This article provides a comparative analysis of state repression during Uganda’s 2016, 2021, and 2026 general elections. Utilizing a qualitative review of secondary data including human rights reports, judicial records, and legislative texts the study investigated how the Ugandan state has evolved its tactical response to political dissent. While the 2016 cycle was defined by overt, physical coercion, the 2021 and 2026 cycles revealed a transition toward “smart” repression, characterized by digital surveillance, legislative weaponization, and clandestine extrajudicial operations.

The study examined the impact of taxation on the financial performance of small-scale enterprises (SSEs) in Kanungu District, Uganda. The research was anchored on the Allingham and Sandmo Theory (1972), which posits that taxpayers are rational actors who weigh the risks and benefits of tax compliance. The theory was applied to understand how factors such as the probability of detection, severity of penalties, complexity of tax procedures, and taxpayer awareness influence compliance behavior and, consequently, the financial outcomes of SSEs.
