FINANCE minister Maria Kiwanuka is set to present the 2012/13 national budget to Parliament later in the afternoon. 

Each financial year, the finance minister performs the duty on behalf of the President. After the presentation of budget speech, the President reacts to it.

 MPs, donors, the private sector and NGO leaders will keenly listen to the budget speech at Serena Kampala Hotel. 

This will be the second budget speech Kiwanuka reads as other East African Community finance ministers do the same. 

*** Economic experts led by Stanbic MD Philip Odera, African Alliance MD Kenneth Kitariko, Senior economist of East African Development Bank Jared Osoro, Vision Group CFO Zubair Musoke and Kagaba of the Anti-Corruption coalition Uganda reacted to the speech as it was being read. (BELOW)
