Government to Brief Parliament on Treaties, Roads and Electricity Access Progress

KAMPALA, July 16, 2026 - The government is set to present three key statements to Parliament next week covering Uganda’s international treaty commitments, the state of the country’s road network, and progress in expanding electricity access through the Electricity Access Scale-up Project (EASP).

The updates will be presented during parliamentary sittings scheduled for July 21 to 23, 2026, following a communication from Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja in her capacity as Leader of Government Business.

In a letter dated July 16, Nabbanja outlined the government’s planned business for the upcoming parliamentary week, in line with parliamentary procedures requiring updates on government agenda and activities.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs is expected to table a report detailing treaties, protocols, and international agreements ratified or acceded to by Uganda between 2021 and 2025.

The Minister of Works and Transport will also present a comprehensive statement on the condition of roads across the country, providing lawmakers with an update on ongoing infrastructure development and challenges affecting the transport sector.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Development will brief Parliament on the implementation progress of the Electricity Access Scale-up Project, which aims to increase electricity connectivity and improve access to power across Uganda.

The ministerial statements are expected to give Members of Parliament an opportunity to assess government performance in key sectors, including infrastructure development, energy access, and international cooperation.

Following the presentations, lawmakers will scrutinise the reports, debate the issues raised, and make recommendations on areas requiring further government action.
