Kampala, Uganda: MPs on Parliament’s Budget Committee are questioning a request from State House for 83.033 billion shillings for presidential donations and an additional 10 billion shillings for buying new fleet of vehicles for the President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The request was made by Alex Byarugaba, Chairperson of the Presidential Affairs Committee, who emphasized that fulfilling presidential pledges is crucial for maintaining the President’s image as a Fountain of Honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Byarugaba also highlighted the need for reliable transportation to facilitate the President’s movement during the electoral period, as well as to watch the Parish Development Model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, MPs on the Budget Committee are seeking clarification on the allocation of these funds, particularly given the significant amounts involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This development comes as the Electoral Commission (EC) has requested over 600 billion shillings to manage the 2026 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee has already approved a budget of 756.988 billion shillings for the EC to commence preparations for the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the country prepares for the upcoming elections, the allocation of funds and resources is to stay a key area of focus and debate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
