- Ahead of the budget reading, the East African Business Council has called on member states to harmonise fiscal policies for the FY2026/27 national budgets across East African Community partner states.
In its policy statement, the EABC highlights persistent disparities in domestic taxes, excise duty levies, and other charges that continue to hinder the free movement of goods and services within the region.
According to the proposal, the EAC economy is projected to grow by 5.6% in 2026, maintaining its position as one of Africa’s fastest-growing regional blocs despite global economic uncertainties. However, intra-EAC trade remains below its full potential, accounting for only 12.3% of total trade in the fourth quarter of 2025.

- Experts in Uganda’s rice value chain are calling on the government to increase funding for research into upland rice varieties as enforcement of the presidential directive to evict farmers from wetlands gathers pace.
Analysts warn that without significant investment in upland rice production, the transition could threaten food security and deepen the country’s reliance on imports. Uganda currently spends more than USD 230 million annually on rice imports, mainly from Tanzania — a trend experts describe as unsustainable.

- Description
- Uganda has been urged to strengthen its metrology systems and make accurate measurement a key pillar in policymaking, trade, industrialisation, and consumer protection. The call was made during this year’s World Metrology Day commemoration held at Hotel Africana, where stakeholders emphasized the need for stronger regulation, increased investment, and greater public awareness of measurement standards. Experts warned that metrology plays a critical role across key sectors, including agriculture, health, energy, construction, oil and gas, telecommunications, and transport, noting that inaccurate or uncalibrated instruments can lead to economic losses, poor-quality products, and unfair trade practices. Ronah Nahabwe reports.

- Expect to pay more per litre of fuel in the coming days. This announcement was made by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development during a media briefing at the Media Centre in Kampala. Irene Bateebe, the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Energy, cited increased global pump prices due to the ongoing war between Iran and the USA, plus Israel, which led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, where 20 percent of fuel sold across the world passes through. Bateebe explained that the reason Uganda has been having the cheapest fuel prices in the region is that the stock the country has been using was ordered before the Iran-Israel war started in February 2026. Sudhir Byaruhanga reports.

- Members of the National Women’s Council have warned women against agitating for leadership to be occupied by women just because of their gender. This follows yesterday’s press conference by Women Movement Activists who condemned the ongoing talk that the ruling National Resistance Movement has endorsed Budama West MP Oboth-Oboth and Ruhinda North County MP Thomas Tayebwa as Speaker and Deputy Speaker, respectively.
The Women’s Council says the focus should be put on elected leaders with competence to push the women’s agenda, noting that there are many male leaders who have advanced women’s affairs more than women have.
They have also called for speedy investigations into the graft allegations surrounding Parliament and against the outgoing Speaker Anita Among.
