Talk To The Ombudsman: Deputy IGG Takes Office Of Options Message To Makerere University
Oct. 5, 2026
The Deputy IGG, Mrs. Anne Twinomugisha Muhairwe, has kicked off the 2026 International Ombudsman Day commemorations with a courtesy visit to Makerere University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe.
Under the theme “Ombuds: Office
of Options,” the visit makes Makerere the first public institution visited by
the Inspectorate of Government during this year’s commemorations.
Mrs. Muhairwe, who is also
President of the African Ombudsman and Mediators Association (AOMA), emphasised
that the Ombuds is not an “office of critics,” but an avenue for fairness,
accountability, reconciliation and peaceful resolution of grievances.
Prof. Nawangwe welcomed the
engagement and commended the Inspectorate’s reconciliation-based approach to
resolving disputes, noting that collaboration between the two institutions can
strengthen fair and accountable service delivery.
The visit concluded with a tour
of the Makerere University Museum, highlighting the institution’s rich history
and evolution.
