Civil Society Organisations are concerned about the shocking scandals uncovered in the Panama papers leak regarding multinational corporate tax evasion and avoidance. These papers explain how multinational companies are evading or avoiding paying their taxes in countries that they operate. In the case of multinational companies operating in Uganda, this denies Uganda much needed resources to fund essential public services like healthcare, agriculture, and education, as well as pay for the public infrastructure needed to raise living standards, increase equality and well-being of Ugandans.
