Uganda Finance Minister Matia Kasaija has said officials could be
sacked if they're found to have taken unnecessary trips on government
money. The announcement was part of cost-cutting measures
to
help fund other parts of government spending.In parliament today, Mr
Kasaija outlined the country's largest ever government budget amounting
to around $8bn (£5.5bn) of spending in the next
financial
year.He wants to boost spending on infrastructure development, and
invest in agriculture, tourism and trade, as well as technology.But he
said that there will be no new taxes which begs the question about how
the country is going to afford it.
