Warm greetings to all Ugandans on this purportedly historic day of liberation.

It provides a mechanism through which oversight and accountability are effects by the institution of parliament.

In his 2020 independence speech, President Museveni boasted of “unprecedented growth of the manufacturing sector”. He reported that at least 168 manufacturing industries and factories had been established in the financial year that ended June 2020.
