On 11th September 2025, the Inspectorate of Government (IG) joined over 300 secondary school head teachers under the Association of Secondary School Head Teachers of Uganda (ASSHU) at Masaka Secondary School for a national engagement aimed at strengthening integrity, accountability, and effective school management.

Representing the IG, Mr. Kakooza Savio Ntensibe, Director Ombudsman Affairs, together with Mr. Agaba Samuel, Regional Inspectorate Officer, Masaka Regional Office, and other IG staff, sensitized participants on the IG’s threefold mandate: fighting corruption, ensuring adherence to the rule of law and principles of natural justice (Ombudsman Role), and enforcing the Leadership Code of Conduct.

The IG team highlighted common challenges in the education sector such as staff grievances, student welfare issues, financial mismanagement, irregular procurement, and forgery of academic documents.

They urged head teachers to strengthen grievance handling mechanisms, uphold ethical leadership and work closely with the IG in addressing systemic irregularities.

The session concluded with a call to action for head teachers to be champions of accountability and transparency, fostering safe and effective learning environments in partnership with the IG.
