Uganda has just approved a loan of 9 trillion Ugandan shillings ($2.5 billion), intensifying public concern over the country's ballooning debt.

On this edition of DW's AfricaLink Podcast, Adwoa Tenkoramaa Domena speaks with economist Steven Alor and DW Uganda correspondent, Frank Yiga, to explore why Uganda’s debt keeps rising, how it affects everyday citizens, and whether the country can regain control of its financial future.
