The Inspectorate Government has revealed that it is waiting for up to 34,000 wealth declarations by various leaders in compliance with the Leadership Code.


The declaration which started on March 1 will run until March 31, 2023.

The Code requires a public officer to, declare his or her assets, income and liabilities to the Inspector General of Government within three months of starting work in the public service. The law stipulates that officers who fail to, without justifiable cause, comply with the request within 60 days will be subjected to a warning or caution, dismissal or vacation of office.

Dr Patricia Achan Okiria, the Deputy Inspector General of Government says that the declarations help the Inspectorate enforce transparency, detect illicit enrichment, and prevent the misappropriation of public resources. She was speaking after declaring her wealth and that of the IG Beti Olive Kamya to the Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among in her boardroom today.

During the same event, Speaker Anita Among equally declared her income, assets and liabilities to the Inspectorate and rallied other legislators and staff of Parliament to comply and avoid the repercussions.
