Jonathan also hinted on 

Inadequate allocation to settle domestic arrears.
Whereas we appreciate the government's commitment to addressing domestic arrears, as demonstrated by the UGX 199.9 billion released in the first two-quarters of FY2024/25, this is insufficient. 

According to the OAG report, domestic arrears have increased by 34.4% from UGX 8.049 trillion in 2022 to UGX 10.818 trillion in 2023. At this rate, it will take approximately 54 years to clear the arrears if no new ones are incurred. 

This deprives the private sector of liquidity, hampers job growth, and reduces tax revenue. Alternative recovery processes like litigation are costly.
