Vice President H.E Jessica Alupo Declares to IG

The Vice President of the Republic of Uganda, Her Excellency, Maj. (Rtd) Jessica Alupo, declared her Income, Assets and Liabilities to the Inspectorate of Government (IG).

This was during an engagement with the team from the IG led by the Deputy IGG, Dr. Patricia Achan Okiria, at the Office of the President on Tuesday.

H.E Alupo commended the IG’s innovative Online Declaration System (IG-ODS), saying that it is efficient. She urged other leaders to declare to IG as required by law.

Chief Justice Launches 2025 Declaration Period for Leaders

On March 3, 2025, the Chief Justice of Uganda, Hon. Alfonse Owiny Dollo, officially launched the Declaration of Income, Assets, and Liabilities period for leaders. The event, held at the Supreme Court’s conference hall, was conducted under the theme "Enhanced Accountability through Wealth Declaration."

Under the Leadership Code Act, leaders and public officers are required to declare their incomes, assets and liabilities to the Inspectorate of Government (IG). For 2025, only leaders specified under the Second Schedule of the Leadership Code Act are mandated to submit their declarations within the period from March 1 to March 31, 2025.

In his address, Hon. Dollo expressed concern over the rising levels of corruption in Uganda, attributing it to a decline in moral values. He pointed out that some individuals have amassed unexplained wealth at the expense of the majority, emphasizing the need for accountability and transparency in leadership. He also challenged Ugandans to stop glorifying corruption, noting that the fight against the vice requires both individual and collective responsibility.

"We cannot accuse the IG of failing to eliminate corruption while we remain passive. Fighting corruption is a duty for all of us. If we truly want to end it, we must rise up and say no to corruption," he said.

The Chief Justice welcomed the Inspector General of Government (IGG), Hon. Beti Kamya Turwomwe’s new initiative to investigate ownership of high-rise apartments and luxurious properties in the city, stating that public officials must be able to justify the sources of their wealth. He reiterated that declaration of income, assets and liabilities is a legal obligation that promotes honesty and trust among leaders and public officers.

On the issue of funding, Hon. Dollo called on Parliament to increase the IG’s budget to enhance its ability to educate citizens on the dangers of corruption and effectively carry out its mandate. He also pledged the Judiciary’s support in the fight against corruption.

The State Minister for Ethics and Integrity, Hon. Akello Rose Lilly, commended the Inspectorate of Government (IG) for its relentless efforts in combating corruption. She emphasized that leaders must embrace the declaration process as a key safeguard against corruption.

"I urge all leaders to declare their incomes, assets and liabilities. This process builds confidence that leaders are acting with integrity. Failure to comply will have consequences, and the government remains committed to supporting the IG in its mission," she said.

In her remarks, the Inspector General of Government (IGG), Hon. Beti Kamya Turwomwe, urged leaders to comply with the declaration requirement and ensure transparency. She also encouraged citizens to hold their leaders accountable by questioning the source of their wealth, especially when they acquire multi-billion properties.

"We have received intelligence reports indicating that many of the high-rise apartments in the city suburbs are owned by public servants. We are determined to investigate and ensure that these individuals can explain how they acquired these properties," she stated.

Hon. Kamya also acknowledged that syndicated corruption remains a challenge, but she expressed confidence that it can be dismantled if all stakeholders join the fight. She urged all Ugandans to actively participate in fostering a culture of accountability and integrity to safeguard the nation’s future.
