IGG Betty Kamya, State House Anti Graft Boss Isoke Hold Meeting On Curbing Corruption

By Spy Uganda

The State House Anti-Corruption boss, Brig. Gen Henry Isoke last evening held a meeting with the Inspector General of Government (IGG), Beti Kamya to discuss how to curb the vice of corruption that has for years hindered the country’s growth.

Corruption increases inequality, decreases popular accountability and political responsiveness, and thus produces rising frustration and hardship among citizens, who are then more likely to accept (or even demand) hard-handed and illiberal tactics.

In a tweet inked by the State House Anti Corruption Unit, the two bosses in the meeting discussed issues of mutual interest in strengthening the war against corruption.

The State House Anti Corruption Unit (SH-ACU) in one year, 2022, managed to recover Ugx35.484bn from corruption masters of this country, the annual report revealed.

The Unit also managed to arrest and arraign in court over 448 suspects. Among these, courts convicted 70 culprits including government accounting Officers, Executive Officers, managing directors, Secretaries of Commission, CAOs, and Town Clerks.

SH-ACU was established under Article 99(4) of the constitution of Uganda, which gives the President executive powers to either directly or indirectly perform his duties or through officers subordinate to him.

Launched on 10th December 2018, SH-ACU coordinates with all constitutionally mandated agencies to ensure a corruption-free country.

The Unit also acts as a link between H.E. the President, citizens, and Anti- Corruption agencies in relation to Anti-Corruption issues.
