Foreword
1. Right Honourable Speaker and Honourable Members of Parliament, in accordance with the Budget Act
2001 Section 6(1), I have the pleasure to present the Policy Statement for the Ministry of Defence for the
Financial Year 2014/15.
2. Right Honourable Speaker and Honourable Members, the Ministry of Defence through the Uganda
People`s Defence Forces (UPDF) has the mandate to ‘Preserve and Defend the Sovereignty and Territorial
integrity of Uganda’. It is in line with this mandate that the UPDF is set to ensure that the people of Uganda
live in Peace without their security, values and interests being undermined by any hostile forces from either
within or outside the country.
3. In the Financial Year 2013/14, the Security situation in the entire country has remained stable and
peaceful.
4.
4.1 To the North of the country, the sister republic of South Sudan precipitated into instability.
4.2 On invitation by the constitutional authority of the Republic of South Sudan a contingent of the UPDF
was deployed to avert genocide and assist to stabilize the situation. A status of forces agreement and a
mission specific agreement in this respect have been concluded.
4.3 On the western front in the DRC, two key developments took place:
(i)The Congolese National Army, the FARDC with the assistance of the UN force, MONUSCO routed the
ADF from their camps in the DRC. The ADF command structure and supply lines, however, remain intact
and therefore still capable of causing terrorist damage.
(ii)The M23 rebels were militarily defeated and they reached a political agreement with the DRC
leadership. Consequently one of the negative Forces that has been causing instability in East DRC was put
out of rebellion.
4.4 The overall security situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) worsened although our effort
against the LRA continued to make progress. The UN has requested Uganda to join the United Nations
Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission for CAR, the MINUSCA. In the event that agreement is
reached to answer this call, we shall ensure that our mission against LRA is harmonized with the new
responsibility.
4.5 The mission in Somalia continues to make progress. Nevertheless the terrorists of Al-shabab continue to
make asymmetrical attacks on the AMISOM troops. In May three of our troops were killed as they
defended the Somali Parliament which was the target of these terrorists. In addition, the Al-shabab have
continued to make threats against our country and in the course of the year they have made several and
tragic attacks against the Republic of Kenya. The security forces in the country are on full alert in
Preliminary
,
protection of the country and the population.

4.6 On a happy note I am glad to report that within the Eastern Africa region, the Eastern Africa Standby
Force (EASF)- part of the African Standby Force (ASF) reached maturity and will be operational by 2015.
And within the East African Community Uganda ratified the Peace and Security protocol. In addition
Kenya, Ruanda and Uganda are close to agreement on cooperation in matters of defence. A draft Defence
Pact has been developed for consideration and ratification by the three partner states.
5. In the Financial Year 2014/15, the UPDF will continue to carry out its constitutional mandate based on a
pro-people ideology and guided by the Laws of Uganda. Accordingly Honourable Members of Parliament, I
beg to move that the estimates of the Ministry of Defence Vote 004 for Fiscal Year 2014/2015 totaling
Shillings 1,106,901,308,508 (One Trillion, One Hundred and Six Billion, Nine hundred and One Million,
Three Hundred and Eight thousand, Five Hundred and Eight Shillings) be considered and approved.

Structure of the Ministerial Policy Statement
The Ministerial Policy Statement is structured by Vote, as follows:
This section sets out past performance and future plans for Central and Local Government Votes in
more detail. It is structured as follows for each Vote: A Vote Overview sets out key details of the
vote, including past performance, future plans and key performance issues to be addressed including
costing implications.

Vote Functions
“Each Minister shall cause to be prepared and submitted to Parliament a Policy Statement of the relevant
Ministry on the preliminary [budget] estimates .... by the 30th day of June in each year”. Budget Act 2001,
Section 6 (1)
Structure
Since the FY2011/12 budget cycle, the preparation of sector BFPs, Ministerial Policy Statements and
Budget Estimates centre around the notion of Vote Functions. A Vote Function is a set of programmes,
projects, and Local Government Grants, defining the roles and responsibilities of a vote/institution, and
contributing towards the attainment of vote and overall sector objectives.
As such, a Vote Function provides detailed information on centralised services, by capturing allocations to
Central Ministries and Stand Alone Votes, and decentralised services funded via grants to Local
Governments
Provides details of approved staff structure for each programme and project (including names of staff
and vacant posts). This is clearly demonstrated in the form of an organogram.

DefenceMPS:
Ministerial Policy StatementDefence
5.2 In order to be able to counter the envisaged military threats, UPDF must be agile, flexible and with
appropriate force options.The Defence Forces must, therefore, sustain the requisite fire power, mobility,
troop protection, deployability and sustainability for both strategic and operational purposes.
5.3 In general terms, Uganda will seek non-military solutions aimed at preventing any security threat
requiring the use of the military, while remaining ready to use military force if needed.
5.4 As a people’s defence force mandated to defend and protect Uganda, the people and the Constitution
UPDF’s military behavior and character is premised on the people’s will. The civil military relationship

6.24 The Government of Uganda believes that the ultimate solution to the problems in South Sudan is
political and the President of Uganda, H.E Yoweri Museveni has been at the forefront in articulating this

6.25 Uganda would be ready to participate in the IGAD intervention force, however if our partners in
IGAD raise the required force, the UPDF will withdraw back home.
6.26
(i) The Congolese National Army, the FARDC with the assistance of the UN force MONUSCO, routed the
ADF from their camps in the DRC. The ADF command structure and supply lines, however, remain intact
and therefore still capable of causing terrorist damage.
(ii) The M23 rebels were militarily defeated and they reached a political agreement with the DRC
leadership. This deal was reached under the facilitation and mediation of the President of Uganda, H.E
Yoweri K Museveni, as Chair of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region. Accordingly one
of the forces that has been causing instability in DRC has been put out of rebellion.
6.27 The overall security situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) worsened. The violence has
taken on sectarian religious lines.
6.28 Our efforts against the LRA continue to make progress. Between January 2013 and mid
June 2014, 23 LRA insurgents including 02 Commanders were put out of action, 03 insurgents were
captured while 24 surrendered and a total of 34 abductees, including 20 children were rescued.
6.29 The mission remains a big budgetary strain. The assistance of the USA Government has been very
helpful in this respect. These Partners have provided us technical intelligence and some logistical support
mainly in the form of airlift and fuel for our ground transportation.
6.30 The African Union Regional Task Force (AU-RTF) arrangement has remained cover which does not
logistically or financially contribute to the running of the mission.
6.31 The overall security situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) worsened. The UN has
requested Uganda to join the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission for CAR,
the MINUSCA. In the event that agreement is reached to answer this call, we shall ensure that our mission
against LRA is harmonized with the new responsibility. Joining MINUSCA would enable the Ugandan
contingent to receive logistical and other support from the UN.
6.32 The mission in Somalia continues to make progress. Nevertheless, the terrorists of Al-shabab
continue to make asymmetrical attacks on the AMISOM troops. In May, three of our troops were killed as
they defended the Somali Parliament which was the target of these terrorists. In addition, the Al-shabab has
continued to make threats against our country and in the course of the year they have made many and tragic
attacks against our neighbor to the east, the sister Republic of Kenya.
6.33 The security forces in Uganda are on full alert in protection of the country and coordinating
intelligence closely with the other partner states of the EAC in regard to counter terrorism.
6.34 Uganda continues to urge for the building of the Somali Security apparatus as this is the only way
gains achieved for the Somali people and nation can be sustained. Accordingly we continue to contribute to
the training of the Somali forces both locally in our Institutions and in Somalia.

transport, house rent and transport hire. The verified accumulated domestic arrears amount to shs
36,136,748,622 as at end of June 2013.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
In order to achieve the objectives of the Defence policy, the Ministry of Defence is organized and governed with requisite Political/ Civilian/Military interfaces needed for Policy Formulation, Planning of resources and Command of Operations. The Ministry is structured and organized at three different levels:
The Strategic Headquarters which comprises the Minister and Minister of State for Defence, the Permanent Secretary, the Chief of Defence Forces, the Joint Chief of Staff, Under Secretaries and Chiefs of different sectors of the Army.
The office of the Minister is responsible for Policy and overall political oversight of the Ministry. The other officials mentioned above ensure that there is co-ordination and coherent approach to policy and strategy formulation, Command and Control. They also carry out management and accountability for resources.
The second level is the bi- Service Headquarters, i.e. the Land and Air Forces Headquarters in Bombo and Entebbe respectively. This level translates policy into operational guidance.
The third level is the operational level comprising various Divisions and Specialised Units which undertake operational activities.
The above organization clearly demarcates roles and functions between the officers directly responsible for policy formulation while at the same time enabling intersection of the three levels to allow for:
o Overall political leadership and direction. o Direct command, control and communication. o Co-ordination, monitoring and evaluation. o Efficiency and effectiveness across the entire Ministry

V2: Vote Performance for FY 2013/14 and Planned Outputs for FY 2014/15
(i) Past Vote Outputs
This section describes past vote performance and planned Outputs, in terms of key vote outputs
SECURITY SITUATION
During FY 2013/14, Ministry of Defence generally performed well. The country is calm despite the
heightened threat of Terrorists attacks by the Al-Shabaab and isolated acts of crime including; murder,
armed robberies and Kidnaps, particularly in the central region. The UPDF disarmament exercise in
Karamoja has registered tremendous success that has led to stability and development in the region.
Following these developments, UPDF is reviewing its operations in Karamoja, with a view to finally handle
over to Police. The conflict in South Sudan and the perennial instability in Eastern DRC continue to have a
greater impact on our National security as a result of a large influx of refugees and the attendant security
threats. The instabilities in DRC and CAR continue to prolong the existence of armed groups like ADF and
LRA which pose a security threat to Uganda and the Region.
VOTE FUNCTIONS
A. NATIONAL DEFENCE
In terms of Vote function outputs, there are number of activities and outputs that the ministry has performed
on. The outputs are in the categories of Welfare, Logistical support, Force generation, Capability
consolidation and Infrastructure development. Below are some of the highlights;
1. Welfare
In UPDF, personnel are the single most important element for the Defence Force. The leadership ensures
that the Force is appropriately trained, well motivated and committed to the Defence of their country.
Welfare of the troops and that of their families is given priority to keep their morale high. During FY
2013/14, the ministry performed satisfactorily in welfare areas and some of these are;
a) Provided Health Services to the UPDF personnel, their families and neighboring communities through;
• Hospitals and Health centers in all UPDF installations were supplied by National Medical Stores
with essential drugs, consumables and sundries regularly.
• Hospital accommodation items like beds, bed sheets, all other beddings, staff uniforms and medical
record cards were provided. Monthly deliveries of procured quantities were made during the Year.

• Treatment abroad: A number of patients received medical treatment abroad.
Challenges;
Provision of medical services in MoD is affected by the following challenges;
• Regular maintenance and replacement of medical equipment. Inadequate funding affects timely repair
and maintenance of vital medical equipment.
• Hospitals bills for collaborating hospitals most especially Nakasero and Mulago Referral hospitals take
long to be settled due to underfunding. There is need to increase funding of this vote item to enable timely
payment of suppliers and outstanding debts.
• Provision of alternative health care abroad is overwhelmed by large number of patients.
The Ministry has embarked on construction of a Military Referral Hospital which will go a long way in
addressing some of the problems mentioned above.
b)Paid Salaries and other emoluments
Salaries for the troops and civilians were all paid by 28th of every month. This greatly motivated the troops
especially that this salary can be used by their families.
At the beginning of the FY 2013/14, MoFPED introduced new measures of mainstreaming the payroll
through IPPS at the Treasury. This has positively affected payment of salaries. During this FY,
decentralization of payment of salaries to the ministry was done.
2.
a) Textiles and Rubber Products
The Ministry’s policy as guided by the Dress Committee is to have all the forces fully dressed with 02 Pairs
of Uniforms and all the accessories that come with it. However, due to insufficient funding, the Ministry
has not been able to provide all the requirements.
In this reporting period, textile and rubber products worth Shs. 10.9bn as planned were procured and paid
for. These items were; Digital Uniforms, Plain BDU, Ranger Boots, Ponchos, Back Packs, Gumboots, Bed
sheets, Blankets and Mosquito nets.
The Ministry fed all troops in Formations (1 Div, 2 Div, 3 Div, 4 Div, 5 Div, AD Div, C/Comdt, FAD,
Marine, Jinja Cantonment and Maga X 2 Cantonment), Hospitals, Training Schools, Inmates and
ceremonies.
also given to the troops in operations to supplement the hotmeals.
During the period under review, the Ministry had a budget allocation of shs 18,537,641,250 on foodstuffs.
This was however not adequate hence a supplementary of shs 30,764,146,511 was given to cater for the
shortfall.

b) Food
Food stuffs of Posho, beans, rice, meat, sugar and other items were provided to the troops. Dry ration was

i. Vehicles
To keep UPDF vehicles and equipment operationally ready and sound, routine service was undertaken.
Maintenance of vehicles in terms of Tyres, Spare parts and routine service were provided in order to
facilitate easy movement of troops and logistics to different destination areas. A budget of shs 6.3bn was
provided for tyres, spare parts and service, these funds were utilized adequately.
UPDF has a number of air capabilities which are used for both operations and transport. These capabilities
are expensive to acquire and maintain. Routine maintenance is expected so as to keep the equipment in a
use-able state. During FY 2013/14, these capabilities were maintained at a cost of shs 7.7bn and this was for
acquisition of spares for the capabilities, routine maintenance and servicing. Although this appears to have
performed within budget, this area has for over years been receiving the same budget allocation and yet its
performance is affected by increase in aircrafts, increase in ground support equipment and evolving
technology.
POL)
During FY 2013/14, the UPDF budget allocation for fuel was shs 10.29bn. The fuel was mainly for training
on Airforce capabilities, transport of troops and logistics by Air, Land and Marine Forces to their
destinations and to maintain and service equipment.
At the beginning of the FY, the Ministry had a shortfall on the fuel budget to cater for its planned activities
hence a supplementary of shs 22,952,862,042 was given. Of this, shs 9,963,257,084 was for LandForces
and shs 12,989,604,958 was to handle training for Air Force.
ery
This FY 2013/14, the Ministry acquired Command vehicles for Commanders to ease their movement and
also to transport troops and logistics. This has gone a long way in facilitating all Commanders upto
Battalion level to easily deliver on their mission. This is a great achievement considering the fact that for a
long time transport for commanders in the field has been a challenge. After Battalion level, the Ministry
will embark on acquiring transport equipment for other Commanders at the lower levels.
Purchase of machinery and equipment was planned to improve efficiency and productivity. Assorted
medical, and signal equipment, computers, printers, office cabinets and photocopiers were procured during
the FY at a cost of Shs.2.2bn.
3. Progressive Training
Continuous training of security personnel in various courses both inland and abroad was aimed at enhancing
combat readiness, improving military welfare and increase resourceful personnel in UPDF/MoD. A number
of courses were completed and some are ongoing. These include:

labour projects on behalf of MOD/UPDF. The works are under the Defence Strategic Infrastructure
Investment Plan (DSIIP), a 5-year plan that commenced in FY 2010/11. Engineers Brigade has continued to
implement various MoD/UPDF projects amidst challenges of inadequate financing with a provisional
budget that can only cater for a portion of the monetary requirement. Prioritization of projects funding,
Engineer’s Brigade capacity building and better procurement processes should be further emphasized for

A. NATIONAL DEFENCE
1. Logistical support provided and sustained
In order to effectively sustain UPDF operations and combat readiness, there is need to provide logistical
support to the troops. This involves acquisition and maintenance of equipment, purchase and supply of
stocks such as food, fuel, spare parts and uniforms
a) Foodstuffs: Agricultural products and dry ration will be procured to maintain the basic welfare of
troops. Soldiers will be fed during training, operations, inmates, sports activities and ceremonies such as
Tarehe-Sita, Heroes day, NRM day, and Independence Day. Agriculture products will include; beans, maize
flour, beef, rice and other cooking items. Dry Ration such as Beefex, Tinned Beans, Biscuits, and Water
Purification Tablets will sustain troops at critical times in operations. An effective system will be put in
place to ensure the sustained supply of Mukene and Cabbages on the troops menu.
The FY 2014/15 budget allocation to food is shs 18.537bn, this has a shortfall of shs 32.557bn. During FY
2013/14, a supplementary of shs 30.764bn was given to enhance the food budget. The ministry seeks that
the food budget is enhanced by shs 32.557bn so that troops are adequately fed.

004 b) Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POL) products: POL products will be required for training purposes,
transportation of troops and Logistics, and maintenance of Military equipment and operational purposes.
The MOD has land, air and marine equipment that require fuelling and therefore procurement of fuel
products will be done during the FY.
There is need for enhancement of the fuel budget by shs 22.953bn so as to sustain the operations,
maintenance and transportation of personnel and logistics. The budget allocation is shs 10.3bn for all the
activities. This is not adequate to facilitate the activities of UPDF. The Ministry will therefore acquire fuel
for this purpose.
c) Refurbish and maintain UPDAF Aircrafts: With the increase in UPDAF capability and the existing
ones, there is need to continuously maintain them in terms of regular refurbishment, maintenance, overhaul
of engines as well as acquisition of spare parts.
d) Maintenance of vehicles: In order to continue maintaining the existing fleet, MoD will purchase tyres,
spare parts, and assorted batteries specifically for maintenance of hard and soft skin vehicles. This will keep
operationally well dressed and maintained vehicles in the hands of troops in the most cost effective manner.
The Ministry will develop a comprehensive plan for sustained plan for the supply of tyres for vehicles in the
field. The Basic Maintenance School in Jinja will become operational.
e) Textiles and clothing: MoD will ensure that soldiers get good quality full uniform/full kit and not piece
meal. These will include Camo BDU, Ranger boots, Service socks, T-shirts, Gum boots, Warm suits, Bivoc
tents, back pack, belts, Poncho, Water bottles, Ground Sheets, Ceremonial Suits, Ceremonial shoes,
Gadgets Pips Crown Arm and Chevrons and General requirements. However, the desire to dress the Force
in full uniform will only be met if the funding requirement of Shs 33bn is met.
f) Accommodation items: A number of accommodation items in terms of beds, mattresses, bedsheets,
blankets, mosquito nets and other assortment of items for Training Schools, Medical Centres and Barracks
will be purchased to provide optimal furnishing of school and residential areas.
g) Hired and chartered transport: In order to enable the timely positioning of strategic stores and
supplement UPDF fleet in support of operations, hire and charter of transport services for ground and air
lifting of personnel and logistics to supplement the existing inadequate fleet will be done.
h) Transport equipment: The ministry will continue to improve transport for utility, logistics and
command.
i) Payment of utilities: MoD will continue paying for utilities such as communication services, electricity
and water to ensure proper running of barracks and all other military installations. Joint Metre reading and
refurbishment of overhead distribution networks will continue.
However, with the new Government Policy to have all Government installations on pre-paid metering, the
Ministry will find a challenge in implementing this Policy. Over the years the Ministry has accumulated
domestic arrears worth shs 22bn on Electricity that have not been settled. Coupled with underfunding on the
MOD electricity allocation of shs 7bn against a requirement of shs 19bn annually, the ministry will not be
able to sustain the Policy. There is need for an intervention to pay all the Ministry’s Domestic arrears and
increase the budget allocation so as to fully implement the prepaid system.

1.Budget performance
Recommendation; The MoFPED should clarify on the Government’s use of the Modified Cash Basis of
Accounting
Response;
At an earlier interface with the committee, the Ministry explained that Government of Uganda adopted the
Modified Cash Basis of Accounting which combines specific elements of the two commonly used
accounting methods, the Cash Basis Method and Accrual method.
The Cash Method recognizes income when it is received and expenses when they are paid whereas the
accrual method recognizes income when it is earned and expenses when they are incurred
Since both of these source methods are somewhat limited in their approach to accounting, the Modified
Cash Basis is sometimes considered a workable compromise that brings together the benefits of both
methods while minimizing the drawbacks.
The Modified Cash Basis Method therefore uses accruals for long-term balance sheet elements like
Domestic Arrears, Revenues from URA, Letters of Credit and Pre-payments and the cash basis for short-
term ones.
The Ministry agrees with the committee that further clarification should be sought from MOFPED on the
use of modifies cash basis of accounting.
2.Production activities in the Army
Recommendation;
NEC
i)The Committee recommends that NEC be capitalized to the tune of UGX. 4bn per annum for the next 4
fiscal years so as to ameliorate dependence on the national budget.
ii)As part of its oversight activities for the FY 2013/14, the Committee on Defence and Internal Affairs
will thoroughly scrutinize NEC activities.
Response; NEC as a Company under the Ministry of Finance should be capitalized by the treasury and not
Ministry of Defence. The Ministry of Defence could capitalize it by way of offer of titled land.

i)The Committee welcomes the progressive manner in which UACC is being run and recommends that
UACC remains competitive in the market.
ii)The Committee recommends the need for Government to provide budgetary subventions to UACC to

undertakes on a quarterly basis to brief the Committee on tangible progress on the construction and
completion of the Military Referral Hospital.

of people resources.

iii) The Committee has instituted a Sub-committee to look into the underlying issues of imbalances,
training, promotions and desertions in the UPDF.
Response;
Desertion is a service offence punishable by law. UPDF leadership has taken legal action on deserters with
149 being imprisoned, 187 detained, 51 under caution and 91 dismissed. A number of the deserters are still
under prosecution.
6. Classified
Recommendation; The Committee recommends that a thorough audit of this component by the Office
of the Auditor General in line with the audit act be carried out to ensure value for money.
Response; Classified expenditure is subject to audit by the Auditor General, who has a special team that
looks at classified expenditures. Likewise, the Public Accounts Committee has a subcommittee to consider
the classified audit report from time to time.
7. Disarmament
Recommendation; The Committee recommends that Uganda Police Force gradually takes over the
disarmament process for better sustainability. This will require bolstering police presence in the region and
nurturing and maintaining synergies with local leaders and communities and other security organs.
Response; The phase of disarmament is over. What still exists are cases of thefts which fall in the docket of
Police as custodians of law and order. We agree with the recommendation and it is our expectation that with
time Police will take over.
8. RTF
Recommendation; With the extension of Amnesty for another 2 years, the Committee is hopeful that if
indeed the counter LRA operations resume, there will be an opportunity for the rebel combatants to return
home and benefit from this clemency.
Response; The Ministry agrees with the recommendation
9. THE ALLIED DEMOCRATIC FORCES (ADF) IN THE EASTERN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF
CONGO (DRC)
Recommendation; The Committee recommends that Government using the International Conference on the
Great Lakes region (ICGLR) should pursue a sustainable solution to the ADF problem. Considering that the
Government of Uganda is using the same framework to tackle the M23 problem in DRC, it is only prudent
that as a country the same framework is relied upon to solve the dilemma.
Response; Under the ICGLR, there were 02 strategies; One was that M23 be handled first and then handle
ADF later.

DefenceMPS:
AnnexDefence
The outcome is that the M23 problem has now been resolved using a combination of dialogue and military
action. For the last 04 months, FARDC and UN MONUSCO have been pursuing the ADF and action is
continuing. We expect that ADF capacity to distract Peace and stability will be significantly reduced.
