Vote Budget Framework Paper FY2023/24
VOTE: 603 Gulu City
FOREWORD
The Budget Framework Paper (BFP) for FY2023/2024 is derived from the statutory planning functions and powers granted to Gulu City by the
Constitution of the Republic of Uganda 1995 as amended and the Local Government Act Cap 243 that establishes the planning mechanisms of Local
Governments. The Budget Framework Paper (BFP) has been prepared to highlight the strategies for achieving socio-economic development objectives
of Gulu City which is in tandem with the budget strategy highlighted in the first budget call circular (BCC) for FY2023/2024. The council still has
challenges in the following areas: inadequate support supervision and monitoring, old and obsolete office administration, inadequate administrative
infrastructures, poor operation and maintenance of equipment and infrastructures; lengthy procurement process, limited capacity of service providers,
poor records & information management and weak mainstreaming of cross-cutting issues among others. This calls for greater efforts in restoration of
access to essential services such as roads, schools, health services, water, re-establishment of strong and reliable local administration services as well as
creation of social order, stability and assurance so that the people are able to regain their productive capacity.
This Budget Framework Paper (BFP) nevertheless recognizes the high potentials that are before Gulu City, most especially fertile soils, reliable
rainfall, vigorous citizenship and strong leadership that has worked in harmony with various local, national and international partners, to whom we as
Gulu City register our heartfelt gratitude.
I therefore, take this juncture to acknowledge the high sense of interest, commitment and co-operation extended to me as the political head in the
attainment of this Budget Framework Paper (BFP). On the above grounds, I have the honor to present the FY2023/2024 Budget Framework Paper
(BFP) to the Government of Uganda, the development partners and stakeholders in the name of the people of Gulu City.
I say this “For God and my Country”
Okwonga Alfred, MAYOR GULU CITY.

VOTE: 603 Gulu City
Revenue Performance in the First Quarter of 2022/23
Gulu City received a total revenue of Ushs.13,842,045,000/= as at 30th September 2022, which represented 27% revenue performance of the approved
budget estimates for FY2022/2023 of Ushs.52,005,931,000/=. The good performance was due to prompt release of USMID grant meant for the current
civil works on-going at various levels.
The releases transferred/disbursed to departments was Ushs.13,842,045,000= which is 100% of the total revenue received in the quarter. Therefore, all
funds received by the Council were all allocated to departments.
However, the total expenditure of Gulu City as at the end of September 2022 was Ushs.11,526,351,000/= which represents only 22% of the approved
expenditure for FY2022/2023 and 88 of the releases to the departments were spent. Therefore, the Ushs.1,503,194,000/= remained unspent as at the
end of
quarter one.
Reasons for unspent balances are stated here below:
The unspent balances reflected in the report is due to huge allocation of wage bill to the city but no recruitment has so far been done. Secondly,
USMID
funds could not be paid during the quarter as planned due to on-going civil works. Finally, late allocation of funds ot locally raised revenue to the
departments and delay to approve warrants also contributed significantly on the unspent balance.
Planned Revenues for FY 2023/24
Gulu City expects to receive a total of UGX 51,614,002,000/= in FY2023/2024. Out of this, locally raised revenue is projected to be
UGXsh.5,833,400,000/=, representing 11% of the total revenues expected in FY2023/2024. This is an improvement in performance for local revenue
due to strict enforcement of Integrated Revenue Administration System (IRAS) in the city. Sources of the revenue are voted as follows: park fees,
business licenses, land fees, deposit-local revenue, gate charges, inspection fees, miscellaneous, other licenses and local service tax among others.
The Central Government Transfers to Gulu City is projected to be UGXsh.45,780,602,000/= which represents 89% of the total revenue projection for
FY2023/2024. It should be noted that, the increase in central government transfers to Gulu City is due to increment in wage for recruiting City’s
critical staff, salary enhancement for science-based staff and secondary school science teachers among others.
Gulu City expects to receive external financing worth UGXsh.537,000,000/= which represents 1% of the total revenue projection for FY2023/2024.
