Currently, money dominates Uganda’s politics and as a result the gap between elected politicians and their voters has widened substantially. This has created an environment where the principles of political accountability are grossly undermined. In November 2014 the Governor Bank of Uganda Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile was reported confessing that he had been misled by the government into indirectly financing election activities in 2011, an action which plunged the country’s economy into chaos. He promised not to repeat the same mistake in 2016. ACFIM observed that during the campaign period of 2015/2016 Government spending was kept within sector ceilings, so there was no extreme surges and no visible shocks in the economy. This, however, is not the whole story.
