#Uganda Parliament 2026

Speaker Jacob Marksons Oboth has suspended enforcement of Uganda’s charcoal trade ban until the government explains its implementation and progress in promoting affordable alternative cooking fuels, amid concerns that millions of households still depend on charcoal and firewood.

President Yoweri Museveni has honored the late Gen. (Rtd) Moses Ali as a patriot and peacemaker, praising his role in ending military conflict and advancing infrastructure development in the West Nile sub-region.

President Yoweri Museveni has used the State of the Nation Address 2026 to order all non-performing public officials out of leadership. Speaking at Kololo, the President stated that the current political term enforces a zero-tolerance policy for corruption and complacency to transition Uganda into a fully monetized economy.

President Yoweri Museveni will deliver his first State of the Nation Address of the new term at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds today at 2:00 p.m. Attendance remains strictly restricted to lawmakers and key staff due to preventive Ebola health protocols, with the address broadcasting live across television, radio, and digital media.
