Sept. 8, 2025
The Deputy Inspector General of Government, Dr. Patricia Achan Okiria, has called on the Nile Basin Initiative Secretariat to actively participate in the war against corruption.
Speaking
during a one-day workshop held on 4th September 2025 at the
Secretariat’s headquarters in Entebbe, Dr. Okiria reminded staff and members that
winning the war against corruption requires collective effort.
“You
have a responsibility to participate in the war against corruption because when
we collectively fight against it, it will be won,” Dr. Okiria emphasized.
The
training focused on raising awareness about corruption and other fraud-related
matters, and equipping participants with knowledge on how to prevent and report
corruption. The workshop was coordinated by the Inspectorate of Government’s
Directorate of Research, Education and Advocacy (DREA).
The
Secretariat leadership commended the Inspectorate for its role in eliminating
corruption in Uganda and pledged to support the anti-corruption agenda.
This
engagement forms part of the Inspectorate’s broader strategy to strengthen
partnerships with national, regional and international organizations in
building a culture of integrity and accountability.
