Why do local governments return money to the Treasury?

It is common to hear local governments in Uganda complain of limited or delayed remission of funds by the central government. However, the 2014/15 Auditor General’s report shows that more than 10 districts returned money to the Consolidated Fund.

In a special feature, ROSELYNN KARATSI finds out why this is the case.

The special feature was published with funding from ACME’s Enhanced Media Reporting for Transparency and Accountability (EMERTA) programme.
