Parliament is set to receive three major government statements next week covering Uganda's international treaty obligations, the condition of roads across the country, and progress in expanding electricity access under the Electricity Access Scale-up Project.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Development will brief Parliament on the implementation status of the Electricity Access Scale-up Project, which is aimed at expanding electricity connectivity across Uganda.

The scheduled ministerial statements are expected to give Members of Parliament an opportunity to scrutinise government performance in infrastructure development, energy access and the country's international obligations before debating the issues and making recommendations.
