3 Works and Transport Ministerial Policy Statement MPS: Works and Transport Foreword Telephone: /25528 Fax: In any correspondence on this subject please quote No. MIN/PERS/8 THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA Office of the Minister P. O. Box 7174 Kampala Uganda 28 June 21 The Rt. Hon. Speaker of Parliament Parliament Building P O Box 7178 KAMPALA Mr. Speaker Sir, MINISTERIAL BUDGET POLICY STATEMENT FOR THE FY 21/11 Mr. Speaker Sir, I wish to present to you the Budget Policy Statement of the Ministry of Works and Transport (Vote 16), the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) (Vote 113) and Uganda Road Fund (URF) (Vote118) for the Financial Year 21/11 with a total budget estimate of Ushs 1, billion, in accordance with Section 6, Sub-Section 1 of the Budget Act 21. The Statement sets out the Policy Framework, Strategic Objectives, Achievements for the FY 29/1, Budget Proposals for FY 21/11 and Planned Outputs. Preparation of the Ministerial Budget Policy Statement has followed the format and guidelines issued by the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MoFPED) which centre around on notions of Votes, Vote Functions, Programmes and Projects. In the Financial Year 29/1, the Sector achieved outputs based on the objectives of the Government National Development Plan (NDP). The key programmes implemented, used resources that were appropriated by Parliament to the Sector for the FY 29/1. Out of UShs billion approved for the Recurrent Budget (MoWT UShs billion, UNRA UShs billion and URF UShs billion), a total amount of UShs billion was released (MoWT UShs billion, UNRA UShs billion and URF UShs billion) for the expenditure. With regard to the Domestic Development Budget, a sum of UShs billion was approved (MoWT UShs billion and UNRA UShs billion). Of this, UShs billlion was spent (MoWT UShs billion and UNRA UShs billion). This represents iii

4 an outturn of 94% and 85% Sector Budget performance for Recurrent and Development Budget s respectively. Procurement problems and slow-moving nature of civil works account for the moderately satisfactory performance of the Development projects and programmes. The approved Development Partners Budget for FY 29/1 was UShs billion, out of which MoWT allocation was UShs billion and UNRA allocation was UShs billion. Mr. Speaker Sir, considerable progress has been made in the sector reforms. UNRA was established two years ago and URF became operational on 1 January 21 and is now responsible for financing maintenance (routine and periodic only) of National and District, Urban and Community Access roads. The Mandate of the Ministry now mainly lies with Strategic Planning, Policy formulation, Regulation, Monitoring and Evaluation. Mr. Speaker Sir, the road network has also been restructured with approximately 1,km of District roads being upgraded to the category of National roads. The process of creating a DUCAR Agency for dedicatedly dealing with District, Urban and Community Access roads and an Agency for regulating the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area Transport System are examples of the ongoing Sector reforms. Mr. Speaker Sir, I would like to thank Parliament for its unwavering support to improved funding of the Road Sub-Sector in FY 29/1 and 21/11. My appeal is that this improvement in funding levels should be sustained over the medium and long term so as to overcome the road maintenance backlog, increase the capacity and tarmack most of the national roads, improve the quality of District roads and generally improve the transport infrastructure and services in the country. A sustained funding improvement will ensure viable implementation of the sector s programmes and projects. Mr. Speaker Sir, my Sector s Preliminary Estimates for both Recurrent and Development Budgets totaling to UShs.1, billion which I am tabling to be appropriated by the August House for the FY 21/11 are as presented below:- VOTE 16: MINISTRY OF WORKS AND TRANSPORT i) Recurrent Expenditure (Including Wages) UShs billion ii) Domestic Development Expenditure UShs billion iii) Taxes on Imports UShs billion iv) Loans and Grants UShs billion SUB-TOTAL UShs billion VOTE 113: UGANDA NATIONAL ROADS AUTHORITY i) Recurrent Expenditure (Including Wages) UShs billion ii) Domestic Development Expenditure UShs billion iii) Taxes on Imports UShs. 1. billion iv) Loans and Grants UShs billion SUB-TOTAL UShs billion iv

5 Mr. Speaker Sir, the Uganda Road Fund Act 28, requires that at the end of every financial year I lay before Parliament the Annual Road Maintenance Programme, the Annual Road Expenditure Plan and the Performance Statement as annexed to this Ministerial Budget Policy Statement. VOTE 118: UGANDA ROAD FUND i) Recurrent Expenditure (Including Wages) UShs billion SUB-TOTAL UShs billion SECTOR GRAND TOTAL UShs.1, billion Mr. Speaker Sir, the above Budget for MoWT, UNRA and URF will make an Aggregate Appropriation of UShs.1, billion for the Works and Transport Sector. I wish to thank the House through you Mr. Speaker, and to register my appreciation to our Development Partners, the Sessional Committee of Parliament on Physical Infrastructure, the Standing Committees of Parliament on Economy and Budget for the continued support extended to the sector in FY 29/1. This support has helped the Sector achieve most of its objectives within the Budget ceiling provided and to progressively contribute to the attainment of the Government s Prosperity for All Programme. Mr. Speaker Sir, notwithstanding the recent improved funding (last Financial Year and this Financial Year), the Sector still requires increased funding in the medium term in order to bring the Sector to a viable level. Broadly the improved funding is being used to achieve the following: Eliminate/reduce the national road maintenance backlog Improve the capacity and riding quality of selected national roads Improve the condition of District Urban and Community Access Roads including bridges Support Railway, Air and Water transport infrastructure and service development Develop Civil Aviation Industry to support growth of the aviation sub sector Carry out transport regulatory programmes for motor vehicle/water vessel inspection and licensing to ensure higher efficiency and safety. Establish MATA, MTRA, DUCAR Agency and the National Road Safety Authority Mr. Speaker Sir, I hereby submit my Sector s Budget Policy Statement comprising the Recurrent and Development Budget Estimates for Vote 16-MoWT amounting to UShs billion, Vote 113-UNRA UShs billion and Vote 118-URF UShs billion totaling UShs. 1, billion and request Parliament to appropriate this Sector funding to implement the various proposed Plans, Programmes, Projects and Activities in the FY 21/11.

Cost of construction materials doesnot escalate (iii) Priority Vote Actions to Improve Sector Performance High Unit Costing for National and Local Road Construction: In the past, there had been a problem of fast-rising costs of road construction. This was attributed to a number of factors including the rising costs of inputs and inadequate competition for major projects. The situation will improve with the recently increased interest in the country s road programmes by both international and local contractors which has resulted into greater competition. To enhance capacity of the local construction industry (Contractors and consultants), a National Construction Industry Policy (NCI) which has been approved by Cabinet will be operationalized. Transport Sector Development Project (TSDP): The Transport Sector Development Project (TSDP) is aimed at strengthening policy and planning capacity, equipping and retooling staff, create DUCAR Agency, MTRA and NRS Authorities. These agencies will improve the management of DUCAR, effective regulation of road rail and water transport and enhance/enforce road safety measures that will address and reduce the escalating rate on roads accidents on Section A - Vote Overview 9

17 Works and Transport Ministerial Policy Statement Vote: 16 Vote Summary Uganda s road network respectively. Construction Standards and Quality Assurance: Under Construction Standards and Quality Assurance vote function, plans to establish the National Construction Research Institute to research into new construction materials and techniques will be undertaken. DUCAR: In addition, the force account and road gangs modalities for DUCAR maintenance have been approved by Cabinet and the Ministry is in consultations with MoFPED to get the necessary funding to improve efficiency and effective management of DUCAR and generate local employment. Un restored Railway Network and Rolling Stock. Uganda s rail network has been overshadowed by road based investments in the past. This has resulted into the over reliance on key roads in the northern corridor, increased transport costs and accelerated road deterioration. To address this over dependence on roads, the Ministry will complete the feasibility studies for opening/upgrading Kampala Kasese and Tororo Gulu Pakwach railway lines in FY 21/11 and the Ministry will commence on preliminary engineering design study for a standard gauge railway line between Kampala Malaba. Over the medium term, Kampala Kasese railway line will be re-designed. The rehabilitation of MV Kaawa and Pamba once completed will strengthen the Southern route to the sea thereby diverting traffic from the Northern corridor route. Air Transport development: Supervise works for Kasese Airport development project, staff houses at Kidepo aerodrome, terminal building at Masindi aerodrome and at Arua phase II, Perimeter fencing of Gulu airport and re-surfacing Gulu airstrip. Supervise works for rehabilitation of EACAA Soroti Campus and staff buildings and procure a Stand by generator for the Academy, engineering tools and equipments, Reference books, audio visual equipment and library system. Carry out cadastral evaluations of EACAA land. Traffic Congestion in Kampala city: The rapid population increase and the increasing number of vehicles in Kampala City, has led to high levels of traffic congestion/jams. As a long term solution a Bus Rapid Transit System (BRT) will be introduced in Kampala metropolitan area. A detailed feasibility study including detailed design for introduction of BRT will be undertaken in FY 21/11. As an emergency measure, the Ministry is to implement short term low cost but high impact remedial measures to improve traffic flow in the city. Transport Regulation: Formulation of policies and strategies that fall within Transport Regulations will be key to improvement of performance. The National Axle Load Control Policy and the Road Safety policy will be formulated in the medium term.
