampala. We want every region to benefit in whichever formula. We have seen countries jetting in five days, a week or eight days in advance. Take them to Mbale, Gulu and Mbarara so that they train from there. Those people will benefit from the different sectors -(Member timed out.)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. We need to appreciate your commitment to making sure Ugandans are safe. In Kampala, they are lucky that communication is easy and near; the police and army officers are just next door. Either you will near a police officer or an army officer. The areas we represent are upcountry and nobody knows the intentions of these people. These people may know that there is tight security in Kampala and they migrate to Bugabula. And tomorrow you hear a different story. Nobody knows where they are and nobody knows their movement. The challenge is that the police officers in our areas are not facilitated. I have a police post but the officer in Charge does not have a motorcycle. There is nothing and she is alone. The next police post is around 15 kilometres away. And there are no police officers. Through your office, can we have police come to the rescue of these people? Give motorcycles, put fuel. You find somebody there and he or she does not know what to do next. Can we facilitate these people and see how best they can respond because these people can move from Lubaga and you will hear they are in Kamuli, in Bugabula South, and I will come here and begin crying? Before I cry, let the officers get facilitated-

Thank you, Mr Speaker. It is the policy of the Government to have Health Centre III in each subcounty. We still have subcounties that do not have Health Centre 111s. For the record, Balawoli Subcounty in Bugabula County North is one of them. We have had several engagements with the Ministry of Health and we do not have one yet. It is also a policy that every constituency must have a Health Centre IV. We still have many constituencies that have not yet attained Health Centre IV status hospitals. This is where the problem starts, in the process where mothers fail from Health Centre IIs where they begin, they need to be moved to Health Centre IIIs. But where there are no Health Centres IIs and Health Centres IIIs in a subcounty, by the time they reach to the next subcounty, they have already bled to death. So, we need to actualise this policy throughout the country. We can go on record as the 11 th Parliament that oversaw the existence of Health Centre IIIs in each subcounty and Health Centre IVs in each constituency. Mr Speaker, this should be coupled with an ambulance at all the Health Centres IVs in each constituency. I welcome it if it is true, that the Ministry of Health is banning ambulances of Members of Parliament, as long as they can provide an ambulance at every constituency level, where we are advocating for a Health Center IV. I beg to submit. Thank you.

412 PRIME MINISTER’S TIME [Mr Ogwang] i) Upgrading the seating capacity from 38,000 to 45,000; ii) Improvements and expansion of the VVIP and VIP lounges; iii) Improvements in the media tribune, stadium media centre, press conference rooms, the mixed zone, spectator-related areas and medical areas, among others. Mr Speaker, the contractor has completed the design review and incorporated all observations raised by the Confederation of African Football. Structural integrity tests have also been successfully undertaken, confirming the project’s readiness to proceed. The contractor remains scheduled to complete works within the timelines stipulated by CAF, which is 31 December 2026. 3. Kyambogo University Training Facility Phase II construction works are progressing well and the facility is expected to be completed by August. 4. Makerere University Training Facility Construction works are ongoing and completion is expected by August. 5. Hoima Boma Grounds The project is on course for completion by September this year. 6. Masindi Municipal Stadium Training Facility Construction works are ongoing and the facility is expected to be completed by September this year. 7. FUFA Kadiba Stadium Training Facility The BOQs and architectural design for Kadiba are being finalised, and the site will soon be handed over to the UPDF Engineers Brigade. The scope of works includes remedial works on the pitch and installation of floodlights. We envisage completing the work by December 2026. Why the delay? The stadium was being used by FUFA till the end of the calendar year, which ended recently. It is a Federation facility for football competition. 8. Sir Tito Winyi Secondary School (Training Facility) The process of acquiring land at Sir Tito Winyi is concluded, and the Minister of Works and Transport is preparing the BOQs. Works will commence in August 2026 and will be completed in December. Why the delay? There was a complaint about the land. As per the guidance from the Attorney-General, the Government cannot invest resources where we do not have exclusive ownership of the land. So, the two parties had to be brought on board. Finally, there is a consent to that effect. Now we are ready to start working. 9. Upgrade priority access roads, pedestrian walkways, and street lighting around Hoima City stadium and Mandela National Stadium. Government is implementing a number of strategic road projects aimed at improving access to the AFCON 2027 competition and training venues while also easing traffic flow within the host cities. The works cover Jokas-Uganda Christian University Road (13.2 km). This road is going to be worked on and completed. That will ease traffic on the main Jinja Highway. Hon. Nambooze is nodding. I think let us clap for Government for that. (Laughter) Jokas-Bweyogere Road (6.2 km), Jokas-Namanve Road (3.2 km), Kireka-Kamuli- Nalya Road, Bweyogere-Buto-Namugongo Road, Kyaliwajala-Kira-Kasangati Road, and Old Jinja Road. The project also includes improvements to Kireka and Kyaliwajala junctions, as well as road linkages to the Northern Bypass through Agenda and Kiwatule as well as roads to Hoima City Stadium.

Read the full speech, word for word
Thank you, Mr Speaker. My concern is on the issue of the stalled development of the modern markets that the Government had started on for all municipalities. Now that there is the issue of the trade order implementation, many have been displaced, but without an alternative space for them. When are we getting the modern markets for municipalities that did not get an opportunity, like Kamuli, and Iganga?

259 THE TWELFTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA WEDNESDAY, 08 JULY 2026 among them the Lubowa Specialised Hospital arrangement with Enrica Pinetti, the Roko Construction bailout, the DEI BioPharma bailout, the Inspire Africa Coffee venture in Ntungamo, and the Atiak Sugar factory under UDC, all private ventures, financed through public borrowing whose returns to citizens are yet to be demonstrated. Public revenue is being diverted from schools, hospitals, roads and agriculture to service debt whose benefits ordinary Ugandans cannot see or feel. Sustainable growth requires prudent fiscal management, productive investment, value for money and genuine accountability in the use of public resources. Mr Speaker, let me speak about the cost of living and employment. One of the most glaring omissions, in my view, in the State- of-the-Nation Address was the rising cost of living, which we see every day and everywhere in our constituencies. Households are grappling with food, transport, school, health care, and rent costs that together exhaust whatever income they earn. The UBOS National Governance, Peace and Security Survey of November 2025 shows that food accounts for over 50 per cent of low- income household expenditure; not a statistic to be tracked in a spreadsheet, but a household emergency at every meal. Fuel prices of Shs 6,500 and above per litre up-country drive up the cost of everything that moves by road, and Uganda spends approximately Shs 600 billion annually on petroleum imports, priced in foreign exchange. Every weakening of the shilling is directly reflected in the price of a meal, a school run, and a market trader’s fare. The employment picture is equally serious. Uganda’s population currently stands at 45.9 million, yet only 9.4 million are in formal employment. Approximately 700,000 young people enter the labour market every year, while manufacturing, the sector best placed to absorb them, contributes only 8.4 per cent to our country’s GDP and employs only 8.3 per cent of the workforce, below the 13 per cent average for Least Developed Countries. The formal economy cannot absorb what the population produces - that is a fact - and the consequence is visible on every street corner and in every family surviving on informal, insecure work. Between 2020 and 2025, an estimated 500,000 Ugandans took up work contracts abroad, most in the Middle East under conditions widely documented as exploitative. These are not people abandoning a paradise, as is suggested. They are people seeking opportunities they cannot find at home. A government that exports its youth as cheap labour and then mocks them for leaving has forfeited the moral authority to speak about their economic transformation. What is required is deliberate investment in industrialisation, agro-processing, manufacturing, tourism and genuine support for small and medium enterprises, with success measured by decent livelihoods created, not programmes announced. Let me talk about corruption and accountability, which Hon. Kuteesa Kamuli is very passionate about, and I applaud her for that. Corruption, honourable colleagues, is still one of the biggest obstacles to Uganda’s development. The Inspectorate of Government, in its Anti-Corruption Annual Report 2024/2025, estimated that Uganda loses about Shs 10 trillion annually to corruption –m Shs 10 trillion per year dissipates! The Auditor-General’s 2025 Annual Report found unaccounted for funds, unsupported expenditure and procurement irregularities in 72 per cent of audited entities. These are Government entities that are audited. Payroll audits continue to uncover thousands of ghost workers, and the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority has reported persistent irregularities in public contracting, including inflated prices and non-

The member said the southern part of Lake Kyoga lacks roads to the north, so a new road will help Serere, Kasilo, Kaberamaido and Kalaki. He urged the finance minister to add a stop from Nakasongola to Galiraya and build roads from Kamuli to Irundu and Kaliro to Irundu, and to use ferries to cut travel time to Kampala.

Read the full speech, word for word
Thank you, Mr Speaker. I stand here to support the motion. The southern part of Lake Kyoga lacks infrastructure to connect to the northern part of the lake. I am here to support it because this is one of the roads we have been advocating for in the physical infrastructure committee for the past 10 to 15 years. I am pleased that today this has reached what it is. Mr Speaker, additionally, the people of Serere – Kasilo – Kaberamaido and Kalaki will be beneficiaries of this project. It will improve the connectivity between the northern part and the southern part of Lake Kyoga. Needless to add, the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development should also look into adding a stop in Nakasongola to Galiraya, so that if you are coming from Masindi, you do not have to go to Kampala. You can connect from Masindi, Nakasongola, Kayunga, Isimba Dam, then to Kamuli, Kaliro, and finally to Pallisa. The other two roads that the minister for finance needs to look into are: Kamuli to Irundu and then Kaliro to Irundu. Once you do those roads on the southern part of Lake Kyoga, you would have improved the connectivity between the northern and the southern parts of the country. Definitely, with the ferries that are already operating and those that we are proposing to introduce on Lake Kyoga, you would reduce the time that we spend getting to Kampala. I could sleep in Kasilo and come here; within two hours, I would be in Kampala from Kasilo, rather than spending five hours. On that note, Mr Speaker, I stand here to support this loan for the construction of this road. Thank you.

The parliament member listed many roads needing upgrades, noting that some, like Fort Portal‑Bundibugyo‑Lamia, lack budget funding, while others such as Koboko‑Yumbe‑Moyo and Luweero‑Butalangu have money available once approved. The focus is on improving national and oil roads across the region.
Summary written by a computer
Read the full speech, word for word
Under Annex 1, we summarised the amount of money which is budgeted for DUCAR, KCCA and road maintenance. There are national roads upgrades and rehabilitation. There are also ferry operations of about Shs 12 billion. Therefore, some of the roads like Fort Portal- Bundibugyo-Lamia - we all know that road. There was an estimate of Shs 118 billion. The requirement to do the phase for this year is Shs 50 billion. However, there was nothing provided in the budget. There is also Gulu-Atiak-Nimule Road – it is in bad shape. The other roads are Mubende- Kyenjojo Road and Ntungamo-Rukungiri Road. There is also the completion of the section of Tororo-Busia Road. We also have Najjanankumbi-Busabala Road and Rwenkunye-Apac-Lira-Puranga Road - Hon. Omara, thank you for lobbying. We also have Luweero-Butalangu Road. There is Koboko-Yumbe-Moyo – that road when you leave Koboko via Yumbe headed to Moyo. It is for upgrade. Money is being provided. There are also Yumbe-Ure, Kisubi-Nakawuka, Nakawuka-Maya, Nakawuka-Nateete, Nakawuka-Kasanje-Maya and Nakawuka- Buwaya – all those roads. The money is here. Once we approve, we are in business. There are also critical oil roads like Kabwoya- Buhuka, Kihura-Rwamwanja, Kahunge-Bwizi- Mpara, Namagumba-Budadiri-Nalugugu - these people of Mbale, the road is there to be completed. We have Moroto-Lokitanyala Road, Kira- Matugga Road – Hon. Ssemujju, thank you for lobbying - (Laughter). There is also Kabale- Bunyonyi Road – that is a tourist road, going up to Kisoro-Mahinga. We have Busega-Mpigi Expressway. We need that one badly. There is a road from Muyembe to Nakapiripirit as well as Lusalira-Nkonge- Lumegere-Ssembabule Road. Hon. Kabanda is in business. Thank you for lobbying. Hon. Namugga, the NRM Government does not discriminate. There is also Iganga-Bulopa-Kamuli – you will connect properly. This is for the former Speaker, and the current Speaker has implemented it. Thank you for lobbying. There are also critical roads like Kabale- Kiziranfumbi, Nyairongo-Kyarushesha and Masindi-Biiso. It seems nobody is excited about this one. This is an oil road.

Read the full speech, word for word
Thank you, Mr Speaker. On the 5 th of this month, there was a heavy downpour. The rainstorm was heavy in the area of Naibowa, a parish in Butansi Subcounty in Kamuli District. More than 50 homesteads, gardens, and people’s animals were destroyed. There is a lady who is near there, who is a traditional healer, who took advantage of those families that got affected; those with wounds, and broken limbs because of the downpour, so she is hosting and treating them because the number was too big to be accommodated in Kamuli Hospital. There is a lot that is going on there, Mr Speaker. The families in the small villages of Bulyampanda, Butimbo, and Buluke in that parish are really struggling and suffering. My prayer is that the Office of the Prime Minister could come to the rescue of these people and help them with some food. At the same time, most of these structures that were destroyed require some iron sheets and some help. The Office of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Disaster Preparedness could come to the rescue of these people and help them.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. The project objective is to support the Government of Uganda’s effort to achieve sustainable provision of safe water and hygienic sanitation for the urban population by the year 2030. The project will improve the quality of service and the supply of water and sanitation facilities, as well as enhance the management and functioning of water supply and sanitation systems in the targeted towns in Uganda. The primary beneficiaries of the project would be residents of four selected cluster project areas in different regions of the country. The identified clusters are: Nakasongola Phase II cluster (Nakasongola District), Kamuli- Kasambira Phase II cluster (Kamuli District), Mayuge-Bugadde (Mayuge District) - Idudi- Busesa (Bugweri District) cluster, and Alebtong cluster (Alebtong District). The project comprises three major components, namely, i) Urban water supply infrastructure development; ii) Urban sanitation infrastructure development; and iii) Project management. The project will cost Euro 221.682 million and will be financed by; i) Sinosure Backed Term loan facility from Standard Chartered Bank of up to Euros 183,309,947, Domestic borrowing of 120.395 billion (six-month Treasury Bill), an equivalent of Euros 29.572; and ii) Government counterpart funding of Euros 8.8 million, which will be spread over five years of implementation. The counterpart funding will cover the project’s running costs (recurrent costs), land acquisition for infrastructure development, programme coordination, and joint monitoring and evaluation.

18030 RESOLUTION TO BORROW Therefore, it will be budgeted for in the Ministry of Water and Environment’s mid- term expenditure framework, and the resources will be made available starting Financial Year 2025/2026. The Certificate of Financial Implications has been attached to the detailed brief. The right of way for all the infrastructure was concluded under Phase I of the project in Nakasongola, Kamuli-Kasambira, and Alebtong. The process is still ongoing in Bugadde-Mayuge-Idudi-Busesa, with the district local government’s involvement. The progress of acquiring the right of way for the entire project is estimated at 75 per cent. What are the terms? The loan amount I stated earlier is 183.309 million. The tenure is 14 years with a four-year grace period. The interest rate is six months euribor plus margin, and the commitment fee is 30 per cent of the margin per annum, which is 0.63 per cent. The margin is 2.10 per cent. The sinosure premium is 7 per cent of principal and interest. The agency fee is $20,000 per year, the arrangement fee is 1.4 per cent paid up front, and the default interest is 2 per cent. The six- month Treasury bill issuance to cater for 15 per cent of the contract sum loan amount is 120.395 billion, which is an equivalent of Euro 29.572. The loan period is a six-month Treasury bill to be determined at the time of issuance. However, it stood at 14 per cent per year as of 12 February 2025. The justification, Mr Speaker, is that the project will contribute to the water and sanitation sector target of 85 per cent by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2040. The project will provide additional access to at least 0.74 million people by 2030 and over one million people in the projected design period by 2050. The project will train 150 people in appropriate urban sanitation, masonry, mechanical artisanry, and waste management. Through this project, the sector is targeting rolling out water and sanitation services to the four future cities and the surrounding satellite town councils within selected districts to cover wider and unserved areas, bringing piped water closer to the town populations and progressively reducing the common sight of women and children carrying water on their heads for long distances from unsafe wells. The water supply services will extend to 51 towns, covering 115 parishes. The project will contribute to improved health and productivity by providing safe water and sanitation services to the target population of approximately 1 million people by 2050. The infrastructure also serves industrial areas in the region, including the cassava processing plant in Nakasongola and the proposed industrial park in Kakooge. In addition, the project will include abstract infrastructure for water for irrigation purposes and support designs for extending water for irrigation within the project areas. The envisaged direct impact of the project includes: i) Access to safe, adequate and reliable water supply to town populations, ii) Reduction in the average walking distances to the nearest public water point, and iii) Reduction in the time spent fetching water at congested water points. The water infrastructure designed for the identified cities and surrounding small towns is a direct response to Uganda’s current urbanisation rate of 5.2 per cent. Sanitation interventions in schools, institutions, and other settings, and the accompanying faecal sludge plants with dislodging units, will have a tremendous impact on the existing challenge of emptying toilets and septic tanks in schools and informal settlements. The project will also provide employment opportunities during construction and

Thank you. Mr Speaker, I beg to lay the report of the Committee on National Economy, on the proposal to borrow Euros 183,309,947.16 from the Standard Chartered Bank, UK and Shs 120,395,249,259 (approximately Euros 29,572,292) from the domestic market (Six-month treasury bill) for financing the Strategic Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Project - Phase II. I beg to lay the committee report, the minority report, and the committee minutes. Allow me to summarise the report. The minister has already given an overview of it. The Committee on National Economy held a meeting with the technical teams from the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development and the Ministry of Water and Environment technical teams.

The committee also conducted a field visit to Kayunga District and assessed the performance of the project. The committee visited the Kayunga-Busaana Town Water Supply System. The construction of the main works had been completed and the scheme had been handed over to the Central Umbrella of Water and Sanitation for operation and maintenance. The committee visited the Kamuli Town Water Supply System. The construction of the main works had been completed, and the system had been handed over to the National Water and Sewerage Corporation. The committee looked at the performance of loans in the water sector. The Ministry of Water and Environment had about 14 donor-funded projects, with a total loan portfolio of about $1,346.98 million to finance them. As of the end of June 2025, 53.62 per cent of this money had been released—that is, about $722.23 million had been disbursed to the 14 projects. However, projects that were not performing well included irrigation scheme development in Unyama, Namalu, and Sipi regions; irrigation for climate resilience; supply and installation of solar-powered water supply systems in rural areas; construction of water and sanitation infrastructure; and associated activities in Isingiro District. Mr Speaker, phase two is taking over from phase one. Mr Speaker, this House, around December 2018, passed a loan of 44 million units of account, equivalent to Shs 59.4 million, to implement phase one of the project. Phase one covered substantially 96 per cent of the $59.4 million for the loan from the African Development Bank that had been released. The Government of Uganda, in totality, had released all the counterpart funding to 100 per cent. That was $6.6 million. Mr Speaker, the systems that were constructed under phase one included: Dokolo Town water supply system, improvement works in Kapchorwa Town water supply system, maintenance of Nakasongola Water supply system, Kyenjojo- Katooke Town water supply system, Buikwe Town water supply system, Bundibugyo water supply system, Kayunga - Busana water supply system and Kamuli water supply system. A total of about 40 institutional and public toilets were constructed, and detailed designs for an additional 10 water supply systems in the Upper Nile and the Kyoga catchment areas were done. Additionally, skilled training of women and youth in the water and sanitation business and the development of regulatory tools and review of the water and sanitation services tariff regime were completed under phase one. Mr Speaker, we also assessed that phase one had the following challenges: Phase one was affected by COVID-19, which led to an escalation in the prices of construction materials. Land acquisition was also a challenge for major installations, changes in the scope of works, and extreme weather conditions had an effect on phase one. Mr Speaker, the minister has already informed this House of the objectives of phase two of the strategic town water supply and sanitation

Read the full speech, word for word
18033 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA TUESDAY, 16 SEPTEMBER 2025 project. I would like to inform this House that this is linked to the country’s strategies. The minister already talked about the components and construction of this project. The project has three components: component one included the construction of the water supply systems. It took the largest amount of funds, costing about 81 per cent of the total project cost, which is €179.27 million. This was to be invested in building on the achievements of phase one to enhance infrastructure capacity in Kamuli Municipal Council and Nakasongola districts, and construction of new water supply infrastructure in Mayuge and Alebtong districts. The provision of the piped water supply and approved sanitation in these strategic towns will trigger socio-economic transformation through stimulation of business/ commercial activities and support to end user social services. Component two takes about €20.66 million which is 9 per cent of the total project cost. It will be conducted in line with the urban improved sanitation and hygiene strategy to finance activities of sanitation and hygiene awareness creation, construction of public sanitation infrastructure, including the on-site and off-site regional faecal sludge or sewerage management facilities. Faecal sludge, haulage and service equipment will also be provided to serve the cluster towns. Component three takes a total of €21.75 million, which is 10 per cent of the project cost, and will invest in supporting the Ministry of Water and Environment towards effective implementation of the Strategic Towns Water Supply Project phase two. Mr Speaker, allow me to go direct to the committee’s observations and recommendations. The terms and conditions of the loan and the physical modalities: the committee observed that this loan, financed from external sources with the Standard Chartered Bank UK being the agent and the arranger, is being offered at a high commercial rate for a project that has no immediate revenue generation stream. However, this is being mitigated by the socio- economic returns over the medium to long term that lead to high economic returns of 19 per cent over the opportunity cost of capital of 11 per cent. Additionally, the financial modality through issuance of six-month treasury securities in the domestic market is equally commercial with the current cost of 182 treasury bill rate of 12.5 per cent. While this is an option available to the Government in mobilising resources to finance its programmes, its suitability for such projects is a major concern. Such concerns involve whether such options are part of the treasury security insurance calendar of the central bank/ Government. Furthermore, the cost of insurance premium for Sinosure of €15.7 million is nine per cent of the credit, which is considerably higher given that the risk assessment framework for the project indicates low financial and political risks. The committee recommends the following: i) The Government should ensure that high commercial loans are used to finance projects whose revenue generation capacity is in the short term; ii) Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development should ensure that domestic borrowing to finance specific projects form part of the government insurance calendar to improve coordination between the monetary policy and the physical policy authorities. Efforts to mitigate the rising interest costs for the private sector due to increased Government borrowing from the banking sector should further be explored by the Ministry of Finance, Planning, and Economic Development as well. iii) The Government should consider negotiating the insurance premium cost, given the minimum risk the project faces and other costs to bring them to levels that are compatible to the Standard Chartered Bank, UK terms used for Kabalega airport in Hoima that were non-concessional.

Read the full speech, word for word
18034 RESOLUTION TO BORROW Observation 5.2, the budgetary implications of the Strategic Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Project II The committee observed that while a budget provision of Shs 6.93 billion had been provided for on-ongoing activities under the project in the Financial Year 2025/2026, the Strategic Towns Water Supply Systems Project phase two first year requirement of over Shs 150 billion is not provided for in the budget for the Financial Year 2025/2026. Further, the project is not part of the medium- term commitments statement for the Financial Year 2025/2026 as presented to Parliament. The domestic debt acquisition to finance part of phase two increases the financing requirement of the Government in terms of short-term interest rate payments that should be planned in the Government’s fiscal operations for the Financial Year 2025/2026 and over the medium term. The committee recommends that the Government should expedite the process of including the Strategic Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Project Phase II to form part of the multi-year commitment for Financial Year 2025/2026 and the medium term. As a result, the Government should adjust its fiscal framework to include any costs associated with the financing modalities of the project for the Financial Year 2025/2026 and the medium term. 5.3 Government counterpart funding The committee noted that among the lessons learned from the implementation of projects, especially those financed by externally- borrowed funds, is the untimely release of Government counterpart funding and the low absorption capacity of the project-executing agencies. The committee recommends that the Government ensures that adequate counterpart funds for these projects are timely integrated into the national budget during the implementation period. Fulfillment of the loan conditions The committee also observed that the Government has been slow in the fulfilment of the loan’s effective conditions upon the signing of the loan agreements in order to trigger the disbursement of committed funds for the implementation of the debt-funded projects. The committee recommends that the Government ensures the speedy fulfilment of the effective conditions of the financing agreements for this loan in order for the committed funds to be released by Standard Chartered Bank, UK on time, to guarantee the timely implementation of the project. High dependence on consultancy The committee observed the high dependency of the project on consultancy services. According to the project procurement plan, a total of €8,070,513 will be spent on consultancy services. The majority of the consultancy costs will finance consultancy services for construction supervision of Alebtong, Kamuli- Kasambira Phase II, Bugadde-Mayuge-Idudi- Busesa and Nakasongola Phase II Water Supply and Sanitation Project. The committee recommends that the Government scales up plans for deliberately building the capacities of MDAs in conducting studies, designing and the supervision of projects in order to cut down on the exorbitant amounts of project funds spent on consultancy services towards conducting studies, designs and the supervision of debt-funded projects. 5.6. Performance of debt-funded projects in the water and sanitation sector The committee noted that there has been an improvement in the utilisation of loans in the water and sanitation sector. Despite the improvement, some projects did not perform well. Examples are the irrigation scheme development in Unyama, Namalu, and Sipi projects -

18036 RESOLUTION TO BORROW loan fail to comply with the third condition of contracting non-concessional loans. The committee recommends that the Government, through the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, renegotiate the loan terms with the proposed creditor or identify another creditor whose terms are consistent with the 2023 Public Debt Management Framework. Elimination of Ugandan and East African contractors during implementation The committee noted that during the implementation of phase one of the Strategic Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Project, several contractors were awarded contracts for the different clusters. For example, in Kamuli, the contractor was Vidas Engineering Services Co. Limited, with a supervision consultant: Jos Hansen and Sohene (East Africa) Limited and in Kayunga-Busana, one of the contractors was Vambeco Enterprises Limited, Supervised by Alliance Consultants Ltd. The ministry did not communicate any concerns on the ability of the various contractors to deliver similar outputs under phase two. The committee recommends that as a commitment to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), Government, through the Ministry of Water and Environment, reviews its contract of awarding all the clusters to one company, CHEC and open up implementation of the project to include East African companies in order to maximise local content, since their ability in construction and supervision was observed in phase one. Need to review the project cost The committee observed that the total investment cost under the project is Shs 802.22 billion, which is the contract sum. The committee was concerned that some of the project’s planned investment items should be implemented using Government revenues, not borrowing. For example, Shs 34 billion under the project is to construct public toilets observed in the table below. Members can read through the table. The committee, using information from the respective feasibility studies, observed variances in the unit costs. For example: 1. The diesel storage shed, whose price range was between an equivalent of Shs 72.9 million in Nakasongola and Shs 252.7 million in Mayuge-Idudi cluster; 2. Generator house that ranged between an equivalent of Shs 333 million in Alebtong to Shs 1.319 billion in Kamuli-Kasambira cluster; 3. The operation and administration building ranged from an equivalent of Shs 755.38 million in Alebtong to Shs 1.433 billion in the other cluster. The committee recommends that the cost of the project be reviewed in view of bringing down the unit costs and reducing the cost of designs and scaling down expenditure on public toilets and guard houses, among others. Madam Speaker, in conclusion, the committee appreciates that the proposed project is consistent with the objectives of NDP IV, specifically natural resources, environment, climate change, land and water programme and human capital development programme. The project has social ramifications and builds on phase one projects. The committee recommends that the proposal by the Government to borrow €183,309,947.16 from Standard Chartered Bank and Shs 120,395,249,259, approximately €29,572,296, from the domestic market-Six- month Treasury Bill for financing the Strategic Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Project — Phase II(STWSSP II) be approved, subject to the above committee observations and recommendations. Mr Speaker, I beg to report. (Applause)

“Towns like Nakasongola, Kamuli, Kasambira, Alebtong, Bugade, Mayuge, Idudi, Busesa, amongst many other towns in Uganda, still lack safe water.”
Read the full speech, word for word
Thank you, Mr Speaker. I appreciate my chairperson and the Committee on National Economy for the well-presented report. I am going to be very brief. Mr Speaker, allow me to address this House to the two fundamental dissenting matters. Our dissenting matters are on two issues. One is the high cost on the loan, which subjects a taxpayer to a burden repayment. Two is non-compliance with the Rules of Procedure of Parliament. Mr Speaker, my dissenting observation is that we acknowledge the Government’s goal for 2024, especially on improving access to safe water and sanitation services to our country. Towns like Nakasongola, Kamuli, Kasambira, Alebtong, Bugade, Mayuge, Idudi, Busesa, amongst many other towns in Uganda, still lack safe water. Any good external borrowing for such social development would be much welcome. For this special request, Mr Speaker, we are completely opposed to committing taxpayers to this loan for the following reasons. The high cost on the loan Mr Speaker, the loan is purely commercial from Standard Chartered Bank (SINASURE Backed Term) with an interest rate of 6 months per cent Euribor plus a margin of 2.1 per cent - a commitment fee of 0.63 per cent of the margin per annum; an agency fee of $20,000 payable annually; an arrangement fee of 1.4 per cent; a default interest fee of 2 per cent and tentative interest of 5 per cent. Mr Speaker, 7 per cent interest fee on the premium and a 7 per cent interest fee on interest is almost double interest. Mr Speaker, Strategic Town Water Supply and Sanitation Project, phase 1 of the same project, was financed by the African Development Bank, whose terms were semi-concessional with a grace period of eight years and a maturity of 25 years. For this particular request, it is a four-year grace period against a 14-year maturity period. We also need to note that in the report of public debt grants and other financial liabilities of Financial Year 2024/2025, on page 42, there is a loan request of €214 million from the United Kingdom Export Financing, pending the Cabinet’s approval by March 2025. Any immediate approval of this loan by the Cabinet can save a taxpayer from a commercial loan from Standard Chartered Bank for this particular project. In addition, as highlighted on non-compliance with the parliamentary provisions, our hands as Parliament are tied by Rule 162(5)(b) of the Rules of Procedure of Parliament, which states that, “Any loan request before Parliament for approval will need a list of financing options considered when identifying the creditor.” Mr Speaker, on the presentation of this loan, there is no financial option on request that were laid before the committee by the minister for consideration. The committee, while scrutinising this request, was not provided with any list of financing options. We were left green over the criteria used to arrive at Standard Chartered Bank as a lender of this particular loan. If other options were provided, maybe we would scrutinise this loan further. Without this information being provided to the committee and this House, Parliament shall be working contrary to their constitutional mandate as enshrined in Article 159. Therefore, this is working against the rule of law. Mr Speaker, we urge this House to adopt our dissenting opinion in the spirit of saving taxpayers from this costly loan. As I promised this House to be brief, allow me to draw your attention to the following recommendations: i. The minister responsible for finance should clarify why the African Development Bank, which financed this same loan in phase one, was not able to fund the same loan in phase two. ii. We recommend that the minister present to us a list of financing options considered when selecting Standard Chartered Bank

Madam Speaker, he is too tall, so for people who are short like me, when you take a photo with him, you look like a dwarf. (Laughter) In brief, he should prepare a stool. Thank you so much. Madam Speaker, I have another question from Hon. Veronica Nanyondo, the District Woman MP of Bukomansimbi. Her prayer is that there is an effect on the implementation of the new lower secondary school curriculum on primary school leavers. Can the Government update us on this matter? My response is that at the moment, primary school leavers transition from the knowledge- based curriculum to competence-based curriculum in secondary school, under the revised lower secondary school curriculum. The process of revising the primary school curriculum to make it competence-based has already commenced to harmonise curriculum designs across primary and secondary level education. Once this is complete, the learners will be introduced to competence-based teaching and learning from primary school and progress with it to secondary education. I got another question from Hon. Ronald Balimwezo Nsubuga, MP for Nakawa Division East. He says that Uganda has very many experienced jua kalis, but they have no industrial parks and have continued to operate in a domestic setting, with very high electricity and water domestic tariffs. This is something that has crippled their businesses, yet they compete with investors who operate in Government industrial parks. These investors in Government industrial parks have always been incentivised in the form of tax exemptions, low electricity and water tariffs. This makes it harder for the jua kalis to compete favourably with them in the same market. His prayer is; When is the Government going to set up jua kali industrial parks? My response is that in this principle, for all Ugandan investors - if they all go through the Uganda Investment Authority, industrial parks have been designed with spaces specifically planned for setting up Small and Medium- sized Enterprises (SMEs), which cater for jua kali artisan activities. SME parks of 20 acres have been planned in all the operational industrial parks of Namanve, Soroti, Kasese, SINO-Mbale, and others. The Uganda Investment Authority also acquired the Mbarara SME Park of 12 acres that has been handed back to Gatsby Group, the SME artisans from Mbarara. The Government’s vision is to develop new industrial parks in phases, depending on the availability of resources in Gulu, Nebbi, Arua, Madi-Okollo, Yumbe, Pader, Paidha, Dokolo, Rukungiri, Isingiro, Oyam, Lira, Hoima, Buliisa, Kisoro, Kakumiro, Nakasongola, Luwero, Nakaseke, Mubende, Mityana, Masaka, Kabale, Bushenyi, Tororo, Rakai, Kamuli, Kween, Busia, Soroti, Gomba, Kayunga, Kyegegwa , and Iganga, where land has been mobilised by districts and already offered to Uganda Investment Authority for industrial development to foster innovation and equitable, sustainable industrial growth. Madam Speaker, the major infrastructure, for example, workplaces with shared common user facilities such as production equipment, showrooms for Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to use as they sell and grow their businesses, will be constructed within the said industrial parks. 10. Hon. Lucy Akello, the District Woman Member of Parliament for Amuru, raised an issue on the lack of radiologists in the regional referral hospitals like Gulu, Soroti, Mbale and others.

17496 ADDRESS ON THE STATE OF THE NATION 6. The PCR kit developed by scientists at Makerere University to conduct more than two million tests at 50 per cent of the cost of imported alternatives. This has saved the country $37 million in imports per year; 7. Gulu University developed highly effective rapid test kits for crop diseases – for cassava and sweet potatoes; 8. The engineering development and innovation centres in Rwebiteete, Kiruhura District and Namanve are enhancing capacity for industrial technology, metallurgy, electrical and electronics, civil engineering, automotive technology, agricultural mechanisation, and construction machinery. 9. The Presidential Initiative on the Banana Industrial Development (PIBID) plant in Bushenyi – can you show us that one? Bushenyi banange! If you don’t want to die from a heart attack, you eat our bananas. They have got potassium for your heart muscles. The Presidential Initiative on Banana Industrial Development plant in Bushenyi has significantly increased commercial production capacity to 140 metric tonnes of fresh Matooke – “Matooke” is bananas – per day. The plant has sales orders from the Royal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Italy. Over the last 17 years, the NRM Government has prioritised infrastructure development, especially the roads, railways and electricity. We now have a solid foundation to support industrial development. All parts of the country are interconnected using tarmac and good murram roads. This means that whatever is produced in the country can easily reach the markets. It also means that the cost and time of moving goods has reduced significantly, facilitating both investments and trade. The stock of tarmac roads is now 6,199 kilometres, compared to only 1,900 kilometres when the NRM took power in 1986. Of these 1,900 kilometres, only 114 kilometres were in fair condition, while the rest, totalling 1,786 kilometres, were in poor condition. The roads to commence construction to tarmac standard next financial year include: 1. 23.6km., Yumbe-Ure Road and bridge. Are my people from Yumbe happy? Awadifo. (Applause) 2. 69.3km., Katine-Ochero Road – apwoyo, apwoyo, apwoyo – and 2.9 kilometres of town roads in Kaberamaido and Kalaki towns. 3. 105km. of Kyenjojo-Kihura-Bwizi-Rwamwanja- Kahunge and Mpara-Bwizi.

Abany - abuhweju, at last. The Government is repairing the 78.9km road from Nebbi to Arua and I am also negotiating for more money to tarmac other roads, namely: Kabujogyera-Kitagwenda-Kamwenge Road – a batagwenda bangye mutebwo amastiko; Muhaanga-Rwamuchuuchu-Kisiizi-Rubaare Road with a branch to Nyakisheenyi and another one to Kebisooni – Abahooro, Abakiga tindabasa kubebwa; Lyantonde-Lumbugu- Rakai – abakooki baffe eyomunda eyo;

Thank you, Mr Speaker. Salutations to the Committee on Physical Infrastructure. I thank the Government for compensating my people who were affected by the standard gauge railway project. Compensation stands at 85 per cent as of today, and I pray that the remaining 15 per cent is expedited so that people get value for their money. The area where they have already compensated people and demolished houses is turning into a habitat for criminals because jungles and bushes have developed in this place.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. We want to know the fate of the land titles of the people of Amber Court, Kimaka - generally, people affected by the Jinja-Mbulamuti-Kamuli-Bukungu Road. This road has been promised since 2001, it is now 25 years later, yet it had reached a high stage of procurement to make it now a bitumen class 2 road, and that was under Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA). Unfortunately, UNRA is now rationalised under your docket, honourable minister, so we do not know its fate. When are you going to progress and deliver that road, or have we now seen the end of that promise? But along with that road, Jinja City was promised 20 kilometres, which were to pave the roads within the city. I cry for the road that goes to the industrial area. In that area, we find BIDCo Uganda Limited, a company that is paying a lot of tax. It is one of the 10 highest tax-paying companies in Uganda, but along with that, there are still rolling mills; there is one making iron sheets. That road serves industries. So, we would like to know the fate of this project. It was on a pre- financing arrangement, and we were ready to receive it, but we do not know whether, when you took UNRA, we also lost the project. Otherwise, people are eager to listen to you on that. Lastly, at a national level, the substances that make a road like aggregate, marram, and maybe in the near future bitumen, are going to be locally sourced. What is the cost of the road? Why is it so high? Are we paying for the skill? (Member timed out.)

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I join the rest of the Members in thanking the chairperson of the Committee on Budget and Hon. Ssemujju for his minority report. I want to speak on the health and agriculture sectors. Unfortunately, the health sector has not been considered so much, bearing in mind that “Health is wealth”; when you have health, you have wealth. I want to bring to the attention of this House a key point: Pallisa District; as we speak, the district hospital is a post-independence hospital. The infrastructure has never been renovated and as I speak, male, female, and children are sharing wards; there is a lot of congestion in the hospital. Pallisa District neighbours several districts like Ngora, Kumi, Butebo, Kibuku, and part of Kamuli. They all come to Pallisa District. It is too congested; people are sleeping on the floor because there are no beds. I urge the Minister of Finance to consider us during this budgeting process – to at least construct new buildings. We have a unit for sickle cells but they meet under a shade every Tuesday and yet they are very many. As I speak now, because of the accumulated water bills, the hospital cannot afford to pay the water bills. We do not have running water in the hospital – (Member timed out.)

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I will begin with the choice of the bank. You cannot pick a bank that is Kampala-based and it is going to serve the interests of people in Lamwo, Kamuli. The cost involved is so high for those people to move to these Kampala- based banks. Mr Speaker, the second issue is about the efficiency of our systems. A SACCO applied for these grants in 2018, they received approval in 2022 when most of the members had already given up. This is why a few members begin now to plan around and enjoy this money when it has come in because most of the members have already lost morale by the time the money comes in. The third one is the issue of feasibility studies. We pay a lot of money to consultancy firms to do this work for us but I do not know what could be the problem. Someone comes up with a feasibility study and says, it is okay for us to put a maize mill somewhere, where he knows there is no electricity. We go ahead to implement the project and put up the facility, but there is no power. This is happening in so many of these projects. In local government, it is actually a bigger challenge. Mr Speaker, the issue of our loans - many of these loans have not been performed. I want to give an example. The Kasolwe Stock Ranch, which is in my district, Kamuli - we gave it a lot of money, but I cannot today even tell you that I know even 10 people in my district that have benefited from the Kasolwe Project yet we put in close to Shs 60 billion. It is four years down the road and I cannot give accountability of what my people around that project have benefited. Mr Speaker, it is a challenge to us, as Members of Parliament because we pass these loans with high expectations but at the end of the day, we see nothing. As the chairperson has narrated, it is really bad that we had put in $150 million and nothing almost came out. We have only been able to achieve 30 per cent of the money - (Member timed out.)

13456 PRESENTATION OF THE BUDGET SPEECH FY 2024/2025 Water, sanitation and environment protection As a result of Government intervention, more Ugandans now have access to safe, clean water. Coverage in rural areas is now estimated at 67 per cent and 70 per cent in urban areas. Out of the 71,225 villages, 56,617 villages have been served with at least one safe water source. In the Financial Year 2024/2025, clean water coverage will increase to 70 per cent and 85 per cent in rural and urban areas respectively. In the rural areas, the target is to reduce the distance to the nearest source of clean and safe water for human and animal consumption to less than one kilometre while in urban areas to less than 500 metres. The following are among the priorities we have budgeted for the next financial year: v. Construction of 52 large solar-powered water supply systems in 19 districts that are currently at less than 50 per cent water coverage. These are - let me mention them; Agago, Yumbe, Amudat, Kaabong, Bulambuli, Buvuma, Buyende, Namayingo, Rakai, Nakaseke, Sembabule, Kibaale, Kasese, Kyegegwa, Mubende, Lyantonde, Kakumiro, Kassanda and Kisoro; vi.

Read the full speech, word for word
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Mine is regarding the matter of the loans and the roads that the Minister laid. This financial year, we did pass money for the construction of the Mbulamuti-Kamuli- Bukungu Road. However, because the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development delayed bringing the loan to this House, it ended - the agreements were ready by the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA), but somehow within the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, that contract agreement for the construction of that road has not commenced. We again have to budget and put this road back in the next financial year. Could the Minister do these things promptly? We have wasted one year without any work, the contract was signed, but because there is some challenge in the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, I want the minister to take it up. Additionally, I raised and saw - thanks to the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development and Hon. Kasolo that you approved a loan for Kumi-Serere-Kasilo Road. I have seen it in the Budget Framework Papers, but the loan has not yet come here. We may run into the same problem. When are you bringing the loan to this House? We do not want to waste one year without work as has happened to the Kamuli-Bukungu Road. Thank you.

The parliament member explained that Uganda’s prisons are overcrowded, with 75,707 inmates far above the 20,321 capacity, and that funding for expansion has been cut. New prisons are planned in places like Kiruhura, Ntwetwe, Isingiro, Yumbe, Kalungu, and Bamunanika, but more money is needed. Staff housing is also insufficient, with 55.9% of 7,936 staff lacking proper accommodation.

Mr Speaker, these are responses on action-taken reports from the ministry. I would like to apologise because it is long overdue. I will start with responses to the report of the Committee on Defence and Internal Affairs on the field visits to Government prisons and prison farms. The issues raised by the committee were congestion and overcrowding in prisons. They recommended that the Uganda Prisons Service development budget should be increased to enable the rehabilitation, expansion and construction of more prisons facilities, to accommodate the increasing number of prisoners and reduce congestion in the existing facilities our response is as follows: The first is that we had inadequate funds allocated for the expansion of prisoners’ sleeping accommodation. The development is inadequate and was budget was cut from Shs 37.227 billion, in the Financial Year 2020/2021, to Shs 27.388 billion, in the Financial Year 2023/2024. The average prisoners’ population of 75,707 as of 1 August 2023, exceeds the prisons’ carrying capacity, which is 20,321. This is exceeded by 55,386 prisoners. At a projected daily average of 80,640 inmates and a projected increase in holding capacity, congestion is projected at 396.8 per cent. This is phenomenal and needs to be addressed. In the Financial Year 2022/2023, the service expanded prison accommodation through the construction of a new prison at Ntungamo and the expansion of prisoners’ accommodation at Rukungiri, Lira, Mutuufu, Kamuli and Kiruhura prisons. Completion of prisoners’ accommodation in Kisoro, Ntwetwe, Isingiro, Maiha, Lukaya, Loro, Yumbe, Lwabenge in Kalungu, Koboko, Bamunanika and Kigandalo, which has been planned in 2023/2024. The strategy is: a) To construct five low-cost security prisons at Shs 3.8 billion each. Shs 19 billion is required per year for this to be realised; b) We need to construct one regional mini- max prison (Kitalya Model) with a capacity of 2,000 prisoners at Shs 33.3 billion per year. The total annual requirement for prisoners’ accommodation is, therefore, Shs 52.3 billion Recommendation two by the committee was that the Government should develop the National Corrections Policy to guide transformation from penal to productive correction. The response is as follows. The development of National Corrections Policy is ongoing. Once complete, this policy will provide a framework for community participation as well as private sector and non-state actors’ involvement in offender rehabilitation and reintegration process. The regulatory impact assessment has been completed and a draft policy is being developed. The other issue raised was about the inadequate staff housing and accommodation. The committee recommended that the management of the prison should prioritise the construction of low-cost housing and should phase this using the incremental approach as a multi-year project for decent accommodation. The responses are as follows: The rate of growth of staff population is not matched with the rate of expansion of staff accommodation. Currently, 7,936 staff, which is 55.9 per cent, are not properly accommodated. In the Financial Year 2022/2023, the service completed 320 staff houses, increasing the proportion of staff properly housed, from 42.6 to 44.1 per cent. Shs 1.4 billion has been PRESENTATION OF ACTION -TAKEN REPORTS

11669 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA TUESDAY, 6 FEBRUARY 2024 In the Financial Year 2022/2023, the Service surveyed and titled five prisons land at Alocha, Kanungu, Ndorwa, Kibuku and Pece and procured land survey equipment aimed at fast- tracking the land surveying process. Mr Speaker, Shs 1.84 billion is required to survey and title all the unsurvey land. In the Financial Year 2023/2024, The Prisons plans to survey and title 24 prisons. What is required is Shs 0.75 billion, but provided is Shs is Shs 0.25 billion, giving a shortfall of Shs 0.5 billion. On gender and equity, mainstreaming the recommendation is that gender should be mainstreamed in all prison activities to increase gender sensitisation of all the inmates, and that gender monitoring office should be strengthened to monitor integration of gender in prison life and activities. The response is that all UPS programmes and activities are gender and equity compliant. In Financial Year 2023/2024, UPS was assessed as being compliant and awarded 70 per cent. For example, the UPS staff establishment is composed of 30 per cent females. The strategy is to be above 30 per cent female staff in the medium term. The service, Mr Speaker, established a fully- fledged gender office at Uganda Prisons headquarters, headed by a Commissioner of Prisons, Rehabilitation and Reintegration, who is charged with the responsibility of ensuring gender mainstreaming in all prisons activities and operations, as well as handling all the gender-related matters. Mr Speaker, the other issue raised is the Night- Soil-Bucket System, and the recommendation of the committee was that Prisons Service should provide adequate sanitary facilities and totally eliminate the Night-Soil-Bucket System in all prisons in Uganda. Our response is that the remaining prisons with no water closets are those with uniports and those in small single dilapidated houses at sub-counties former LAP, which cannot accommodate waterborne facilities. These are temporary holding facilities and the plan is to have permanent structures that have waterborne facilities, which will fully address the issue. The service plans to install water closets in the remaining 27 prisons, in a phased manner, through the construction of new prisoners’ wards fitted with water closets in their respective prisons. In Financial Year 2022/2023, the service constructed prisoners’ wards with water closets in Kiruhura and Kamuli prisons. Shs 10.8 billion is required to construct prisoners’ wards fitted with water closets in the remaining prisons. The committee also recommends that prison service should consider using bio-digesters and construct permanent latrines. The service will study the feasibility of the construction of bio- digesters in prisons. The other issue raised by the committee was about the rehabilitation programmes in prison service and it recommended that Government should enhance budgetary allocations for Uganda Prisons Service to boost implementations of the Presidential directives as well as funding for rehabilitation programmes to improve the lives of inmates while in custody and thereafter. We would like to respond to the point that the Uganda Prisons Service is currently undertaking a number of Presidential directives and these include seed production, cotton production, food and animal feed security intervention, prisons industries and staff welfare programmes, including staff accommodation. Shs 711.144 billion is required to establish production systems and undertake Presidential directives as shown in the table in the presentation as follows. Intervention i) Grain production – the required amount is Shs 76.140 billion; the provided amount is Shs 11.279 billion; the shortfall is Shs 64.861 billion. ii) Seed production – the required amount is Shs 86.990 billion; the provided amount

11581 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA THURSDAY, 1 FEBRUARY 2024 Introduction Mr Speaker, FMD is a highly contagious viral disease that affects all cloven-hoofed (two hoofed) animals. These include cattle, goats, sheep, pigs and wild animals such as buffaloes, deers and antelopes. The disease spreads very fast, through close contact between infected and non-infected animals. The disease is transmitted through aerosols (fluid droplets) breathed out by infected animals and contact with affected surfaces. The aerosols can be transported by wind to far areas. The affected animals get wounds in the mouth, feet and teats in female animals. FMD is the most dreaded disease in international trade of animals and animal products. Countries that have eradicated the disease do not allow trade with affected countries, or those that control the disease by vaccination. The disease causes significant economic losses to the farmers and to the country due to disruption in animal production, productivity and in trade of animal and animal products. Scientists and economists have estimated the economic cost of FMD to a farmer per unit livestock to be $20 per infection. The cost can be higher with repeated infections. Our target, therefore, as Government, is to not only control the disease but eradicate it. Mr Speaker, the ideal situation that enables any livestock producing country to fully control and eradicate FMD requires the following interventions: i) Undertaking a bi-annual compulsory vaccination exercise of the entire susceptible animal herd in the country (all two hoofed animals; cattle, sheep, goats and pigs). For purposes of universal coverage, compliance and bio-security considerations (since vaccines are live organisms), governments normally offer the vaccines as a public good. This, however, varies from country to country, depending on the number of animals and the budget implications for buying the vaccines recurrently. ii) Another control and eradication approach is the “test and slaughter” followed by safe disposal of the carcasses (burning and/or burying). When the veterinary authorities confirm the outbreak, they determine the affected animals and those at risk for destruction. This, however, is followed with compensation by the government, which is a very expensive practice. This is the practice in developed livestock-producing countries like the United Kingdom, among others. You kill or destroy, but compensate the farmer. iii) In addition to the above, movement control restrictions (quarantine) are always imposed either in part or as a whole in the affected geographical location depending on the epidemiological assessment by the competent authorities. The competent authorities, Mr Speaker, are veterinary authorities. These animal movement restrictions, however, are temporary measures to disrupt transmission but their duration depends on the discipline and compliance of the different stakeholders (farmers, traders, processors and enforcement agencies) and also on the country’s ability to implement interventions (i) and (ii) above. Current situation in the country Mr Speaker, there are 36 districts currently affected and under quarantine. These are; Budaka, Bukedea, Bukomansimbi, Bunyangabu, Butaleja, Fort Portal City, Gomba, Ibanda, Isingiro, Kabarole, Kassanda, Kayunga, Kazo, Kiboga, Kibuku, Kiruhura, Kumi, Kyankwanzi, Kyegegwa, Kyotera, Luuka, Lwengo, Lyantonde, Mbarara, Mbarara City, Mityana, Mpigi, Mubende, Nakaseke, Nakasongola, Namisindwa, Ngora, Ntungamo, Rakai, Rwampara and Ssembabule. All districts neighbouring the aforementioned districts are at high risk, under strict surveillance and the authorities are advised to remain vigilant. These include; Apac, Amolatar, Bugiri, Bushenyi, Butaleja, Hoima, Iganga, Jinja, Kabale, Kaberamaido, Kaliro, Kamuli,

Read the full speech, word for word
Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. I bring condolences from Kamuli constituency, where Cecilia was a guest on 17 September 2022. She arrived unexpectedly as we were celebrating with my supporters, all the way from Dokolo. Condolences to “Mr Smart”. That is how she called her husband, Smart Ogwal- and the family. Secondly, I want to speak to her patriotism. One of the things we take for granted in this House is health insurance. When she was a Commissioner of Parliament - I think I can say this: We used to give Members money to pay for medical insurance, but they would not pay. When they fell sick, they would come to me and say, “you know” - so we would struggle. Where do we get money? We gave you money, you did not go to the insurance. She brought a proposal that we should pay directly to the insurance companies. (Applause) So, I dispatched her together with Hon. Nabbanja. I sent them to Tanzania to check what the Parliament there does. I also sent them to Nairobi and to South Africa. We even sent her to India because she was trying to link Parliament to the hospitals in India so that we could have direct access. But, of course, we did not succeed on that. That is one of the things I credit her for in this House. She was really a Ugandan at heart. Many times, I went out with her - when I first travelled with Cecilia abroad, I was worried. I said, “what is she going to say at this meeting?” But, when we got there, she said, “Madam, I am a Ugandan, I will never speak against my country”. Throughout her tenure, this is what she did. (Applause) She would defend vigorously. She would attack anyone who was trying to attack Uganda. I credit her for that. The other one was her relentless campaign for multi-party democracy. Cecilia campaigned and campaigned and campaigned. They used to quarrel with the President and everyone until, finally, we agreed that multi-party should come back. She is a voice that contributed to that. I want to thank God for her life. Here, I used to call her Hon. Ogwal, but in the office, I called her Atat . She is someone who would just enter and say, “this is Ogwal, I am here.” Then I say, “but you should have told me.” She would say, “no, no, it is okay. I am here.” She would just announce herself in that manner. That was Cecilia. We shall miss her. May God rest her soul in eternal peace.

11169 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA WEDNESDAY, 29 NOVEMBER 2023 Possibilities and opportunities have, therefore, been opened for everyone thanks to the Government’s big tent approach. In summary, the space that allows for the emergence of such diverse but special and expression can be anything but shrinking. Issues to do with the November 2020 riots and attendant loss of lives, injuries, destruction and related matters - Madam Speaker, this is yet one other additional response on this matter and all others incidental thereto. Contrary to what the Leader of the Opposition claims, an investigation was done immediately after the riots and a report to that effect was presented to the last Parliament by the then Minister of Internal Affairs. That, in addition to other subsequent numerous responses made about the subject matter, including in this Parliament, I needed to make that clarification from the onset to clear the air. That said, and by way of a recap, violent riots broke out and rocked various parts of the country in November 2020 before they were quelled by police and other security agencies. These riots covered Kampala and Wakiso, which were the epicenter of the riots, as well as Mukono, Masaka, Kyotera, Lwengo, Mpigi, Luwero, Wobulenzi, Mityana, Lugazi, Njeru, Jinja, Buwenge, Iganga, Namayingo, Namutumba, Luuka, Kamuli, Budaka, Busia, Mbale, Arua and Gulu, respectively. During these riots, extensive loss of property, (private and public) and damage to and loss of lives were registered. The destruction incidental to the riots, or directly arising from the various riotous acts, was immense. This included; deliberate acts of arson, or torching of buildings and vehicles, use of stones and other objects to hit innocent members of the public, motorists, security personnel and property, physical assault, manhandling and abuse of members of the public as well as law enforcement officers, staging of illegal roadblocks and demanding money with menaces from members of the public. There was also burning of tires to damage and block public roads and throwing petrol bombs into buildings and at security/law enforcement officers, among others. During this chaos, even ordinary sanctified places like court premises were not spared. Wobulenzi Court premises were set ablaze. Fifty six people lost their lives, including those by gunshot wounds and others whose deaths were through other causes incidental to the riots. The latter category includes those that lost their lives as a result of motor vehicle accidents, involving for example, vehicle registration number UAN 827N, whose driver lost control after being hit by a stone and knocked two people dead namely; Nalwada Kevin and Nsimbe Shafik. Forty six people out of the 56 victims were male adults and three were male juveniles. Forty eight of the victims were from Kampala metropolitan areas. This includes Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono. Two were from Jinja, two from Luwero, one from Rakai, one from Kinoni in Lwengo, one from Butambala and one from Mpigi, respectively. Madam Speaker, security operations are governed by the law to ensure and guide the participating forces on the employment of lethal force. This is ensured through a number of ways, including training, briefing before operations, and debriefing post-operations, as well as dissemination of rules of engagement, which have been distilled and reduced into pocketbooks for the tactical operators. The standard operating procedures on the use of force booklet is attached as Annex B to this statement. These are the aid memoirs to assist operators to make informed and rational judgment depending on the circumstances of each case and the prevailing situation, but mindful of the principles of necessity and proportionality in the use of force. These measures, Madam Speaker, were in place. The investigations done post the riots established the cause of death and injury without conclusive findings about the circumstances of each of the deaths and injuries; save for Auxiliary No.01700LDF Mustapha Ssali, who was charged and convicted for the killing of

11098 MINISTERIAL STATEMENT The Kampala-Jinja section will include eight lanes for the first three kilometres and six lanes for the next 17 kilometres and four lanes for the remaining 54 kilometres. The Kampala Southern Bypass will have four lanes for 20 kilometres connecting the Northern Bypass at Namboole National Stadium to Entebbe Expressway Spur at Munyonyo. The Kampala-Jinja Expressway Project is to be undertaken as a Public Private Partnership (PPP)in accordance with the PPP Act, 2015. The private partner will finance, design, construct, operate and maintain the road for 30 years. The procurement process for the right private sector partner is ongoing and is expected to be completed by the end of this financial year. Once the procurement is done, the works will commence after the developer has secured the private capital required for the construction works. The construction period is planned to take five years. In preparation for the construction works, the Government of Uganda is currently acquiring the land for the project. So far, the land required for 44 kilometres has been acquired. This includes 14 kilometres along the Southern Bypass and 30 kilometres along the Kampala- Jinja main line. The progress of the compensation has been slowed down by some challenges, for example, lack of ownership documents and contestation of ownership. By December 2024, the Government targets to have acquired the full section from Kampala to Namagunga and the whole Kampala Southern Bypass. The rest of the land from Namagunga to Jinja is planned to be acquired by December 2025. In the meantime, the Government will continue to maintain the existing Kampala-Jinja Road in a motorable condition and to ensure the smooth flow of traffic along that route. I would like to assure you and the public that the Government of Uganda is committed to ensuring that the Kampala-Jinja Expressway Project is implemented to improve efficiency of Uganda’s transport infrastructure. Hon. Henry-Maurice Kibalya, Member of Parliament, Bugabula County South. He raised a matter concerning a group of people that migrated and settled in Namwenda Subcounty dealing in moneylending business and harassing members of the community. His prayer is that: Can the Prime Minister inform him whether the Government is aware of these moneylenders in Kamuli? Madam Speaker, Kamuli is one of the districts in Busoga Subregion. It has 14 subcounties and four counties. Some of the subcounties are Namwendwa, Nawanyango, Kisozi, Bulawoli, Kisambira and Mbulamuti. The four constituencies are Bugabula North, Bugabula South, Buzaaya and Kamuli Municipality. The total population is approximately 446,000 people. The main economic activity is farming and the main crops grown are sugarcane and rice. The people need money to boost their farming activities, thus they need to get loans from moneylenders. Madam Speaker, there are 32 registered moneylenders in Kamuli District. They demand for the borrower’s national ID as part of security for the loan. Other lenders demand for household items such as chairs, fridges, etc. In case of defaulting in making payments, they grab the properties and, in some instances, illegally detain them. I have attached a list of moneylenders in Kamuli District. Madam Speaker, the district security committee embarked on a mass sensitisation to the locals to desist from using national IDs as collateral to reinforce the guidance recently given by the [Ms Nabbanja] PRIME MINISTER’S TIME

10744 TRIBUTE T O T HE L ATE HON. HENRY K . M . K Y EMBA what is remembered. I see some of you trying to hide; it is wrong to hide a wrong. Please do not, for heaven’s sake. What they will be speaking about you is exactly that. If there is something going wrong in the country, we are all cooked as Ugandans. It takes sober voices, like the one of Hon. Kyemba to tell Amin “Please, there is this; why can’t you sort it out?” and a soul is saved. Regimes commit mistakes every other day but sober people in those regimes help. Sometimes they are overwhelmed and there is nothing you can do about it. However, if you are serving a regime and it is committing a mistake and you have a voice, please say, “This is wrong.” You may say it internally; you do not have to go in the newspapers or social media, but we expect you when you have an opportunity to point it out. How do you for heaven’s sake- Somebody saying one person has been kidnapped and you come to the House and say “No, it has not happened.” What is the difference between you and the one who served Amin and committed a crime? Honourable members, Hon. Kyemba was a great statesman. Why? Basoga can own him naturally because he came from our place. By the way, his first primary school - Rt Hon. Kadaga, was Busesa Primary School in Bugweri. The foundation of his education is Bugweri – (Laughter)- and indeed, many of the big Basoga personalities, it is Bugweri-founded, including Rt Hon. Rebecca Kadaga; she is our daughter from Bugweri. We donated her to Kamuli - (Interjection) isn’t that so? Even Rt Hon. Nakadama is from Bugweri and we donated her to Mayuge - (Interjection)- Yes, ask her. She is from Buwooya and you can go on. Whether you are talking about Hon. Wanume Kibedi, Mr Luwuliza-Kirunda, Hon. Kirunda Kivejinja, mention it –(Interjections)- and yours truly, of course. (Laughter) For us, at that time, Busesa Primary School produced some of the best and we are happy that we donated Hon. Henry Kyemba to this country. The testimony of non-Basoga because – Mr Speaker, 60 per cent of the people who have spoken today are non-Basoga; therefore, it ceases even to be a tribal issue. How many of you are beyond your small little tribes, and clans? Everybody wants to say, “I am a Musoga; I am a Munyankole ; I am Lango,” but it does not work in this Parliament. We should be saying, “We are Ugandans.” That is why that man managed to serve the Rotary movement – because it was “service beyond self.” In Rotary, they do not know their tribes and religions. That is why you see them as nationalists and statesmen. Hon. Kyemba was soft-spoken. By the way, he was not an orator but he was a communicator and very knowledgeable. That is an encyclopaedia lying in that coffin today. And my young brother, Hon. Nathan, has just talked about it; you could ask Henry Kyemba anything and he would have an answer. As a country, we have lost one of one of our finest. Hon. Kyemba, travel well and rest in peace.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I would like to appreciate the detailed submission by the honourable minister. I have two or three observations to make. One, when COVID-19 struck, this country spent a substantial amount of money to deal with the COVID-19 problem, including us accessing our funds at the IMF. I thank the minister and the team for really dealing with the matter and now we have a near-normalised situation. My concern, though, is that money has been spent on buying vaccines and, according to the report by the minister, these vaccines are scheduled to expire in 2024. At the same time, the acceptance rate of vaccinations has gone down. Mr Speaker, this is on account of the suspicions around the side effects of the vaccines. European Parliament as well as the USA and the subject matter experts have indicated that these vaccines have problems. This informa - tion is on Youtube. In fact, the European Union is now asking its nationals and medics to re - move the vaccines from shelves. Yet, here the minister is saying we should continue with vaccination. Mr Speaker, can the minister give us assur - ance that they fully understand the side effects of these vaccines and that as a country, we are safe? The second issue - (Member timed out.) MR JOHN TEIRA (NRM, Bugabula Coun - ty North, Kamuli ) Thank you, Mr Speaker. I also thank the honourable minister for the re - port. It is the policy of Government under the Ministry of Health to have a health centre IV at constituency level. One of the challenges we experienced during COVID-19 was the ambulance services. There are many constituencies that have not yet benefited from this policy because of the usu - al financial constraints. What is the status of the ambulance service to the already existing health centres III, which support these constit - uencies? In particular, Bugabula North Con - stituency should be one of the areas of priority because it is a hard-to-reach area due to its ter - rain. Thank you.

There is no international gathering or conference that can pull crowds like when we host games. In 2027, I am very sure Uganda is going to host people that it has never hosted before. It is going to have a population that will disorganise the whole set up of Uganda. This is the time and we have three years to prepare for this. Mr Speaker, I have heard colleagues suggesting that the stadium should be in Fort Portal, Hoima or somewhere. This is not an event for Kampala, Fort Portal or Hoima alone. It is for Uganda as a whole. We need to see the Ministry of Education and Sports coming to do some renovation work at Bugembe Stadium so that when a participating country comes, they can go for training in Jinja and stay there for two days as they prepare to come and play at Namboole or Nakivubo stadia.

Let it not be centralised in Kampala as if they have only come to visit Kampala. We want every region to benefit in whichever formula.

I have a police post but the officer in Charge does not have a motorcycle. There is nothing and she is alone. The next police post is around 15 kilometres away. And there are no police officers. Through your office, can we have police come to the rescue of these people? Give motorcycles, put fuel. You find somebody there and he or she does not know what to do next. Can we facilitate these people and see how best they can respond because these people can move from Lubaga and you will hear they are in Kamuli, in Bugabula South, and I will come here and begin crying? Before I cry, let the officers get facilitated-

When the Clerk sent the resolution, when we went to Kamuli, they said they cannot act on those. They preferred ones from the minister. So, we are wondering what is going to happen and I pray the Whip answers. Secondly, about fuel, last season the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development left very fast and said he had appropriated Shs 4 billion; Shs 2 billion for last season and Shs 2 billion for this season about the seeds. The season has ended, fuel prices are increasing and peasants have nothing to do. The Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development has equally not yet given us the seeds for this season yet he accepted that Shs 4 billion had been earmarked; Shs 2 billion last season and Shs 2 billion this season. So, could we know where the seeds for this season are? Thank you.

9934 RESOLUTION TO BORROW forms of money lending: the “easy loan” and the “quick loan”. Originally, when they came, they were polite. After sometime, when they wanted to recover the money they had lent out, they began moving with sticks, which they call “ enkoni” . Mr Speaker, this group is untouchable. When they are recovering their money, they arrest people. They either move with boda bodas or a “drone”, but with sticks . When recovering the money, they arrest and beat people. Those that were beaten tried to report the matter to the police, but the response they got from the police was that those people are untouchable. They reported to Namwendwa Police Post, but they feared the group. Those who were beaten went to Kamuli Police Station, where there even the District Police Commander is, but he also feared them, saying, “Those people are untouchable.” Mr Speaker, some of the people who were beaten include Kisame, a boda boda rider from Bugoole Zone, Kisa Alamanzan from Kyeya and Frank Lubaale from Market Zone. The recent incident, which was very shaming, was that on Sunday, this group went and invaded a church called “Personal Christian Assembly”. The church had hosted Bazungu. So, they were praising and singing and all of a sudden, these people entered the church and began beating a pastor called Waiswa. The rest of the people in the church fled. This was a scandal, Mr Speaker. To pay back these people’s loan, you have to deposit Shs 4,000 per day. If you miss two days without paying, these people will come for you. What is more terrible -

Thank you so much, Mr Speaker. As a Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation, based on our mandate, we took a visit to a number of projects where TRIDI undertook the sericulture project. Sericulture is the growing of silk worms and silk worms are fed on mulberry leaves. This is a project that came into being under the Innovation Fund, which His Excellency, the President advocated for saying we should give more funds to scientists to innovate. One of the principal investigators wrote a project, which was successful, titled, “Evaluating the Utility of Sericulture and Apiculture Technologies and Innovations as tools for Household Wealth Creation and Employment Generation in Uganda.” This project was carried out in 24 districts. I am sure some of you, Members, could be having a lot of information about some of these projects, which are in your districts. So far, Government has injected Shs 31,235,912,000. As part of our mandate, we noted that there were a number of management challenges and so, we took it upon ourselves to go and visit these projects. We had also received a petition from Sheema Sericulture project because of the way the project was being handled. It is based on this background that we visited the areas of Bulambuli, Mukono, Kayunga, Kamuli, Iganga, Kween, and Sheema. The report is already uploaded. Members can have a look it. Because of time, I am going to go straight to the observations and later, I will go to the way forward.

Thank you, Mr Speaker, for the opportunity. My concern is about the vision of increasing Uganda’s coffee production to 20 million bags by 2030. In my constituency, I am a coffee farmer and a member of the Kamuli-Kiwose Coffee Cooperative. Sometime back, the Government used to supply fertilisers and pesticides and right now it is no longer providing seedlings. This is false hope. How are you going to attain this vision, seriously speaking? As you look at the solutions, I suggest that the Government should use organised institutions like the Buganda Kingdom that brought a programme called “Emmwanyi terimba” under the leadership of Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga. They are doing very well under that programme supplying coffee seedlings and fertilisers. They can use other kingdoms like Bunyoro and Busoga because they are more organised than the Executive. Lastly, about the arrears of about Shs 42 billion, I suggest that the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development should commit and at least say that under the supplementary schedule, this money is provided because our – (Member timed out.)

9121 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA THURSDAY, 15 JUNE 2023 Madam Speaker, after the on-going audit of the Government payroll, the ban on recruitment will also be lifted to enable cover the staffing gaps in education. Government will continue to support sports activities and entertainment talents and enforce copyrights for performing artists. Safe Water The national coverage for safe and clean water for human consumption now stands at 70 per cent; with 67 per cent in rural areas and 72 per cent in urban areas, but we still need more. In rural areas, gravity flow schemes have been completed at Lirima in Manafwa, Lukalu- Kabasanda in Butambala and Nyabuhikye- Kikyenke in Ibanda. Piped water systems have also been constructed at Nyakabingo in Rukungiri, Kabuyanda in Isingiro, and Orom Water Supply System in Kitgum-Lamwo. In addition, 40 solar-powered mini-piped schemes serving 173,000 persons have been constructed across 15 least-served districts including Lyantonde, Sembabule, Yumbe, Rakai, Buyende, Kamuli and Kakumiro. In urban areas, nine piped water supply and sanitation systems have been completed in Dokolo, Padibe - Lamwo, Odramacaku - Arua, Kagadi, Morulem and Alerek (Abim), and Kambuga II in Kanungu. Access to safe and clean water will be enhanced to achieve 85 per cent coverage in rural areas and 100 per cent coverage in urban areas by the year 2025. Next year, the main activities towards this goal include the construction of 1,540 boreholes in 1,050 villages and town wards; building 49 large, 67 medium and 80 small piped water schemes in both urban and rural areas, and the rehabilitation and maintenance of 50 water systems in growth centres. Interventions that build human capital have been allocated Shs 9.57 trillion, representing 18.2 per cent of the total budget. In addition, the Government, together with the World Bank, are implementing the $500 million in Uganda through the Intergovernmental Fiscal Transfer programme to construct health centres III, IV, seed secondary schools and micro-scale irrigation facilities in local governments that do not have these facilities. Enhancing Infrastructure Stock and Quality The stock and quality of infrastructure is a key enabler for economic growth, development and social transformation. Transport Infrastructure Transport infrastructure development has been a major hallmark of Uganda’s recent economic development. The road sector in 1986 totalled 7,900 km. Today, it has expanded twenty-fold to almost 160,000 km. While only 6,700 km of today’s road network is paved, the road network now allows access to even the remotest parts of Uganda. Next financial year, we will substantially complete 16 national road projects including Atiak-Laropi, Moroto-Lokitanyala, Kawuku- Bwerenga, Namugonde-Bugiri, Nsambya- Mukwano, the Kampala Flyover and Rushere Town and Kyamate Access roads. In addition, priority will be accorded to maintenance of existing road networks, both national and District Urban and Community Access Roads (DUCAR). The Bukungu-Kagwara- Kaberamaido (BKK) Ferry and related landing sites, and Lake Bunyonyi ferries and their landing sites will also be completed.

The construction of 115 seed secondary schools in the subcounties, which do not have these schools at the moment, will continue in the next financial year. To improve school learning and accountability in Government-supported schools, the following will be undertaken starting next financial year: (a) Strengthen the link between education and socio-economic transformation by promotion of Science, Technology En - gineering and Mathematics in education, research and incubation; (b) Enhancing the technical capacity and skills to support industrial growth especially manufacturing; (c) Electronic tracking of enrolment, dropout and retention, and identifying learners, teachers and institutions using ICT capabilities; (d) Improving the overall staffing levels in the schools and; (e) Development of a complete national vocational qualification framework. With our oil money, we shall be able to complete our targets of a Government primary school per parish and a Government secondary school per subcounty. The railway, electricity, technical and science education as well as some national roads, will be the elements our oil money will deal with. I intend to meet with the Petroleum Authority of Uganda and the oil companies to harmonise so that we do not miss the target of 2025 as the first oil date. (Applause) I do not want this Petroleum Authority of Uganda to delay our programme with petty things; local content. Let us start. Health Over the last three years, since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Government has strengthened health systems. This included equipping regional and national referral hospitals and 225 health centres II have been renovated and upgraded to health centres III. In addition, we have strengthened the capacity of the country in vaccine development.

The health management and response teams are handling COVID-19 as well as Hepatitis B and extending effective services to host communities and refugees. Madam Speaker, we enjoin our political leaders and other community leaders to take lead in the vaccination and screening exercise of COVID-19 and Hepatitis B so that the population embraces the exercise to save the host communities and refugees in Adjumani District. Hon. Norah Bigirwa Nyendwoha, Woman Representative for Buliisa, said that many parts of the country are facing drought, which is affecting the production of food and cash crops. The farmers are entering the first season of the year and usually, it is very short with little rain. Government, over time, has been promising to support Ugandan farmers - both small and large scale - with irrigation schemes for the farmers to access water for production. However, this seems not to have taken off and many farmers are worried. Her prayers are that: I should assure this House and our farmers the extent of Government’s assurance to access water for production. When is the Government fulfilling the promise on the solar power irrigation systems? My response is that the Government has continued its efforts to invest and improve access to water for production. The Government, through the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, is supervising the construction of six irrigation schemes in different parts of the country including Mubuku II, Doho II, Ngenge and Rwengaju, to mention, but a few. Construction of the irrigation schemes including Acomai in Sironko and Atari in Kween have started. The Government has supported farmers and farmer groups by installing solar-powered irrigation schemes in various sites in the districts of Ntungamo, Hoima, Mubende, Kamuli, Koboko, Kumi, Kabale, Mukono, Kiboga, Buvuma, Ssembabule, Kayunga, Yumbe, Kaberamaido, Kaliro, Buikwe, Masindi, Butambala, Bukomansimbi, Kapachorwa, Iganga, Kaabong, Rukungiri, Amolatar, Adjumani, Mbale, Pader, Rukiga, Nakaseke and Katakwi, among others. This is to promote adoption of improved and efficient water for agricultural technologies for the crops and livestock. The Government has constructed over 1,555 valley tanks with a total holding capacity of 10,840,000 cubic metres in order to address the challenge of water for animals, especially in the cattle corridor and drought prone districts. Honourable members, even Buliisa will eventually benefit. Hon. Geoffrey Macho, Member of Parliament for Busia Municipality asked that Busia Boarder Seed Secondary School is located in Mukungu B Village, Central Parish, Eastern Division in Busia Municipality. The school was started in 2019 and had an enrolment of 497 students by the close of year 2022. The school was started as a response to Government’s policy of having public secondary schools at subcounty level. It also came as a result of a Presidential pledge. Though Busia Municipality donated land of approximately 25 acres, the Government has not come up clearly to ensure that people benefit from the Uganda Secondary Education Expansion Programme (USEP). His prayers are that: 1. The Ministry of Education and Sports comes out clearly on the USEP in relation to this school before term one of 20 – Madam Speaker, these questions came earlier, but since we have not had a chance – it says at the start of the term. 2. The ministry should implement the Presidential pledge.

He told me, “Give me your number.” I told him, “Rt Honourable, but you used it to call me.” He said, “No, it is my PA.” He then said, “Let me have your number.” When I gave him my number, he said, “You are using your late mother’s number” and I said, “Yes.” He then said, “I wish when I leave this earth, my son or my daughter can use my number.” I feel so hurt that whenever I call that number, it is off.

6728 TRIBUTE TO THE LATE HON. PATRICK OKABE it is a Kenyan registration number. He cannot disappear unless he jumped onto a boda boda and boarded from somewhere, but he would have been got. Madam Speaker, the prayer from the family to the Government is that we need to do a thorough investigation to establish whether there was no foul play in this matter. We have talked about the issues on the road. I think we have the laws, but the problem, in most cases, is enforcement of these laws. Most of you that go through that road know that at that point, it is a very good road. By the way, it even has humps in Naboa. How did this happen? That is why the family is asking for that. Honourable colleagues, we thank you for turning up in good numbers. I add my voice to what the Speaker has stated here; we thank you. Madam Speaker, may the good Lord that has kept us continue to keep you. Thank you for being there for us. My mother died in your hands when I was out of this country. There are many others that you have shown that heart. May God continue to guide and protect you. It has become a habit for you to do these good things. We can only pray to God that he keeps you strong and alive, as we continue this political journey in this country to steer this country. You are welcome to Serere for the burial. I want to give directions. You can access Serere in a number of ways; by water, air or the main route to Soroti Flying School and just drive 17 miles. You will be in Ocaapa. It is not very far from Ocaapa Town Council in Serere. If you are driving, from Kumi you go to Ngora and cross to Serere. It is about 45 kilometres. However, his place is less than 40 kilometres away. The place is not very far from the road from Ocaapa. You can go up to Soroti or if you are coming from Lira - because it is all tarmac all the way to Soroti. Then you come from Soroti to Ocaapa, which is a good murram road. You can also go from Soroti to Serere and then to Ocaapa; you will not get lost. If you are from Kamuli, it is much shorter, if you do not fear water. Within only 20 minutes, you could be on the side of Pingire and you are in Serere or from Bukungwe in Kamuli to Kagwara and then to Serere. However, we advise you to come from Kumi, Ngora on that murram road or when from Soroti to Serere, you will be able to find us there. Madam Speaker, we would like, once again, to thank you. To the family, to our father, thank you for the good mentorship you gave us in the church. To the children, I know one son is arriving. He has just landed. We are expecting the daughters, but we do not know whether they will be able to make it. We thank Papa and Toto . We shall keep you in our prayers, but we remain your children, to try to comfort you. Omoding and Okabe, who are here and the whole family - if the family finds it befitting to have a replacement from the family, we are available to be deployed. (Applause) If the family finds it fit that the replacement must come from the family, I think we should be able to support. I will be leaving that with the family to do that. Finally, Psalm 73:26 is a verse I want to leave with the family and all of us. It says: “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” May God bless you! May the soul of our brother, Hon.

6406 TRIBUTE TO THE LATE DR PAUL KAWANGA SSEMWOGERERE to appraise the life of Dr Ssemogerere is odious an exercise and a tall order at the same time. I will only attempt, all the same, in the hope that I will do justice to his larger-than-life profile. I knew Dr Ssemogerere from childhood as a close friend to my late father and as our representative both in Parliament and the Constituent Assembly, representing the people of Busiro South constituency where I was born. From humble beginnings, he was the last of the eight children born to Joseph Bagenda Kapere, a fisherman – as mentioned by the Prime Minister – and Maria Louisa Namwendero on 11 February 1932 at Rumangi Catholic Mission in Ssese Islands, in the present-day Kalangala District. He came early to grief when he lost his father in 1933, only one year after his birth; he grew up under the Church of the Catholic White Sisters in Kisubi, where his mother worked as a domestic cook to support the young family. He would later attend St Mary’s College Kisubi, Makerere University, Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania and obtained a Doctorate in Public Administration, in addition to the Honorary Doctorate mentioned earlier by the Prime Minister. Mr Speaker, Mahatma Gandhi remarkably stated that the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. I could not agree more, that the life and career of Dr Ssemogerere resonates accurately with Gandhi’s timeless discourse. In 1958, at the age of 27, he resigned from his comfortable teaching job to join and work with the late Rt Hon. Ben Kiwanuka here at Parliament. From 1961 to 1962, he was a member of the LEGCO where he represented the country with diligence and later, represented North Mengo in Parliament. It is also true that in 1969, together with the late Ben Kiwanuka, he was detained under the Public Order and Safety Act, passed by the regime in power in 1967. He has witnessed and personally taken the brunt of the state’s repression of political opposition and its reliance on security responses to political matters. I personally witnessed how he was brutalised with tear gas and bullets, while attending graduation parties of two Young Democrats he had helped to educate at Nkozi and Kamuli. I was in attendance, in addition to the brutality he suffered at the Constitutional Square during the quest for the restoration of multiparty democracy in Uganda. Dr Ssemogerere was again thrust into the deep affairs after the National Consultative Council (NCC) voted Prof. Lule out of office on 20 June 1979. All of you still have memories - if you were born then – of the famous “No Lule, no work,” and what followed at the current Constitutional Square. He continued to be a member of the Democratic Party for as long as political parties were allowed to operate, and I wish to make a correction; it is not true that while he served under the NRM Government, he was President of the Democratic Party, because political parties had been suspended until the promulgation of the 1995 Constitution under Article 269, that he fought with vigour until it was amended or repealed. The late Dr Ssemogerere would go on to lead the Opposition in Parliament under those very difficult circumstances where he served both as Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Minister of Defence. When the Government in power in the 1980s was being fought on several fronts by among others; the Rwenzururu Movement, the Uganda Freedom Movement (UFM), Uganda National Rescue Front, the Former Uganda National Army (FUNA) and then the National Resistance Army (NRA), Dr Ssemogerere resorted to serving as Leader of the Opposition and used that office to rescue countless lives from the infamous “panda gari”.

Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. Rt Hon. Prime Minister, there is a death trap at the junction running from Iganga around Walugogo, on the road that goes to Luuka. In 2020, His Excellency the President, with the then Speaker of Parliament and ministers, commissioned the construction of this road from Walugogo-Luuka-Bulopa to Kamuli. Road equipment were assembled from the biggest to the smallest during that commissioning. Rt Hon. Prime Minister, to-date, all these equipment were removed and nothing has taken place. I am inquiring why the road equipment –(Member timed out.)

Mr Speaker, I got a question from Hon. Alex Brandon Kintu, Member of Parliament, Jinja District, Kagoma North Constituency. He said that in 2001, the President promised that Government would tarmac Jinja- Mbulamuti-Kamuli-Bukungu Road, which is also known as the Amber Court Road. The road has featured in successive budget speeches from 2001 to 2021. His question is: “ When is Government going to work on this road? Can you provide an update on any plans to fulfil the Presidential pledge on this matter?” Mr Speaker, my response is that Jinja- Mbulamuti-Kamuli Road is a national road managed by the Ministry of Works and

4966 MOTION FOR A RESOLUTION released what I had; I would have wished to release whatever you wanted.” Tomorrow, the minister is going to submit what he released, but it will not cure our problem. Mr Speaker, wouldn’t be procedurally right, through your office, to hold a very extensive meeting with the concerned authorities so that you get a solution for this, so that instead of coming here to read for us reports stating that, “We failed to do this; we did this,” we get a solution. Otherwise, even if Hon. Lugoloobi comes tomorrow to tell us what he released for Kamuli, it will not help me; I want roads in Kamuli.

“Unfortunately, the programme only ended in Kampala and the surrounding areas, yet it could have benefitted most of our people from Kamuli, Karamoja and all other areas upcountry.”
Read the full speech, word for word
Thank you, Mr Speaker. Colleagues have congratulated Ndugu Obua. I have got regards – Ndugu Obua went through a secondary school, which the Rt Hon. Rebecca Kadaga studied from. So, she has asked me to convey her regards and congratulations to him, since she is his old girl (OG). (Laughter) Mine are on two areas. First, the seed schools are given to a subcounty. There are subcounties with a parish, those with three and those with 10 parishes. However, collectively, whether a subcounty has a parish, three or 10 parishes, they consider it a subcounty and give it a seed school, which disadvantages most students that we need to help. The chairperson also talked about skilling Uganda, which was started by His Excellency the President. Unfortunately, the programme only ended in Kampala and the surrounding areas, yet it could have benefitted most of our people from Kamuli, Karamoja and all other areas upcountry. This is an area that I request we take note of. If skilling Uganda is to be meaningful, can we have it rolled out upcountry instead of having it only in Kampala? It is only in the four divisions of Kampala. Therefore, since the minister is here and the chairperson has hinted on it, we request that the minister and the Members concerned ensure skilling Uganda is rolled out upcountry as well, in order to support disadvantaged communities. Thank you.
