The Opposition Members of Parliament have warned that Uganda’s rising debt burden, shifting fiscal targets and controversial tax proposals risk undermining livelihoods, weakening institutions and choking service delivery.
While presenting the proposals in the alternative budget yesterday, the Leader of the Opposition, Hon Joel Ssenyonyi said the country’s current fiscal path is unsustainable with the bulk of government spending already locked into debt obligations and fixed costs.

The Opposition estimates that about Ugx 34.2 trillion which is roughly 44% of the national budget is available for discretionary spending.
Hon Ssenyonyi noted that this is a squeeze it says is already being felt through underfunded public services, stalled projects and widening inequality.
He made it categorically clear that the alternative budget is not just a critique, but a proposal for a better way forward for Uganda and it puts people first, restores confidence in leadership and ensures that public resources truly serve public good.
