Opposition: Uganda's Economic Growth an "Illusion"

Uganda's political opposition has issued a direct challenge to the government's economic plans. It has released its own alternative budget proposal for 2026/2027. The opposition warns that the country's reported economic growth is an "illusion." It argues this growth hides serious financial problems. According to the opposition, these problems are reducing the government's ability to fund critical public services. The alternative budget is presented as a starkly different vision for national spending.
