The National Resistance Movement (NRM) Parliamentary Caucus has resolved to support the government’s budget priorities for the 2026/2027 financial year and to back the passage of the proposed Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2025.
The resolutions were reached on Friday during a meeting at State House Entebbe, chaired by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
The caucus endorsed key priority areas in the upcoming budget, including sustained investment in peace and security, road infrastructure, electricity expansion, railway development, and preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Members also emphasized the promotion of scientific innovation as a driver of Uganda’s socio-economic transformation.
In addition, legislators backed restocking programmes targeting the sub-regions of Teso, Lango, and Acholi, alongside salary enhancements for primary school teachers, secondary school arts teachers, TVET instructors, and security personnel.
The caucus further committed to supporting the Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2025 once it is tabled in Parliament, citing its significance in safeguarding Uganda’s national interests and institutional independence.
The meeting reaffirmed the caucus’ commitment to advancing government priorities aimed at improving service delivery, protecting national sovereignty, and sustaining the country’s development agenda.
