The Inspectorate of Government successfully organised a training programme in Tracing and Recovery of Stolen Assets, held between the 28th May and 1st June 2012 at the Wapakhabulo Auditorium, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Building.

A total of 38 participants in the training were drawn from the Inspectorate of Government, Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Uganda Police. The aim of the training was to bring the participants up to speed with globally acceptable practices in the area of Asset Recovery.

Speaking at the closing of the training, the Ag.IGG, Mr. Baku Raphael, said that the training will go a long way in the fight against corruption as it builds the capacity of participants to trace and recover the assets of persons involved in corruption, making corruption an unprofitable venture. Mr Baku added that there was need to deprive the corrupt from benefiting or enjoying the proceeds of corruption. He further added that the Corrupt must find Uganda a hostile place to live in.

The Commissioner, Economic Crime ACP Fred Enanga noted that the training had given the participants a broader perspective to evaluate and analyze the current situation of corruption and the resultant acquisition of assets within Uganda and abroad. He pledged the commitment of Uganda Police to work with other inter-agencies to avail and provide information and inputs that would enable recovery of assets. He further acknowledged that the challenge was still with the respective institutions to translate the concept into concrete benefits for the Ugandan Taxpayer.

The Training was facilitated by Ms Sarah Birungi and Mr Victor Acidri of Inspectorate of Government, Jane Francis Abodo of Directorate of Public Prosecution and AIP David Ngobi of Uganda Police.
