Henry Musasizi delivered his first budget speech as Minister of Finance, Planning, and Economic Development on Thursday. The 84.4 trillion shilling 2026/2027 budget is aimed at implementing the government’s Tenfold Growth Strategy, aimed at growing to 500 billion dollars by 2040 from 53 billion in 2025. The economy is estimated to have grown by 6.4 percent to 69.3 billion dollars or about 250.4 trillion shillings, in nominal terms. The minister looks forward to the “imminent confirmation” in March 2027 of Uganda’s graduation from the category of Least Developed Countries (LDC. He targets lowering sovereign risk, unlocking premium international investment capital, and positioning the country as a highly competitive, self-determined economic engine on the continent. Also, the country is expected to start producing and selling oil starting early in the first quarter of the year, with 1.44 trillion shillings expected from oil revenues. This would end the 17-year wait since the...

Romuald Wadagni n’était pas destiné à incarner le pouvoir au sens classique du terme. À 49 ans, cet ancien expert-comptable, longtemps plus familier des équilibres budgétaires que des bains de foule, est pourtant devenu président du Bénin le 24 mai 2026. Une ascension qui intrigue autant qu’elle interroge, car il n’a pas conquis le pouvoir dans la confrontation, mais l’a reçu dans la continuité, désigné et préparé par Patrice Talon. Et dans cette transmission maîtrisée se niche déjà une question centrale : peut-on pleinement s’imposer quand on n’a pas eu à arracher sa place ? Son parcours, lui, est difficilement contestable. Formé entre Grenoble et Harvard, passé par Deloitte pendant près de deux décennies, Wadagni appartient à cette élite africaine mondialisée, à l’aise aussi bien dans les cercles internationaux que dans les arcanes de la gestion publique. Il maîtrise les chiffres, les mécanismes économiques, les logiques de performance. Mais la...

Sierra Leone Telegraph: 05 June 2026: As drugs addiction among young people in Sierra Leone continues to destroy lives and impact the economy and the wider society, Mayor of Freetown Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr met some of these youth to talk about their lives. “A sad reality is that hundreds of kush addicts now live under every major bridge in Freetown and in the back streets of many communities. Last Saturday morning I engaged a group of kush addicts under Congo Cross Bridge. It was heartbreaking to see their glazed eyes, malnourished bodies and the telltale sores on their feet,” says the Mayor after her engagement. “They acknowledged that they collect waste to pay for kush and then illegally dump the garbage over the Congo Cross bridge or along the roadside. They also expressed their willingness to go to rehab if they had the opportunity. I am committed to investigating pathways for...

The Bankers Association of Namibia (BAN) noted that the public discussions on home ownership and housing, raises important questions around affordability, access and the structure of home loans in Namibia, and they welcome this. Chief Executive of BAN, Dantagos Jimmy said this is an important national conversation. “By improving financial literacy and strengthening collaboration between government, regulators and the private sector, we can expand access to housing and enable more Namibians to achieve home ownership.” She explained that mortgage terms are structured to balance affordability with access. While a home loan can be repaid over a short period, this would require significantly higher monthly repayments, placing home ownership out of reach for most households. “Shorter repayment periods reduce the total interest paid over the life of a loan but result in substantially higher monthly installments. Longer terms increase total interest cost, but enable more Namibians to enter the property market....

MONROVIA, June 11, 2026 — Grand Gedeh County Senator Thomas Yaya Nimely said Tuesday that the opposition would seek to unseat President Joseph N. Boakai in the 2029 elections over the government’s support for the implementation of an agreement involving Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated (LMTI) that he described as unconsummated and against the public interest. Nimely, who chairs the Senate Committee on Labor, made the remarks in an interview with journalists after walking out of a hearing on LMTI at the Liberian Senate on Capitol Hill. He said the Executive Branch and officials associated with the agreement were acting contrary to the interests of Liberians. According to Nimely, the Senate has for the past six months advised the Inter-Ministerial Concession Committee and officials in the Executive Branch that the contract should be reviewed because senators determined it was not in the interest of the government and the public. He questioned...

  Leemisa Thuseho  THE Lesotho Football Association (LeFA) says it has been left frustrated by reports that Kick4Life Juventude is considering declining promotion to the Premier League.  The Old Europa-based outfit secured promotion to the topflight after winning the 2025/26 A Division League South Stream title.  While many football followers had already congratulated the club on its achievement, the situation has taken an unexpected turn after Kick4Life informed LeFA that it wished to discuss its future following the promotion.  Should the club ultimately decide not to take up its place in the Premier League, it would not be the first time it has withdrawn from the country’s top-flight competition.  After earning its maiden Premier League promotion in 2014, Kick4Life competed in the top division until 2022, when it withdrew its senior men’s team to focus on its development programmes, including boys’ and girls’ youth teams as well as its senior women’s side.  At the time, the organisation cited...
