Government Officials Contract Suppliers Without Money: Is this Impunity or Strategy? Uganda’s domestic arrears crisis continues to cast a long shadow over businesses, especially Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that depend on government contracts for survival. While suppliers deliver goods and services in good faith, many are left waiting for months and, in some cases, years for payment, exposing them to mounting debt, cash flow challenges, and business uncertainty. The latest issue of theCooperator Magazine (Issue 67) takes a deep dive into the growing domestic arrears burden. Our cover story examines the impact of unpaid government invoices on businesses, the role of public finance management systems and accountability mechanisms, and the implications for Uganda’s private-sector growth agenda.
