CORRUPTION IN UGANDA: WILL PUTTING SHS 2.8BN IN THE BUDGET TO INSTIL DISCIPLINE MAKE SENSE?

 THE CORRUPTION WHICH COSTS UGANDA BILLIONS OF SHILLINGS EVERY YEAR IS BY PEOPLE IN RESPONSIBLE POSITIONS WHO KNOW, BUT THE MACHINERY IN PLACE IS INCAPABLE OF HANDLING MOST CASES AS THEY ARISE.


The Office of the President seeks UGX 2.8 billion in the next Financial Year Budget to instill morals in Ugandans to fight corruption.


Even if that money is availed, it will not do much. What Uganda needs is to improve on the way corruption cases are handled as well as better managing the loopholes through which the professional corrupt steal public as well as money for individuals.


For example for 12 years now, I have written to many Government of Uganda departments and Ministries following the funds I raised from outside Uganda which were stolen, but I am not proud of any department that has made a positive move regarding these matters. If Government has any commitment, it is a matter of dealing with the system which lacks in checks and balances and that all Ugandans should be equal under the law.
