KAMPALA.
The Inspectorate of Government (IGG) cracks down on corruption and mismanagement, recovering funds and addressing systemic weaknesses in public institutions.
The Inspector General of Government, Aisha Batala Naluze, has revealed that between July and December 2025, the Inspectorate registered 1,516 complaints, of which 1,151 cases—75 percent—were sanctioned.
During the period, the agency investigated and concluded 308 corruption cases and 330 Ombudsman matters, including 14 high-profile corruption cases.
More than Shs2.02 billion was recovered, while more than Shs844 million was paid to public officials previously denied or delayed their salaries, pensions, and gratuity, the IGG said.
The Inspectorate also noted that 378 out of 1,392 recommendations (27 percent) were implemented by various government institutions.
To address systemic weaknesses, it conducted eight systemic investigations and seven systems reviews aimed at improving service delivery.
Additionally, 246 breach-of-code investigations and 927 verification exercises were concluded, and 27 new cases were generated through intelligence-led operations, reflecting a shift toward proactive enforcement.
To strengthen oversight, IGG Batala Naluze visited regional offices in Kabale, Mbarara, and Masaka, carrying out spot checks at hospitals.
The inspections led to three arrests and highlighted challenges such as overcrowding, non-functional equipment, medicine shortages, and alleged extortion by some staff.
Officials say the findings will guide further reforms to improve accountability and service delivery across public institutions.
