Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Education and Health sector under the Human Capital Development ( HCD)programmetook the lion\u2019s share of Amos Lugoloobi\u2019s Shs44.8 trillion budget.<\/p>\n

Mr Lugoloobi yesterday read the 2021\/2022 Financial Year budget on behalf of President Museveni.HCD was allocated Shs7.5 trillion (17 per cent) followed by governance and security with Shs6.9 trillion (15.6 per cent) and<\/p>\n

Integrated Transport infrastructure and services in the third position with Shs5 trillion (11.2 per cent).<\/p>\n

Others<\/b><\/p>\n

Of the total national budget envelope, Shs28.8 trillion is to be shared by 20 government programmes while Shs15.9 trillion will cater for debt refinancing and interest payment.<\/p>\n

Mr Lugoloobi explained that more money was allocated to HCD because government plans to recruit 5,695 primary and secondary teachers and undisclosed number of school inspectors across the country.<\/p>\n

The move is intended to improve service delivery in the education sector.<\/p>\n

Mr Lugoloobi, who is expected to take up the planning docket, said in the Financial Year 2021\/2022, government will rehabilitate 74 primary and 13 traditional secondary schools and construct 36 partially completed schools and 7 skills development institutions, among others.<\/p>\n

Government has also earmarked Shs560b for procurement of Covid-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n

\u201cA healthy population and skilled workforce is a fundamental requirement for socio-economic transformation. Key interventions in education, health, water, and sanitation are necessary to ensure effective human capital development,\u201d Mr Lugoloobi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe immediate health need we are faced with is ensuring containment of the Covid-19 pandemic. Widespread vaccination and the enforcement of Standard Operating Procedures are the only preventative measures that guarantee protection against Covid-19,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Under Governance and Security docket, Mr Lugoloobi announced that the government will construct 30,000 housing units for the military, acquire, refurbish and maintain military equipment and complete the construction of the Military Referral Hospital in Mbuya among others.<\/p>\n
