Ugandan opposition leader Mugisha Muntu announced his Alliance for National Transformation party will pursue strict anti-corruption measures if elected in 2026. The party blames graft for government waste and service delivery failures that cost Uganda approximately $2.6 billion annually. ANT plans to enforce harsh penalties against corrupt officials through asset recovery and public exposure while strengthening oversight agencies such as the Inspectorate of Government.
The party's plan emphasizes merit-based hiring and independent institutions led by honest officials. Muntu argues that current anti-corruption bodies remain weak because corrupt leaders control them. His government would impose accountability from the top down, starting with the president and cabinet members. The strategy relies on public awareness campaigns to show citizens how corruption directly harms their daily lives through reduced services and wasted tax revenue.
