KAMPALA – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has assented to the Protection of Sovereignty Act, 2026, formally bringing the legislation into law.
The law will also provide for the registration and regulation of agents of foreign entities, regulate funding and other forms of assistance to such agents, and address related matters.
With the presidential assent, the Bill now becomes law and will guide implementation by relevant state institutions in line with existing legal and policy frameworks.
The law is also anticipated to improve clarity in the management of state authority, enhance institutional coordination, and support ongoing efforts aimed at promoting stability, accountability, and orderly governance.
In addition, the Act is expected to complement Uganda’s broader development agenda, particularly in advancing economic transformation, improving public sector efficiency, and safeguarding national policy space as the country continues to engage with regional and international partners.
