Addressing government debt - CSBAG calls for expenditure to fall within National revenue coffers

Civil Society Organizations have shared their perspectives on National budget framework paper, advising government to reduce her expenditure at all cost. Under their umbrella organisation, Civil Society Budgetary Advocacy Group – CSBAG, civil society organisations reason that with the public debt soaring amidst dwindling donor support, government’s expenditure should be cut to fall within the national revenue coffers. This call comes at a time when Uganda’s debt stands at about 96 trillion shillings, against shortfalls in revenue collection.
