WHO: Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon. Jacob Marksons Oboth has today hosted the Inspector General of Government Lady Justice Aisha Naluzze Batala, her senior team and all committee chairpersons. WHAT: Presentation of the Inspectorate’s 55th Bi-Annual Performance Report (Jan–Jun 2026), now on the Order Paper for Tuesday, 13 October. WHEN: Monday, 12 October 2026. WHERE: Parliament, Kampala. WHY: Past IG reports were handled late, and Parliament’s recommendations lie “gathering dust.” The Speaker warned that the Inspectorate loses public relevance unless the House acts on its findings. He called corruption “an industry” that outpaces traditional methods. “Corruption is not done in the forest. It’s among us,” he said. HOW: Speaker @ObothOboth directed the Clerk to have the report laid on table this Tuesday and also send stalled parliamentary recommendations to the IG with full evidence. He proposed deadlines in the Rules of Procedure and urged a funded whistleblower reward line. He also asked the Budget Committee to prioritize filling 168 vacant IG posts. THE NUMBERS: 1,472 investigations concluded, 177 Leadership Code probes (up from 13), 26 convictions (an 89.7% rate) and 543 projects inspected. Shs5.72bn was recovered of Shs41.59bn ordered, and Shs1.509bn was recommended for Ombudsman complainants. MPs pressed the IG on value for money and on chasing “small fish.” The IGG’s reply: “No one is untouchable.” Members can take these questions further when the report is laid before the House, tomorrow.

SFC and PPG (Presidential Police) need to reclaim their reputation. I see SFC, an elite force guarding every Tom, Dick and Harry. Including thugs in this town.
