LOBAMBA – The performance of government, through the various ministries, improved from 22 per cent in the first quarter of the 2025/2026 financial year to 48 per cent. However, the score remains below what would be expected from the performance of the various ministries to meet the ambitious Nkwe Programme of Action targets. This was revealed by the Prime Minister (PM), Russell Mmiso Dlamini, when he presented the first-ever Government Performance Report of 2025 during a press conference held at Cabinet yesterday. The report, which assesses government’s implementation of the Nkwe Programme of Action during the 2025/26 financial year, shows that while performance improved steadily throughout the year, government, through the various ministries, still fell short of delivering more than half of its targeted programmes.

Heads are set to roll at the Ministry of Finance, Bank of Uganda and Police after President Yoweri Museveni cleared Principal Accountant General Lawrence Ssemakula and eight other Finance Ministry officials who had been caught up in the Shs60 billion Bank of Uganda money scandal.

The dramatic intervention has thrown the Shs60 billion scandal wide open, with questions now being raised over how senior government officials were arrested and interdicted before the real masterminds behind the transactions were identified. Museveni has also reinstated Ssemakula as Principal Accountant General and given him a fresh three-year contract with immediate effect. Ssemakula had been among the officials suspended as investigations intensified into the alleged theft involving money held in...

A new report published by the World Bank Group outlines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can support developing countries to accelerate a century’s worth of development in a decade, provided that governments act swiftly to close the gaps in power, connectivity, skills and institutional quality. Titled World Development Report 2026: The Promise of Artificial Intelligence, the report finds that jobs in high-income countries are more than three times as likely to be at risk of automation by generative AI than those in low-and middle-income countries, where 4.5% of existing jobs are at risk, compared with 14.2% in high-income countries. However, 16.2% of jobs in developing economies could see productivity meaningfully boosted by AI, compared to the 18.7% expected in high-income countries. Indermit Gill, Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at the World Bank Group, stressed that developing countries do not need large models or big data centres to reap its benefits....
