The National Resistance Movement (NRM) Parliamentary Caucus has
today resolved to support the government's budget priorities for the
Financial Year 2026/2027 and to back the passage of the Proposed
Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2025, following guidance from H.E. Yoweri
Kaguta Museveni at a meeting held at State House Entebbe.

The Caucus endorsed key priority areas in the FY 2026/2027 budget,
including continued investment in peace and security, roads, electricity
infrastructure, railway development, preparations for AFCON 2027, and
promotion of scientific innovations to accelerate socio-economic
transformation.

Members also supported restocking programmes in Teso, Lango and
Acholi sub-regions, as well as salary enhancement for Primary School
Teachers, Secondary School Arts Teachers, TVET instructors, and
security personnel.

The Caucus further resolved to support the passing into law of the
proposed Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2025 once it is introduced in
Parliament, noting its importance in safeguarding Uganda’s national
interests and institutional independence.

The meeting reaffirmed the Caucus’ commitment to advancing
government priorities aimed at strengthening service delivery, protecting
national sovereignty, and sustaining Uganda’s development trajectory.
