Uganda Parliament passes UGX45.5 trillion budget for FY 2020/2021 The 2020/21 is 12.3% bigger than the UGX40.5 trillion 2019/20 budget. Security and Health have received significant boosts, while works and transport; energy and minerals sectors have taken a significant budget cut.

Although the budget was passed in record time, MPs recommended that the government reviews and revises the National Budget for the financial year 2020/2021 after the full effect of the COVID-19 on the economy is ascertained. They also urged government to halt all wasteful expenditures and to prioritise strengthening revenue mobilization, which have stagnated at below 16% of GDP for the past years.
