The Newly elected Members of Uganda’s 12th Parliament are expected to receive government funds to purchase their official vehicles by July 10, 2026, Finance Minister Henry Musasizi has announced.
The minister made the announcement while addressing lawmakers during the induction seminar held on Tuesday, July 1, at Speke Resort Munyonyo, assuring legislators that vehicle facilitation has been prioritized in the first-quarter releases for the 2026/27 financial year.
Musasizi said he had already directed officials at the Ministry of Finance to ensure the funds are included in the first batch of quarterly disbursements, enabling MPs to begin serving their constituencies without unnecessary delays.
“The money for the vehicles to facilitate MPs to move back to their constituencies will be released in the first batch of this quarter, which is in July. I have already instructed my team to ensure that this is provided for. By the end of July, we shall all be happy because I am also one of you,” Musasizi told legislators.
Responding to concerns over delayed government releases, the Finance Minister explained that public funds are disbursed on a quarterly basis, with the first quarter running from July to September. He said the first batch of releases is expected by July 10, clearing the way for MPs to access their vehicle funds.
Musasizi also reminded lawmakers that he previously opposed proposals to impose a 40% income tax on MPs’ allowances, saying his intervention ensured the allowances remained tax-exempt.
The announcement is expected to reassure many first-time legislators who have been eagerly waiting for the facilitation to purchase vehicles and begin carrying out their parliamentary duties across their constituencies.
