IG Launches Strategic Plan, Client Charter And Human Resource Policy And Procedures Manual
Feb. 18, 2026
The
Inspectorate of Government (IG) on 17th February, 2026 launched its new Strategic Plan (FY
2025/2026-2029/2030), Client Charter, and Human Resource Policy and Procedures
Manual, a remarkable step that reinforces the institution’s commitment towards
the fight against corruption.
The Deputy Head
of Public Service, Mrs. Jane Kyarisiima Mwesiga, who presided over the launch
on behalf of the Head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet, Mrs. Lucy
Nakyobe, commended the IG for its innovative approach in restoring public trust
in the institution by offering an evidence-based comprehensive anti-corruption
strategies as indicated in the three documents.
She implored the
IGG, Lady Justice Naluzze Aisha Batala and staff to use these critical
documents as a tool that will guide them in assessing the performance of the
institution.
“These are very
critical instruments offering a good direction in the fight against corruption
and if properly implemented, they will cause a lot of impact. They really show
your renewed commitment to eliminate corruption and this is what the public
wants to see. We will continue supporting your efforts to ensure a corrupt-free
Uganda,” Mrs. Mwesiga said.
In her remarks,
the IGG noted that the three instruments form the core operational framework of
the IG.
“The Strategic
Plan provides our visionary roadmap for a corruption-free Uganda; the Client
Charter publicly commits the Inspectorate of Government to the highest
standards of service and accountability; and the Human Resource Manual
institutionalizes a culture of integrity, fairness and professionalism within
our ranks” Lady Justice Naluzze said.
These
instruments, Lady Justice Naluzze emphasised, signify the IG’s renewed resolve
to transform the institution into a more responsive, efficient and
results-driven anti-corruption body.
She noted that
the Strategic Plan was designed to make a significant contribution to
addressing corruption and is fully aligned with Uganda’s Vision 2040, the
Tenfold Growth Strategy, the Fourth National Development Plan, and the NRM
Manifesto 2026–2031.
“This plan is
not merely a policy document; it is a bold declaration of intent and a firm
institutional commitment to act with courage, independence and precision in the
fight against corruption and maladministration, “she said.
The new
Strategic Plan is anchored on six objectives which include fostering active
participation in the fight against corruption and maladministration at all levels
of governance, strengthening mechanisms for prevention and detection of
corruption in the public sector, and enhancing mechanisms for investigation and
prosecution.
Others include
enhancing enforcement of the Leadership Code of Conduct, enhancing compliance
to laws, rules, systems and regulations, and strengthening institutional and
organisational capacity to deliver its mandate.
The Secretary to
the IG, Mrs. Rose Kafeero, explained that the development of the three
instruments was undertaken through a comprehensive, consultative and physical
approach to ensure inclusiveness, ownership and alignment with institutional
priorities, national development goals, regional and international agenda for
combating corruption.
The launch was
also attended by the Deputy Inspectors General of Government, Dr. Patricia
Achan Okiria and Mrs. Anne Twinomugisha Muhairwe, and the IG Directors and
Managers and Supervisors, Development Partners, and partners from the Civil
Society among others.
The Heads of
Anti-Corruption Agencies who attended the launch include the Auditor General,
Mr. Edward Akol, Director Public Prosecutions, Mr. Lino Anguzu, Head of State
House Anti-Corruption Unit, Brig. Gen. Henry Isoke, and Head of the
Anti-Corruption Division of the High
Court, Justice Michael Elubu.
