Parliament has been asked to control government‘s appetite to borrow which has led to overwhelming swelling of Uganda’s debt stock.
Current statics from bank of Uganda indicates that by the end of December 2017, Uganda’s debt stock stood at Shs37.9 trillion, representing an increase of 9.4 per cent relative to June 2017.
Speaking during plenary session yesterday, the Budadiri west Member of Parliament Nathan NandalaMafaabi said that the rate at which government is borrowing is unsustainable.
He said that parliament must come up with stringent parameters to consider while approving some of these none productive loans.
