Expenditure is how government spends money. The government of Uganda spends money in the following ways:-
Salaries and allowances
Government pays civil servants and political leaders in the country monthly. Once they retire, some are given pension.
Development programmes
Government puts in place development programmes like Universal Primary and Secondary Education.
Government also sets up projects like the Bujjagali Falls Dam, tarmacking of roads and establishing recreation grounds such as a stadium.
Rent
Government hires space for the government offices for the various departments. Landlords for the office blocks demand for payments from government being the tenant.
Security
Government spends money to defend the people and their property. Equipment is bought for the Uganda Defence Forces to fight any foreign or internal enemies. Other security organisations in the country need money to carry out their activities well.
Government spends money to provide people with education, health, communication, water and electricity services.
A lot of money is spent building, maintaining and rehabilitating of the social services in the country. Universal Primary and Secondary Educational Programmes plus immunization programmes are essential and all need much money.
