Dear Tingasiga: The ease with which the Uganda Government spends money on self-congratulatory celebrations, gifts to religious groups, and all manner of luxury spending is mind-boggling.

A nation’s budget is a moral document stating what—and whom—a society values most. Uganda’s current spending priorities reveal a deeply disturbing paradox.
