Uganda's Deputy Inspector General of Government, Patricia Achan Okiria, has pledged to intensify anti-corruption efforts following her reappointment to a second term by President Yoweri Museveni. Okiria expressed gratitude for the continued confidence placed in her leadership and emphasized her commitment to strengthening accountability systems and safeguarding public resources. She stated her goal of cultivating integrity as a national standard rather than an isolated practice.
President Museveni confirmed multiple judicial appointments yesterday in Mbale, including Okiria's reappointment alongside Jane Frances Abodo as Principal Judge, Lino Anguzu as Director of Public Prosecutions, and Aisha Naluzze Batala as Inspector General of Government. Museveni praised the appointees as young professionals with records free from corruption allegations. The appointments come as Uganda addresses its position at 142nd on Transparency International's 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index, reflecting ongoing challenges with systemic graft.
