It is good to be a Vice President of Uganda because the office attracts good salary and benefits.
The remuneration of Uganda’s Vice President, Jessica Alupo, is governed by the Emoluments and Benefits Act of 2010, which outlines the salaries and allowances for the President, Vice President, and Prime Minister. The details of the Vice President’s earnings are specified in the Act’s Third Schedule.
Reports indicate that the Vice President receives an annual salary of approximately 59,398,900 Ugandan shillings, translating to around 4,949,908 UGX per month.
In addition to her salary, she is entitled to several benefits aimed at facilitating her official duties. These include full-time security protection with bodyguards, a chauffeur-driven government vehicle, and access to periodic vehicle replacements.
Medical expenses for both the Vice President and her family are fully covered, ensuring they receive top-tier healthcare. She is also provided with an official residence, and if needed, may receive a housing allowance.
Vice President Alupo has fitted and enjoyed her office by being simple and available to do her work. President Museveni got issues with the former Vice President Prof Gilbert Bukenya who was controversial in some cases.
