The Ugandan government plans to write off more than Shs35 billion in tax arrears owed by tea factories as part of an intervention to revive the struggling tea industry, according to Deputy Speaker of Parliament Thomas Tayebwa. He announced that the arrears will be waived when Parliament resumes after recess, following efforts by MPs from Greater Bushenyi and other tea-growing areas. Tayebwa made the announcement on Tuesday, 08 September 2026, while representing President Yoweri Museveni at a burial in Bushenyi District.
