The Inspectorate of Government has appealed to Parliament to allocate additional resources to support the automation of its business processes, procurement of modern investigative equipment and recruitment of more personnel to strengthen the fight against corruption.
The call was made by the Inspector General of Government Hon Betty Namisango Kamya while presenting the Inspector General of Government bi-annual performance report for the period July to December 2024 to Parliament.
According to the report, the IGG recovered Ugx 4.1 billion from corrupt officials during the reporting period, bringing the total recoveries in 2024 to Ugx 6.8 billion.
Hon Kamya said that despite operational challenges, the IGG has made substantial progress in raising public awareness about the cost and consequences of corruption, particularly its effects on governance and economic development.
The report was received by the Parliamentary Commissioner, Hon Esther Afoyochan who represented the Speaker, Rt Hon Anita Among and the Inspectorate of Government and promised to make a case for sufficient budget support to enable the fulfillment of their mandate.
