Ugandan parliamentary legislative priorities

Overview

Ugandan Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa has advocated for several strategic shifts within the Parliament to improve governance and national resilience.

In early October, Tayebwa urged Members of Parliament to prioritize practical legislative and budgetary actions regarding climate change. He criticized the inaccuracy of current meteorological services and proposed increasing funding for weather forecasting to approximately Shs50 billion to improve disaster preparedness and economic planning.

By late October, the focus shifted toward enhancing legislative oversight through direct community engagement. Tayebwa called on committee chairpersons to conduct regular field visits to assess the implementation of government programs firsthand. He also encouraged legislators to translate ‘Musevenomics’ into practical laws and budget priorities to drive economic transformation.
