Analysis of Uganda's sports budget and development
The unveiling of the national budget for the fiscal year 2023/2024 brought both relief and new developments for the sports sector in Uganda. The budget for sports received a 2.5% increment, reaching slightly over 48.9 billion shillings for the upcoming financial year. Despite initial concerns of budget suppression back to UGX 17 billion, Parliament demonstrated its unwavering commitment to sports by maintaining the sports budget and even allocating additional funds. As we kick start the financial year this week, how do our esteemed guests, Hassan Kirumira - MP, Katikamu South, Ivan Ojakol - Sports lawyer, Lecturer and Partner at Matrix Advocates, and Moses Muhangi - President of the Uganda Boxing Federation, view the outlook for sports in light of this budget allocation?
