The Government of Uganda has unveiled an ambitious legislative agenda for the 2026/27 financial year, proposing 38 Bills, policy frameworks, reports, and statutory instruments for consideration by the 12th Parliament.
This is six more than the number presented in the previous financial year. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni announced the programme while delivering the State of the Nation Address at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds.( all the 38 bills are attached in annex 2 of his speech as attached to this Story 👇)
According to the President, the proposed laws are intended to strengthen governance, improve service delivery, and provide the legal framework needed to support Uganda's socio-economic transformation. The legislative package combines both new Bills and measures carried forward from the outgoing financial year.
The proposed legislation spans several sectors, including:
•Education
•Agriculture
•Health
•Transport
•Finance and taxation
•Internal security
•Governance and public administration
•Infrastructure development
•Trade and investment
Among the expected measures are amendments to existing laws, new regulatory frameworks, and policy instruments aimed at aligning government operations with the priorities outlined in the 2026/27 national budget and development agenda.
The legislative programme comes as Parliament begins work under a new term following the 2026 General Elections. The Bills will be tabled by the respective ministers throughout the financial year for debate, scrutiny, and possible enactment into law.
Government officials say the measures are expected to support economic growth, improve public service delivery, strengthen institutions, and prepare the country for major undertakings such as oil production and infrastructure expansion.
Key takeaway: The 2026/27 legislative agenda signals a busy year for Parliament, with 38 proposed measures aimed at shaping Uganda's governance, economy, and public services in the coming years.
