The Protection of Sovereignty Art, 2026 is an act of the Parliament of Uganda. It provides for prison sentences of up to twenty years and large fines for "foreign agents" up to 2 billion Ugandan shillings. It was signed by Yoweri Museveni Tibuhaburwa the president of Uganda on 17 May 2026 making it law.
Legislative history The government proposed the bill on 15 April, and parliament referred it to the committee on defence and internal affairs.
The Uganda Bankers' Association said the bill could "undermine investment and stall economic growth" by creating uncertainty for investors, because the bill could classify ordinary international financial activity as foreign interference.
