A state of the nation address is an annual address in which the President reports on the status of the nation, to a new Parliament.
The president gives accountability on particular government commitments and appraises parliament of the plans and strategies for the next year.
It happens ahead of the reading of the financial year’s budget. Analysts believe President Museveni will zero this year’s address on the state of roads, electricity, Oil and security among many others.
