Today I chaired the national Post-Budget Dialogue convened by @CSBAGUGANDA and @mofpedU We moved beyond headline figures to interrogate how the FY2026/27 Budget can more effectively catalyse investment, improve allocative efficiency, and convert fiscal choices into expanded opportunities and household wealth. In a time of constrained fiscal space, such rigorous, multi-stakeholder scrutiny is not performative—it is foundational to legitimate and transformative public finance. #PostBudgetDialogue #UgandaBudget #FiscalPolicy

I interacted with the Parliamentary committee on Appointments following my nomination to serve as Minister of Finance planning and economic development in the Cabinet of 2026-2031. I shared our progress,outlined Ugandas current economic robust base line,and committed to the roadmap for Ugandas economic growth agenda. Going forward my focus is to transition Uganda from incremental growth to exponential takeoff through five pillars 1. The USD 500 Billion Target: Relentlessly execute the Tenfold Growth Strategy to turn Uganda into a half-trillion-dollar economy by 2040. 2. Enforcing Absolute Discipline: Shift the Ministry’s culture from spending money to enforcing results. I will demand strict budget discipline, aggressive procurement reforms, and rigorous value-for-money audits on all public projects. 3. Aggressive Revenue Mobilisation: Implement the second Domestic Revenue Mobilisation Strategy (DRMS) to push our revenue-to-GDP ratio to at least 20%, cutting external dependence. 4. Presidential Wealth Creation Agenda: Prioritize funding and tracking the commercialisation of smallholders to ensure every Ugandan enters the money economy. 5. Smart Oil Governance: Manage our impending oil revenues with bulletproof institutional guardrails. We will use oil to build infrastructure and muscle, ensuring Uganda becomes an oil producer, but never an oil-dependent economy. Over the last five years, we delivered key budgets and reforms, secured Uganda’s exit from the FATF Grey List, strengthened fiscal institutions, and formulated the Tenfold Growth Strategy. Today, Uganda’s economy is strong and accelerating: 7% growth this year, rising to 10.2% with First Oil; GDP at USD 68.4 billion; inflation at 3.3%; debt sustainable at 52.7% of GDP; FDI up 151% to USD 3.66 billion; exports doubled to USD 16.25 billion; and URA projected to finance 80% of the discretionary budget. Formal jobs more than tripled to 2.32 million. UGX 4.4 trillion via PDM has reached 10,589 parishes empowering over 4 million Ugandans while Emyooga has Transformed 2.48 million lives. I am deeply honoured by the trust reposed in me by H.E. the President @KagutaMuseveni and I assure him and the people of Uganda of my unwavering commitment to steering our nation's economic agenda towards sustainable growth, prosperity, and improved livelihoods. I look forward to working collaboratively with stakeholders to drive Uganda's development ambitions.

Today, myself and the Director General of Health Services joined stakeholders and partners for the official launch of Uganda’s first National Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology Strategic Plan (NRAT-SP) 2025–2030, a major step towards improving equitable access to quality rehabilitation and assistive technology services for all Ugandans, especially persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. At the same event, assistive equipment including wheelchairs, walking supporters, crutches etc was handed over to support persons in need and strengthen access to rehabilitation services across communities. We remain committed to advancing Universal Health Coverage and ensuring that no one is left behind.

QUALIFICATIONS CAN OPEN DOORS, BUT IT IS PRODUCTIVITY THAT WILL KEEP YOU IN THE ROOM Our education and academic qualifications are definitely important achievements, as they will open doors for us, but it is not qualifications but our skills...

I am happy to announce that @EUinUG is opening a Consulate General on Kalangala Islands to promote Ugandan pineapple exports. Ugandan pineapple is the best in the world - the EU must experience it! A dedicated airport is being built to ensure it arrives fresh in Brussels. 🇪🇺🍍🇺🇬

"You need to transmit from physical accessibility to digital accessibility. Makerere University needs to revise regulations on disability and digitization because we have PWD students who require special digital gadgets even in exams, which may not be permitted in the existing regulations." @ProfMuhwezi at the disability awareness Day

🌍 Today, we stand with the world to mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDD) under the theme: “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing progress.” This day reminds us of our collective responsibility to build communities where every person is respected, supported, and empowered. It calls us to deepen our understanding of disability issues and to champion the dignity, rights, and well-being of persons living with disabilities. Let’s work together to create spaces where everyone can participate fully. 💙✨ #EnablingChange

Uganda has strong commitments in place. To accelerate progress for children and persons with disabilities, we are jointly calling for four priority actions from @GovUganda. ⬇️ #IDPD2025 #InvestInUGchildren #DisabilityInclusion

People with disabilities make up an estimated one billion of the world’s population. Yet their right to #DecentWork is still too often denied. By including them, companies, individuals and society at large all win. #DisabilityDay

1 in 6 people globally is a person with disabilities. For many people, digital spaces bring both empowerment and risk. On the International Day for Persons with #Disabilities, join @UNFPA to build a safe and equitable world–online and offline: unf.pa/dpd #16Days

Today, I represented H.E. President @KagutaMuseveni at the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) celebrations in Mubende District. The President appreciated the PWDs for their contributions to the development of the country. He thanked them for embracing wealth creation programmes such as the Parish Development Model and affirmative action initiatives like National Special Grant for Persons with Disabilities. The President said he is pleased to have received many testimonies from PWDs who have transformed their lives through the four-acre model. @NUDIPU @NRMOnline @GovUganda @OPMUganda
