The Inspector General of Government (IGG), Her Lordship Lady Justice Irene Mulyagonja Kakooza has called upon the staff of the Inspectorate of Government to re-strategise in order to gain the confidence of the public.

She noted that the public that the institution is meant to serve has lost confidence and therefore prefers to take their complaints to other institutions.

The IGG was addressing the senior level officers at the Inspectorate of Government in her maiden interaction with the staff after her appointment. Justice Mulyagonja pointed out the factors that have led to loss of public confidence as; Leakage of information, Staff getting compromised during investigations leading to cases being closed and Running to the press with information for publication.

The IGG noted that the increase in the Institution budget is a show of confidence of Government which can otherwise be reversed if the concerns are not addressed. She urged the staff to come with strategies on how to address the negative perception of the institution.

In addition, the IGG noted that she was not ready to compromise on the standard of work. Everyone should strive to be excellent in whatever he or she does and that it was important to do everything in the right way, she added.

Justice Mulyagonja commended Mr Raphael Baku for the work done and noted that he had been serving under very difficult circumstance.

Mr Baku, the Deputy IGG thanked and appreciated the staff for the work done during the period when there was an incomplete IG.

He welcomed the IGG and informed the staff that all complaints would now be forwarded to the IGG and that the 2 units under the office of the IGG should report directly to the IGG.

Hon Lady Justice Irene Mulyagonja was an assistant lecturer at Law Development Centre for 6 yrs, an advocate with Mulira and Co Advocates, started a firm with a colleague, Vice Chair of FIDA Uganda, participated in various Consultancies for different institutions.

She was appointed Judge in 2008 and has been working in the commercial division of the High Court.

Lady Justice Irene Mulyagonja becomes the 4th IGG since the Inspectorate of Government was established.

The Inspectorate of Government successfully organised a training programme in Tracing and Recovery of Stolen Assets, held between the 28th May and 1st June 2012 at the Wapakhabulo Auditorium, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Building.

A total of 38 participants in the training were drawn from the Inspectorate of Government, Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Uganda Police. The aim of the training was to bring the participants up to speed with globally acceptable practices in the area of Asset Recovery.

Speaking at the closing of the training, the Ag.IGG, Mr. Baku Raphael, said that the training will go a long way in the fight against corruption as it builds the capacity of participants to trace and recover the assets of persons involved in corruption, making corruption an unprofitable venture. Mr Baku added that there was need to deprive the corrupt from benefiting or enjoying the proceeds of corruption. He further added that the Corrupt must find Uganda a hostile place to live in.

The Commissioner, Economic Crime ACP Fred Enanga noted that the training had given the participants a broader perspective to evaluate and analyze the current situation of corruption and the resultant acquisition of assets within Uganda and abroad. He pledged the commitment of Uganda Police to work with other inter-agencies to avail and provide information and inputs that would enable recovery of assets. He further acknowledged that the challenge was still with the respective institutions to translate the concept into concrete benefits for the Ugandan Taxpayer.

The Training was facilitated by Ms Sarah Birungi and Mr Victor Acidri of Inspectorate of Government, Jane Francis Abodo of Directorate of Public Prosecution and AIP David Ngobi of Uganda Police.
