The Government has resolved to halt release of finances to any ministry, department or agency that has no strategic plan.

The resolution follows a report on government annual performance for the financial year 2015-2016 that indicated that only 5-16 sectors have their plans aligned to the National Development Plan II, while 66 local governments out of 156 have aligned and on average only 50% of ministries departments and agencies have not aligned their plans with NDP11.

Matia Kasaija the minister of finance.

While speaking at a annual performance conference in Kampala, the minister for finance Matia Kasaijja said that the long awaited middle income status is likely to delay if government sectors continue to work dis-jointly towards the implementation of the National development plan II and the sustainable development goals.

He has emphasized that no funding will be availed for the financial year 2017/2018 to sectors that are unprepared and lack focus.
