Uganda’s parliament is demanding answers from the government regarding the financial implications of the Kampala-Entebbe expressway’s toll collection system. Lawmakers are scrutinizing the expenditure of Shs 122 billion spent to collect Shs 129 billion in toll revenue, questioning the value for money delivered by the country’s first tolled highway. The Physical Infrastructure Committee raised concerns after identifying discrepancies in toll collection figures and overall project viability. This inquiry centers around whether the costs associated with operating the toll system outweigh the revenue generated. The committee is seeking justification for the substantial spending, aiming to determine if the expressway is a financially sound investment for the nation. The situation highlights ongoing debates surrounding infrastructure projects and responsible public finance management in Uganda.
