Shs6bn for Swearing In President in 2026
The Office of the President has earmarked Shs6 billion in the 2025/26 financial year for the swearing-in ceremony of the President-elect for the 2026-2031 term.
Incumbent President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has expressed his intention to contest again, alongside a number of opposition candidates, including Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu from the National Unity Platform (NUP), Jimmy Akena of the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC), Mandala Mafabi from the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), and Norbert Mao from the Democratic Party.
While appearing before the Presidential Election Affairs Committee, Hajj Yunus Kakande, the Permanent Secretary in the Office of the President, defended the state house budget.
Kakande said part of the Shs6 billion will go towards catering for the over 10 presidents who will attend the swearing-in ceremony, ensuring their security, accommodation, and overall comfort.
Additional allocations will cater to advertisements, refreshments, and decoration at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds, the traditional venue for such events.
In 2021, the government spent Shs7 billion on presidential swearing in events.
