President Yoweri Museveni has signed the Protection of Sovereignty Act, 2026 into law on May 17, 2026.
The legislation, passed by Parliament in early May after amendments addressing public concerns, requires registration of agents acting for foreign interests and regulates foreign funding primarily to shield policy decision-making from external interference.
Museveni described the law as protecting Uganda’s independence in areas like politics and diplomacy while explicitly preserving foreign direct investments, remittances, and humanitarian activities.
