At the 2026 Uganda Schools Debate and Speech Championship, the students debated a hard question: prioritizing debt repayment or youth development - a motion that put the national budget under scrutiny. 💵Parliament approved Shs84.39 trillion for FY2026/2027. #Debtservicing takes Shs33.4 trillion, close to 40% of spending. Interest alone reaches Shs12.4 trillion. Public debt sits at Shs130.22 trillion. 🧑‍🍼Youth investment: Shs2.5 trillion for the Parish Development Model, Emyooga, and #youth livelihood programmes. Youth #unemployment sits at 17.9%, higher for young women. 🏚️The government says #debt payments protect investor confidence. Critics say they crowd out education and jobs. Where do you stand?
