CSO condemns budget misappropriation | Monitor

In a scathing critique, the Civil Society Budget Advocacy Group (CSBAG) has accused Parliament of disregarding the needs of Ugandans during the appropriation of the 2024-25 budget.

This comes after President Yoweri Museveni returned the Appropriation Bill, expressing concerns over the reallocation of Shs750 billion away from government priorities.

Mr Julius Mukunda, the Executive Director of CSBAG, lamented that Parliament’s decision to reallocate funds for personal or political gain is “fundamentally wrong” and amounts to “budgeting for corruption and self-preservation.”
