IG Trains Focal Persons Ahead Of Declaration For Public Officers, April 2026
Nov. 6, 2025
The
Inspectorate of Government (IG) on 6th November, 2025, conducted a
training for Institution Focal Persons (FPs) that will provide technical
support to public officers during the declaration of Income, Assets and
Liabilities period in April 2026.
Mr.
Joram Magezi, the Director Leadership Code, urged the over 100 FPs who attended
the online training to update information in the registers for all public
officers in their respective institutions on the IG Online Declaration System
(IG-ODS) by 31st December 2025.
“Our
target is to have 100% declarations and that’s why we must prepare early and
ensure that all public officers are registered in the system,” Mr. Magezi said.
The IG
is mandated under Leadership Code Act, Cap 33 and Section 7(1) (d) of the IG
Act to enforce the Leadership Code of Conduct.
When does a public officer declare?
All
Public Officers holding a public office by 1st April 2026, will be
required to submit their declarations to the Inspector General of Government (IGG),
from 1st to 30th
April 2026. Thereafter, any newly appointed public officer will be required to declare within
three months after becoming a public officer; and after every five years in the
month of April.
Reminder:
Any public officer who
fails to submit their declaration by 30th April 2026 will be in
breach of the Act and will be prosecuted by the Leadership Code Tribunal.

Leaders who declared in March 2025 are not
required to declare in April 2026.
