Sept. 1, 2026
The Inspector General of Government (IGG), Lady Justice
Naluzze Aisha Batala, has welcomed newly recruited Inspectorate Officers to the
Inspectorate of Government during an induction training at the Civil Service
College, Jinja.
The five-day training, which began on 31st August 2026, is
aimed at equipping the new officers with a deeper understanding of the
Inspectorate's mandate, values, systems and expectations.
Welcoming the officers, the IGG congratulated them upon
their appointment and reminded them that joining the Inspectorate comes with a
great responsibility, given its critical role in promoting good governance,
transparency, accountability, integrity and anti-corruption.
“You have not simply joined another public institution. You
have joined an institution whose work directly affects the lives of citizens
and the quality of public service delivery in our country,” she said.
Lady Justice Naluzze emphasised that integrity,
professionalism and teamwork must define their work, saying, “the public expects
us to be fair. They expect us to be professional. They expect us to act without
fear or favour. Treat your colleagues with respect, share knowledge and learn
from one another.”
She also urged the officers to take personal responsibility
for their work by being punctual, meeting deadlines, maintaining proper
records, protecting official information and following established procedures.
The IGG reminded the new officers that the Inspectorate
ultimately exists to serve the people of Uganda, and that their work can have a
direct impact on public service delivery and national development.
She encouraged the officers to embrace continuous learning
and professional development, particularly as the nature of corruption evolves
and technology creates new opportunities for both service delivery and abuse.
The IGG challenged the new officers to be agents of
positive change within the institution and to continuously seek better ways of
serving citizens.
Ms. Savia Mugwanya, the Commissioner Civil Service College
Uganda, also an Inspectorate of Government Appointments Board Member
representing the Ministry of Public Service, welcomed the IGG to the college
and commended the Inspectorate for organising the induction programme.
Ms. Mugwanya urged the newly recruited officers to make
full use of the knowledge and skills gained during the training and challenged
them to become exemplary public officers in the execution of their duties.
