Igg Urges Staff To Change Public Perception Of The Institution
July 10, 2012, 5:28 a.m. Read MoreThe Inspector General of Government (IGG), Her Lordship Lady Justice Irene Mulyagonja Kakooza has called upon the staff of the Inspectorate of Government to re-strategise in order to gain the confidence of the public.
She noted that the public that the institution is meant to serve has lost confidence and therefore prefers to take their complaints to other institutions.
The IGG was addressing the senior level officers at the Inspectorate of Government in her maiden interaction with the staff after her appointment. Justice Mulyagonja pointed out the factors that have led to loss of public confidence as; Leakage of information, Staff getting compromised during investigations leading to cases being closed and Running to the press with information for publication.
The IGG noted that the increase in the Institution budget is a show of confidence of Government which can otherwise be reversed if the concerns are not addressed. She urged the staff to come with strategies on how to address the negative perception of the institution.
In addition, the IGG noted that she was not ready to compromise on the standard of work. Everyone should strive to be excellent in whatever he or she does and that it was important to do everything in the right way, she added.
Justice Mulyagonja commended Mr Raphael Baku for the work done and noted that he had been serving under very difficult circumstance.
Mr Baku, the Deputy IGG thanked and appreciated the staff for the work done during the period when there was an incomplete IG.
He welcomed the IGG and informed the staff that all complaints would now be forwarded to the IGG and that the 2 units under the office of the IGG should report directly to the IGG.
