xi REPORT TO PARLIAMENT JULY – DECEMBER 2013

1.3.2 Corruption Investigations

The powers of the Inspectorate of Government to investigate or cause investigation, arrest or cause arrest, prosecute or cause prosecution in respect of cases involving corruption and abuse of authority are stipulated in Article 230 of the 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda and Sec.14(5) of the Inspectorate of Government Act 2002.

Practices that are deemed by law under Anti-Corruption Act 2009 as corrupt include such acts as brib-ery, extortion, diversion of public resources, influence peddling, conflict of interest, abuse of office, loss of public property, sectarianism, nepotism, embezzlement, causing financial loss, false assumption of authority, fraudulent disposal of trust property, false accounting, false claims, uttering of false certifi-cates by public officers and illicit enrichment. Therefore, in the implementation of the Anti-Corruption function, the IG carries out investigations where commission of any offence under the Anti-Corruption Act or the Inspectorate of Government Act 2002 is alleged. Where the subject of an investigation is found to have committed a criminal offence, investigations may result in arrest and prosecution.

During the period July – December 2013, the Inspectorate received 1,050 corruption complaints which accounted for 69.4% of the total complaints that were received. The corruption complaints received during the current reporting period increased by 22.7% compared to the previous period (January – June 2013). A total of 545 investigations were completed during the reporting period while 386 inves-tigations were completed during the previous period. This implies that performance in investigation of cases involving corruption increased by 41.2%. Only 27 complaints were processed and referred to other institutions during the current period compared to 112 complaints that were referred to other institutions during the previous period.

Analysis of complaints received by the IG indicated that the most complaints were those against Dis-trict Administrators and individual public officers each accounting for 15.9% of the total complaints received. This was followed by complaints against Municipal Councils/Town Councils with 9.2% of the total complaints received. Complaints against the Uganda Police Force were 7.7% of the total com-plaints received while complaints against administrators of schools (both primary and secondary) were also high accounting for 6.8% of the total complaints. In comparison with the previous period, the above categories are sill the highest of the institutions/departments complained against. Details of the institutions/departments complained against are contained in table XIII of this report

1.3.3 Arrests and Prosecutions

During the period under review, twenty eight (28) public officers were arrested for various corruption offences and charged in courts of law. IG prosecuted one hundred and twenty one (121) cases, out of which one hundred and nine (109) were carried forward from the previous period and twelve (12) were new cases registered in courts of law during the reporting period. Three (3) cases resulted into convic-tion, two (2) resulted in acquittals, two (2) cases were withdrawn and none abated.

xiiREPORT TO PARLIAMENT JULY – DECEMBER 2013

1.3.4 Civil cases

As part of its mandate of fighting corruption and defending its actions, the Inspectorate of Government has been handling civil suits, including civil applications and constitutional petitions instituted against it in courts of Judicature. During the period under review IG handled seventeen (17) civil cases in courts of law. Four (4) were concluded and thirteen (13) cases are still on-going. Two (2) of these are pending ruling and one (1) is yet to be fixed for hearing. For details of civil cases, see Appendix D of this report.

1.3.5 Monitoring and Inspection of NUSAF II and PRDP II Projects

The IG was co-opted under the Transparency, Accountability and Anti-Corruption (TAAC) sub-compo-nent to ensure efficiency of public expenditure under the fund. This sub-component is aimed at ensur-ing transparency, accountability and putting in place anti-corruption measures in the implementation of the two projects. TAAC is being implemented by IG and both enforcement and preventive/proactive measures are used to ensure that the projects are not frustrated by corruption and other malpractices.

During the period under review IG monitored and inspected NUSAF II and PRDP II projects in the dis-tricts of Bukwo, Kween, Katakwi, Gulu, Alebtong and Kole.

IG staff also carried out training for CPMCs, CPCs, SACs in Oyam, Dokolo, Alebtong, Amolatar, Pallisa, Kibuku, Bulambuli and Sironko districts.

For findings of the inspection and monitoring done and the recommendations that were made, refer to Chapter two of this report.

1.3.6 Promoting the Rule of Law and Administrative Justice (The Ombudsman Function)

The Constitution empowers the Inspectorate of Government not only to curb corruption but article 225 (1) also empowers the IG to ensure strict adherence to the rule of law and principles of natural justice in administration; to promote fair, efficient and good governance in public offices; and to investigate any act, omission, advice, decision or recommendation by a public officer or any other authority to which article 225 applies, taken, made, given or done in exercise of administrative functions.

1.3.6.1 Ombudsman Investigations

During the period under review, the Inspectorate of Government received various complaints against public officers which included mismanagement of public funds and property, employment disputes such as irregular recruitments, unfair dismissals, victimization, Non-payment or delayed payment of salary, salary arrears, leave allowances, gratuity, terminal benefits and failure to access/deletion from payroll, Inheritance and administration of estates disputes, Property disputes, Improper tendering pro-cedures especially by both central and district local governments.

The Inspectorate had a total of 1,947 ombudsman complaints. 460 of these were new complaints re-ceived during the period while 1,487 were complaints brought forward from the previous period. Out of 460 complaints received, 21 complaints were found to lack merit and the complainants were advised accordingly. 117 complaints were processed and referred to other institutions, while 254 complaints were investigated and completed; 1,555 complaints were carried forward. Most of the Ombudsman complaints were related to nonpayment of salary, pension, gratuity and other benefits. During the peri-od under review, the institution mostly complained against was the Ministry of Public Service.


xiii REPORT TO PARLIAMENT JULY – DECEMBER 2013

Many complaints relating to deletion from payroll and non-payment of pension and salary arrears were successfully handled.

1.3.7 Policy and Systems Studies

The Constitution and the Inspectorate of Government Act 2002, empower the Inspectorate of Gov-ernment to promote fair, efficient and good governance in public offices. Given that strengthening of institutions is a key anti-corruption measure, the Inspectorate of Government carries out studies into operations, policies, systems, procedures and legislation of various Government Departments and Institutions with a view to identify weak areas that may be conducive to corruption and make recom-mendations for remedial measures.

The institutions to be studied are selected on the basis of information the Inspectorate of Government receives through public complaints, media reports, audit reports and periodic surveys. During the peri-od under review, the IG focused on four (4) major systems studies details of which are found in chapter three of this report.

1.3.8 Enforcement of the Leadership Code of Conduct

The Constitution and the Leadership Code Act, 2002 mandate the Inspectorate of Government to en-sure that specified leaders declare their incomes, assets, and liabilities once every two years explaining how they acquired or incurred them respectively. This is to ensure that leaders adhere to a standard of behaviour that promotes integrity, transparency and accountability in their conduct of public affairs. The Act imposes penalties on leaders who breach it.

During the period under review a total of 9,551 declarations were examined. Income, assets and liabil-ities of fourteen (14) leaders were verified and a total of forty four (44) properties were inspected and valued. Sixty four (64) bank accounts were inspected and a total of twenty three (23) verifications and investigations were completed. Details of these are given in chapter four of this report.

1.3.9 Public Awareness Programmes

The Inspectorate of Government is constitutionally mandated to sensitize and educate the public about the values of constitutionalism in general and the activities of the Institution in particular, through any media or any other means it considers appropriate. The public is educated about their constitutional right to access public services without having to pay bribes and made aware of their civic duties and responsibilities to demand for accountability from their leaders, value for money and also on how to report corrupt practices to the Inspectorate of Government.

During the period under review, the IG continued to carry out public awareness programmes through; supporting the integrity clubs in universities and other tertiary institutions, radio programmes, work-shops and presentation of papers on topical issues to various public servants.

IG also organized a series of activities for the anti-corruption week from 2nd to 9th December 2013. The activities included; an anti-corruption procession, a press conference, boardroom sessions and a public dialogue on the anti-corruption day which coincided with IG‘s 25 years of existence.

1.3.10 Capacity Building through Training and International Cooperation

1.3.10.1 Training

The Inspectorate of Government is committed to strengthening and building capacity of its staff through training in order to equip them with knowledge, skills and attitudes to improve their per-formance.

1.3.10.2 National and International Cooperation

Despite the continued support by Government and donors to strengthen the Institution, which is high-ly appreciated, the IG continues to face a number of constraints and challenges, most of which arise from inadequate funding. These constraints and challenges affect the IG’s effective implementation of its mandate of combating corruption, maladministration and enforcing the Leadership Code of Con-duct.

The challenges and constraints include; inadequacies in the existing legal framework, limited human and financial resources, negative societal attitudes and failure to implement of IG recommendations, court delays, poor record keeping, lack of computerized data in many public institutions and high cost of renting office premises.

IG Kampala Regional Office inaugurated

H.E. the Danish Ambassador officially opening IG’s 16th Regional Office in Kampala.

The Inspectorate of Government officially inaugurated its 16th Regional Office as part of the activities to commemorate the International Anti-Corruption Day 2013.

Speaking at the colorful function, the Danish Ambassador to Uganda, H.E Dan E. Frederikson hailed the Inspectorate for the promotion of good governance in Uganda, but warned that the country’s economy will continue to slow down if theft and misuse of public funds are not dealt with. He also condemned the recent freeze of the Anti-Corruption Court, which he said has retarded the fight against corruption. He urged the Judiciary to handle the Constitutional petition against the court expeditiously so that it could resume operations. The court has since been reopened.



The office is located at Plot 1645 Gyagenda Road, Ntinda-Kiwatule. It will handle complaints from Mubende, Mityana, Gomba, Butambala, Mpigi, Wakiso and Kampala area.

DISTRICTS SERVED BY THE INSPECTORATE OF GOVERNMENT REGIONAL OFFICES



2.1 INTRODUCTION

In the implementation of the Anti-Corruption function the IG carries out investigations where commis-sion of any offence under the Anti-Corruption Act 2009 or the Leadership Code Act is alleged. Where the subject of an investigation is found to have committed an offence he/she may be arrested and prosecuted. Disciplinary action in varying degrees from warnings to dismissal may also be recom-mended to the supervisors of public officers and monies lost or embezzled recovered from the culprits. Assets may also be confiscated from a public officer who investigations establish to have acquired them through corrupt means.

This Chapter, therefore, gives brief facts about investigations of corruption, arrests and prosecutions that were carried out during the reporting period. The chapter also highlights the findings and recom-mendations made by the IG in its role to ensure proper use of NUSAF II and PRDP II funds.

2.2 INVESTIGATIONS

The table below illustrates the comparative analysis of the general investigations carried out during the current and previous reporting periods.

The graph above shows that a total of 822 complaints were investigated and completed during the current reporting period compared to 712 complaints that were completed during the previous period. This shows that the performance of the IG, as far as investigations are concerned, improved during the current period.

A total of 1,050 corruption complaints which accounted for 69.4% of the total complaints were re-ceived. The corruption complaints received during the current reporting period increased by 22.7% compared to the previous period (January – June 2013) which was 856. A total of 545 corruption com-plaints were investigated and completed while 386 complaints were completed during the previous reporting period.

Of the total number of new corruption complaints received by the Inspectorate, 665 (63.3%) were re-ceived at the Headquarters in Kampala while 385 (36.7%) were registered at the Regional Offices.

The nature of corruption complaints investigated and completed during the period, are shown in the table below:

Table V: Corruption complaints investigated and completed during the period July – December 2013

Corruption Complaints Number of Complaints %age1 Abuse of office 149 18.1%2 Forgery and uttering of false documents 59 7.2%3 Embezzlement 56 6.8%4 Bribery 34 4.1%5 Misappropriation 62 7.5%6 Conflict of interest 31 3.8%7 Corruption 86 10.5%8 False Claims 21 2.6%9 Audit Queries 37 4.5%

10 Extortion 10 1.2%11 Sub Total 545 66.3%



Analysis of the complaints received by the Inspectorate of Government during the period July – De-cember 2013 show that those against district administrators together with individual public officers are the highest each accounting for 15.9% of the total complaints received. These were public officials who were alleged to have used their offices for private gain. There are several types of corruption that occur in local governments. Some are more common than others, and some are more prevalent to local governments than to larger segments of Government. Local governments may be more susceptible to corruption because interactions between private individuals and officials happen at greater levels of intimacy and with more frequency than at decentralized levels. Forms of corruption pertaining to mon-ey like bribery, extortion, embezzlement, and graft are commonly found in local government systems. Other forms of corruption found are nepotism and patronage. There is therefore need to strengthen auditing in local governments.

Another category that was complained against most was Municipal Councils/Town Councils account-ing for 9.2% of the total complaints received. The nature of complaints in this category included mis-handling of tenders/contracts, conflict of interest, abuse of office, embezzlement and property dis-putes. Most complaints in this category were registered at the regional offices. Municipalities require more local officials to represent and manage them. With more officials, it becomes more difficult to monitor their activities. This encourages corruption to occur because there is less likelihood of getting caught and prosecuted.

The 4th ranked category was Uganda Police which accounted for 7.7% of the total complaints regis-tered. The nature of complaints against police included mishandling of cases, bribery, abuse of office, and delay of service delivery. The Uganda Police Force is the most bribery-prone institution in the coun-try, because bribery is either demanded by Police or offered by the people seeking service from the police. The Police Standards Unit is doing a commendable job to instill discipline in the force but they need to be strengthened in order to be more effective in curbing internal corruption.

Complaints against head teachers (both primary & secondary schools) were the 5th highest account-ing for 6.8% of the total complaints received. Most complaints against school administration involved mismanagement, nonpayment of employees, victimization/oppression and general misconduct. There is need to demand a commitment to high quality education that’s available to all. For this, policy in-formation that is clear and easy to understand is needed. National, district and school budgets need to be published in detail so that monitoring of resources allocated is made easier. Confidential com-plaint channels are essential to report suspected corruption without fear of retaliation. It is important to have clear regulations controlling education finance and management. These give guidelines on new schools, exam processes and fees. Regular external audits must take place to detect and deter fraud. And frequent school inspections can prevent corruption in teacher management and behaviour. Consistent penalties for abuses are also needed. No teacher should be appointed without proof of their qualifications and experience. The details of complaints against institutions/departments are contained in table XIII of this report.



2.3 ARRESTS MADE

As stated earlier the IG has powers to arrest or cause arrests of people who investigations reveal to have engaged in corrupt practices and abuse of office or authority or who for no good reason refuse or ignore to respond to summons issued by the IG. During the period under review, twenty eight (28) public officers were arrested for various corruption offences and most of them are being prosecuted in the courts of law. For details of the arrests that were effected see appendix B of this report.

2.4 PROSECUTIONS

2.4.1 Introduction:

The powers of the Inspectorate of Government to prosecute or cause prosecution of suspects alleged to have been engaged in corruption and abuse of office are derived from the Constitution of the Re-public of Uganda which provides in Article 230 that:

“The Inspectorate of Government shall have power to investigate, cause investigation, ar-rest, cause arrest, prosecute or cause prosecution in respect of cases involving corruption, abuse of authority or of public office”.

During the period under review, the IG prosecuted one hundred twenty one (121) cases, out of which one hundred and nine (109) were carried forward from the previous period (i.e. on-going cases and pending appeals as at 30th June 2013) and twelve (12) were new cases registered in courts of law during the reporting period. Three (3) cases resulted into conviction, two (2) resulted in acquittals, two (2) cases were withdrawn and none abated. Eighty five (85) cases were on-going at first trial and thirty one (31) cases were on appeal, as at 31st December, 2013. For details of cases that were prosecuted by IG during the period under review, please see Appendix C of this report.

The graph above shows that there is an upward trend of prosecutions conducted by the IG.



2.4.2 Constraints encountered in prosecution of cases

(i) One major constraint was stay of proceedings before magistrates who are under the High Court Anti-Corruption Division. During the reporting period the court that handles the bulk of IG cases was closed making it impossible for IG to conclude cases in that court.

(ii) Other courts country wide have many cases and they do not prioritize hearing of corruption cases.

2.5 CIVIL CASES

Through execution and enforcement of its actions and or recommendations as per the investigations, the Inspectorate of Government in effect attracts challenging applications and constitutional petitions that seek for orders of certiorari, mandamus, prohibition, damages and interpretation of the law.

The IG defends such applications and petitions and also gives and responds to instructions obtained from the Attorney General’s Chambers. IG also drafts such responses and answers to the filed Court pleadings and defends, submits and appears in Courts of Law.

For the period under review, IG successfully concluded seven (7) cases and fourteen (14) cases are still on-going out of which two (2) are pending a ruling. For details of civil cases that were handled by IG in the reporting period, please see Appendix D of this report. The table, however, excludes cases where the IG due to lack of corporate status was substituted by the Attorney General.

2.5.1 Challenges faced by the IG in Civil Litigation

(i) The period under review was a court vacation and characterized by a criminal session.

(ii) Lack of corporate status has impacted IG performance as most litigants prefer suing the Attorney General in representative capacity.

(iii) Lack of the Leadership Code Tribunal stipulated under Article 235 A of the Constitution for the enforcement of the Leadership Code Act which has left some recommendations of the IG in lim-bo for fear of being challenged in court.

(iv) Continuous transfers of the judges and lack of quorum at an appeal level cause delays in conclu-sion of cases.

(v) Continuous adjournments by the presiding judicial officers for various reasons.

2.5.2 Recommendation

(i) Amend the law in order for the IG to attain corporate status.

(ii) Establish the Leadership Code Tribunal.

2.6 MONITORING AND INSPECTION OF GOVERNMENT PROJECTS

2.6.1 ENSURING TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN NUSAF II PROJECT

The Northern Uganda Social Action Fund II (NUSAF II) is a demand driven multi-sectoral project that was designed to be implemented under the Peace, Recovery and Development Plan (PRDP) funded through International Development Association credit.



The project provides a ring fenced budget to strengthen measures and ensure transparency, account-ability and anti-corruption in the project area, using the project as an entry to the development and implementation of improved systems for use by communities and local authorities.

The Inspectorate of Government was co-opted under the Transparency, Accountability and Anti-Cor-ruption (TAAC) Sub-component of NUSAF II and PRDP II to ensure efficiency of public expenditure un-der the funds.

2.6.2 NUSAF II Inspection and Monitoring

In the period under review, NUSAF II inspection reports from the districts of Bukwo, Kween, Katakwi, Gulu, Alebtong and Kole districts were issued and below are findings and recommendations;

(1) NUSAF Inspection in Bukwo and Kween districts

(i) It was established that all the sub-projects physically exist on the ground and implementation was ongoing. The target communities fully participated in the procurement process for their respective sub-projects. Communities were also involved in the supervision of the sub-projects. The sub-projects inspected received the funds and are using the money for the proposed activi-ties.

(ii) The sub-projects under Bukwo district did not present bank statements to verify receipt of the disbursed funds. However, most of the sub-projects had not paid out any funds as the projects were still at foundation level.

(iii) Bukwo and Kween NUSAF II Desk Officers do not have vehicles to facilitate supervision and mon-itoring of the sub-projects effectively. The poor state of the road network, especially during rainy season in the two districts greatly affects the implementation of NUSAF II.

(iv) Although Bukwo district had earlier been provided with a vehicle, it got involved in an accident in 2012 and requires Shs.42,424,168/= for the repair of the damaged body parts and engine. The vehicle was taken to the supplier/Cooper Motors (U) Ltd with the authority of the PS, OPM but Bukwo district is not in a position to raise enough funds to meet the cost of the repairs;

(v) Kween district is behind schedule in NUSAF II implementation. This is explained by the laborious process of splitting Kween district from Kapchorwa. However, the failure by the OPM to remit funds for training of the CMC, CPC and SAC members is rendering idle the 6th disbursement of Shs.260,083,483/= sent to the district.

Given the above findings, it was recommended that:

a) In accordance with paragraph 1.2 (a) and (c) of the MOU between OPM and the District Local Government, the Office of the Prime Minister should:

(i) Meet the cost of repair of the NUSAF II vehicle for Bukwo district because Bukwo does not have the capacity to raise funds of the magnitude required for the repairs;

(ii) Consider procuring a NUSAF II vehicle for Kween district to facilitate supervision and moni-toring of NUSAF II implementation.



b) The Office of the Prime Minister should urgently remit training funds for CMC, CPC and SAC to Kween district to enable utilization of the funds remitted under the 6th disbursement in order to benefit the intended communities.

c) The NUSAF II Desk Officer, Bukwo district should ensure that the respective sub-projects extract their bank statements in a timely manner.

(2) NUSAF II Inspection in Alebtong and Kole Districts

The inspection established that;

(i) All the sub-projects inspected were established in accordance with NUSAF II guidelines. The people who benefitted from them were needy and also the schools which benefitted from CIR Projects indeed lacked the teacher’s houses and the toilets for the pupils.

(ii) For all the twenty three (23) sub-projects inspected it was confirmed that they physically exist on the ground. This was manifested by the various members met, testimony given by the beneficiaries, sign posts and animals seen on the ground, and the classrooms and toilets constructed. However, piggery as a sub-project has registered the highest number of animal deaths.

(iii) Accountability of funds for the projects visited was above 95% and the record keeping system at the offices of Lira and Apac NUSAF II District Coordinators (NDC) and sub-projects was satisfactory.

(iv) NUSAF II activities for both Alebtong and Kole districts are still being managed in Lira and Apac districts respectively as mother districts. This hampers smooth coordination of activities on the ground and their inspection.

(v) In all CIR and HISP projects visited the beneficiaries are aware of the need to plant trees to check on environmental degradation, but due to a prolonged dry season, trees could not be planted, and those that had been planted dried up.

In view of the above findings, it was recommended that:

(i) Piggery as a sub-project should be considered for being phased out and replaced by cattle or goat rearing.

(ii) The Office of the Prime Minister should expedite the process of granting both Alebtong and Kole districts autonomy to enable them manage their NUSAF II activities independently from Lira and Apac districts.

(iii) The NDC and trainers of beneficiaries should continue to emphasize the importance of conserving the environment and ensure its implementation among the beneficiaries.



(3) NUSAF II Inspection in Katakwi district

Inspection established that:-

(i) All the funded sub-projects existed and implementation was ongoing. The sub-project members fully participated in the procurement processes for their respective sub-projects. However, some challenges were encountered in implementation;

(ii) The contract prices for eleven (11) construction projects exceeded the amounts approved by OPM;

(iii) Corrections to the ring beam at Akwamor Primary School had not been effected;

(iv) Pit latrines at eight (8) sub-projects sites had not been sunk and constructed;

(v) NUSAF II sign posts were not erected at three sub-project sites;

(vi) The former Head teacher of Odoot Primary School did not hand over the sub-project files to the new Head teacher of the school;

(vii) All sub-projects visited had submitted accountability for the funds disbursed. However, only fifteen (15) sub-project files had accountability summary sheets. In addition, the accountabilities on file for seven (7) sub-projects did not tally with the sum on the financial tracker;

(viii) The sub-project members fully participated in the procurement processes for their respective sub-projects.

Given the above findings, it was recommended that:-

(i) Corrections to the ring beam at Akwamor Primary School teachers’ houses are properly implement-ed;

(ii) Pit latrines are constructed at the eight schools at which works had stalled;

(iii) Sign posts are procured and erected for easy identification of all NUSAF II funded sub-projects;

(iv) Sub-project records including accountabilities are up to date and properly maintained. That the accountability information on a sub-project file tallies with the information on the financial tracker.

3.0 INTRODUCTION

3.1 The Ombudsman function of the Inspectorate of Government is derived from Article 225(1) (a) (c) and (e) of the Uganda Constitution which outlines the functions of the Inspectorate of Govern-ment as hereunder;

(a) To promote and foster strict adherence to the rule of law and principles of natural justice in administration.

(b) To eliminate and foster the elimination of corruption, abuse of authority and of public office.

(c) To promote fair, efficient and good governance in public offices.

(d) To investigate any act, omission, advice, decision or recommendation by a public officer or any other authority towhich this article applies, taken, made, given or done in exercise of administrative functions.

Section 8 of the Inspectorate of Government Act 2002 is a replica of the above provision.

The Inspectorate of Government fulfills the above functions and the Ombudsman function through investigation of maladministration and administrative injustice within public offices and recommends corrective actions.

The Inspectorate of Government fulfills these functions through investigation of maladministration and administrative injustice within public offices and recommending corrective actions.

IG mainly handles ombudsman complaints such as:

(i) Employment disputes e.g. irregular recruitments, unfair dismissals and victimization.

(ii) Non-payment or delayed payment of salary, salary arrears, leave allowances, pension, gratuity and terminal benefits and failure to access/deletion from the payroll.

(iii) Inheritance and administration of estates disputes.

(iv) Property disputes.

(v) Improper tendering procedures especially by both central and district local governments.

(vi) Irregularities in procurement procedures.

(vii) Abuse of office by public officials.

3CHAPTER:

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OMBUDSMAN FUNCTION



During the period under review, the institution mostly complained about was the Ministry of Public Service. Many complaints relating to deletion of names from payroll, non-payment of gratuity pension and salary arrears were successfully handled and the complainants were paid.

The Inspectorate had a total of 1,947 ombudsman complaints. 460 of these were new complaints re-ceived during the period while 1,487 were complaints brought forward from the previous period. Out of 460 complaints received, 21 complaints were found to lack merit. 117 complaints were processed and referred to other institutions, while 254 complaints were investigated and completed and 1,555 complaints were carried forward. Most of the Ombudsman complaints were related to nonpayment of salary, pension, gratuity and other benefits.

Table VI: Ombudsman complaints investigated and completed during the Period July – December 2013

Nature of Complaint Number %age

Mismanagement 70 8.5%

Non payment of salaries and other benefits 68 8.3%

Property Disputes 37 4.5%

Tenders & Contracts 25 3.0%

Delay of service delivery 32 3.9%

Victimization/oppression 18 2.2%

others 4 0.5%

Sub Total 254 30.9%

3.2 Challenges in implementation of Ombudsman Investigations

a) Reluctance, delays and/or refusal by some Government Institutions to respond to IG inquiries greatly slows down IG’s work. Institutions that are notorious for this are Uganda Police, Lands office, Uganda Land Commission, Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Ministry of Public Service, District Land Boards, Uganda Peoples Defence Forces and the Uganda Regis-tration Services Bureau.

b) Investigation of land related cases has also become increasingly costly as the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development is now charging fees for documents and retrieval of informa-tion.

3.3 Recommendations to Government

(i) Every government department should have a Liaison Officer for the IG for purposes of speeding up response to inquiries.

(ii) Action officers who ignore to implement IG recommendations, orders and directives for no good reason, should be summoned to answer before the relevant Parliamentary Committees.

(iii) Government should adequately fund its departments to enable speedy resolution of payment related complaints and avail adequate facilities like computers to ease data retrieval by investi-gators.



(iv) The Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development and Uganda Land Commission should consider availing documents required by IG investigation teams at no cost.

3.4 Future Plans

Continuous training of staff through formal training and attachment to other anti-corruption and om-budsman institutions such as the Danish and Dutch Ombudsman Institutions that have taken up the initiative to provide support to the IG in terms of training, sharing of ideas and exchange visits.

3.5 Policy and Systems Study

3.5.1 Background

The Constitution and the Inspectorate of Government Act, 2002, empower the Inspectorate of Govern-ment to promote fair, efficient and good governance in public offices towards the main goal of attaining zero tolerance to corruption. Given that strengthening of institutions is a key anti-corruption measure, the Inspectorate of Government carries out system studies and systemic investigations into operations, policies, systems, procedures and legislation of various Government Departments and Institutions with a view to identify loopholes that may be susceptible to corruption and make recommendations for re-medial measures. This is aimed at improving service delivery in Government Departments, Ministries, Government companies and Parastatals.

The Inspectorate of Government selects the institutions to be studied on the basis of information re-ceived through public complaints, media reports, audit reports, monitoring and evaluation reports and periodic surveys. In addition, institutions complained about most through the written public com-plaints to the IG are also considered when selecting the policy and system studies to be carried out.

It is imperative to note that policy and system studies cover a wider scope of inquisition and are thus typically expensive to conduct. Consequently, during the period under review, the Inspectorate of Government concentrated on four (4) major system studies.

3.5.2 A systems study into the alleged mismanagement and decline in immunization service delivery in Uganda

This particular policy and system study was initiated as a result of a complaint received by the office alleging vaccine stock-outs, shortage of immunization kits, logistics and lack of other supplies in the hospitals of the different districts of Uganda. Investigations and verifications were done in the sam-pled (33) districts in the Central, Northern, Eastern, Southern and Western regions of Uganda. A report detailing the findings and recommendations is under review.

3.5.3 A systems study into alleged mismanagement of Uganda Printing and Publishing Corporation (UPPC)

The Inspectorate of Government also initiated a system study into the management of Uganda Printing and Publishing Corporation (UPPC). The study was commissioned as a result of an inquiry that was con-ducted in regard to the recruitment of the Managing Director of the Corporation.



In the course of the inquiry, it was established that UPPC had many other management, financial, hu-man resources, administrative and procurement flaws that required systemic investigations. Various written complaints were also received by the office in relation to this matter. This study is on-going.

3.5.4 A systems study into the management of Mulago Hospital

The policy and system study was initiated as a result of numerous complaints received by the office in regard to the day-to-day management of affairs in the National Referral Hospital – Mulago. Investiga-tions have commenced and a preliminary report is being prepared to inform management on the next course of action in regard to this matter.

3.5.5 A systemic review of the procedures of appointing administrative staff at Makerere University

This systemic review was initiated as a result of a complaint received by the office from Graduate Sup-port staff of Makerere University who alleged favoritism, nepotism, sectarianism, lack of transparency and discrimination with regard to the methods of recruitment and promotions used by the University. A draft report is under review before issuance of the final report.

3.5.6 Challenges in carrying out Policy and Systems studies

During the period under review, a number of challenges which included; lack of sufficient human, fi-nancial and material resources were encountered and these inhibited the completion of the planned studies.

3.5.7 Future Plans

IG intends to complete the following on-going inquiries:

(i) A policy and system study into the management of Uganda Printing and Publishing Corporation (UPPC).

(ii) A policy and system study into the management of Mulago Hospital.

(iii) Initiate a policy and system study into management of UNRA Kampala station and other upcoun-try stations.

(iv) Initiate a policy and system study into the process of recruiting staff and students in selected government nursing and paramedical schools.

(v) Conduct dissemination workshops for the affected stakeholders so as to enable implementation of recommendations contained in the system study reports.



4.0 The Inspectorate’s Constitutional Mandate to enforce the Leadership Code of Conduct

Pursuant to Article 225(1) (d) and 234 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, 1995, Section 3 (1) of the Leadership Code Act, 2002 and S.8 (1) (d) of the Inspectorate of Government Act, 2002 the Inspectorate of Government is mandated to enforce the Leadership Code of Conduct.

The Leadership Code Act, 2002 provides for a minimum standard of behavior and conduct for leaders; it requires all specified leaders to declare their Incomes, Assets and Liabilities to the Inspector General of Government. The Code prohibits conduct that is likely to compromise the honesty, impartiality and integrity of leaders or conduct that leads to corruption in public affairs and it imposes penalties on leaders who breach the Code.

Section 37 of the Leadership Code Act, 2002 provides that the Inspectorate shall include in its Statutory Report to Parliament a report on its enforcement of the Code.

4.1 Activities carried out during the period July – December 2013

4.1.1 Management of leaders’ declarations of income, assets and liabilities forms

Section 3 of the Leadership Code Act, 2002 empowers the Inspectorate of Government to receive and examine declarations submitted by leaders. During the period under review, a total of 9,551 declara-tion forms submitted in March 2013 were examined, entered in the data base and acknowledgement slips issued to the respective leaders.

The IG has already identified the leaders who have defaulted in declaring their income, assets and lia-bilities for the period ending March 2013. Majority of leaders who have not declared their wealth are UPDF officers, Police, ESO, ISO, Makerere University, Kyambogo University and URA. The process of sending them reminders to comply with the law has been embarked on.

4.1.2 Verification of leaders’ declarations of Incomes, Assets and Liabilities and investigations into allegations of the breach of the Leadership Code:

During the period under review, income, assets and liabilities of fourteen (14) leaders were verified and a total of forty four (44) properties were physically inspected and sixty four (64) bank accounts inspected.

A total of twenty three (23) verifications and investigations were completed.

Outcome of verifications and investigations:

(i) In five (5) cases, the leaders gave satisfactory explanations for their income, assets and liabilities.

(ii) One (1) case, a matter with similar facts involving the same parties was before the courts of law.

4CHAPTER:

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LEADERSHIP CODE OF CONDUCT



(iii) One (1) case recommended the leader’s properties for valuation.

(iv) Three (3) cases the leaders were advised.

(v) Two (2) public officers were cautioned to take their declarations more seriously.

(vi) In eleven (11) cases no breach of the Code was established.

4.2 Constraints encountered in enforcing the Leadership Code of Conduct

(i) Lack of a Leadership Code Tribunal and the delayed amendment of the Leadership Code Act, 2002 is a significant challenge to the enforcement of the Leadership Code and contributed to the decline in adhering to the Code of Conduct by leaders.

(ii) Difficulties and delay in the verification of information in respect to the leaders’ income, assets and liabilities due to lack of a proper record keeping culture.

(iii) Delays in accessing information from government registries also delays the search process hence affecting timely completion of files.

4.3 Future Plans for the period July to December 2013

(i) Completion of thirty two (32) cases of investigations of breach of the Code and verification of leaders’ incomes, assets and liabilities.

(ii) Issue declarations of income, assets and liabilities forms to 1,500 leaders who are due to declare by the end of March 2014.

(iii) Receive and examine at least 95% of the submitted declarations of income, assets and liabilities by leaders.

4.4 Recommendations to Government

(i) There is urgent need for the amendment of the Leadership Code Act and the establishment of the Leadership Code Tribunal to enable effective enforcement of the Code. This will also en-courage leaders to comply with the Code.

(ii) There should be frequent updating of the records in the various Government registries to en-able accurate data/information retrieval.



5.0 INTRODUCTION

Under the Constitution, the Inspectorate of Government is mandated to sensitize and educate the pub-lic about the values of constitutionalism in general and the activities of the office in particular, through any media or any other means it considers appropriate. Hence the Inspectorate of Government Cor-porate and Development Plan (CADP) 2010-2014 recognizes the need to enhance the Inspectorate’s image and regional presence in all parts of the country. The aim is to deliver services to grass root citi-zenry and to formulate partnership and collaborative efforts with various sections of the public in order to fulfill the IG mandate of fighting corruption, abuse of office and administrative injustices. The public is, therefore, educated about their Constitutional right to access public services without having to pay bribes or any other extra costs and made aware of their civic duties and responsibilities to demand for accountability from their leaders, value for money and to report corrupt practices, mismanagement or abuse of public office to the Inspectorate of Government.

The following public awareness programmes and sensitization activities were carried out by IG during the period under review.

5.1 Public Awareness Programmes and sensitization

Four (4) workshops under NUSAF II were carried out in various districts under the theme “improving community livelihood through efficient NUSAF II implementation”. The purpose of these workshops was to educate and inform the various stakeholders about Government projects in terms of their goals and strategy of implementation so as to maximize value to intended beneficiaries.

The four workshops for Social Accountability Committee (SACs) members were conducted in the Kar-amoja and Teso sub-regions as detailed below:

(i) On 21/10/2013 a workshop was held at Karitas Catholic Hall in Kotido involving 217 participants from the districts of Kotido, Abim and Kaabong.

5.3 Board Room Sessions

As part of the activities to mark the International Anti-Corruption Day, the Inspectorate of Govern-ment conducted Boardroom sessions with various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs). The purpose of the sessions was to create awareness of the functions and activities of the IG. During the Boardroom sessions a number of issues related to corruption were discussed. The MDAs visited include; Ministry of Health, Ministry of Works and Transport, Office of the Auditor General, Ministry of Local Government, Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Ministry of Water and Environment, Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development and Ministry of Public Service.



In addition, sessions were also held with the Local Government officials of the districts that host IG regional offices.

5.4 Public Awareness through electronic media

A total of thirty eight (38) radio programmes and one (1) TV program were carried out under the fund-ing of DANIDA, NUSAF II and PRDP Projects. These programmes were aired on the following Radio Sta-tions across the Country: Voice of Hoima, Mega FM-Gulu, Open Gate FM-Mbale, Rupiny FM-Gulu, Kioga Veritas-Soroti, Arua one FM-Arua, Nenah FM- Moroto, Eastern Voice FM-Bugiri, KFM-Kampala, Capital FM-Kampala, Radio One-Kampala, Radio Simba-Kampala, Voice of Lango and NBS television.

Also a total of four hundred eighty (480) spot messages were aired on a number of radio stations cover-ing regions under NUSAF II. These spot messages were aimed at sensitizing the public in NUSAF II and PRDP areas on how to report corruption complaints.

5.5 Integrity Ambassadors’ clubs activities

A total of thirteen (13) Integrity Clubs were financially, materially and morally supported during the period under review as detailed below:

(i) On 24th August, 2013 students of Bishop Stuart University –Mbarara held a seminar at their cam-pus under the theme “corruption the evil destroying Africa”.

This activity aimed at monitoring the progress of the clubs over the years in order to determine their strengths and weaknesses as well as chal-lenges. The Integrity Clubs monitored were; Busitema University-Tororo, Uganda College of Com-merce-Tororo, Uganda Technical College-Elgon, Islamic University In Uganda (IUIU)-Mbale, YM-CA-Jinja, Jinja School of Nursing and Midwifery, Busoga University-Iganga and Hotel and Tourism Training Institute (HTTI)-Jinja.

5.6 Training/sensitization of Public Servants

This activity is dependent on invitations of IG from other institutions but a total of twelve (12) such programmes were carried out.

5.7 Performance challenges

During the period under review the IG faced a challenge of insufficient financial resources which ham-pered the completion of the public awareness planned activities. This is because the DANIDA support to the IG dwindled and NUSAF II funding was suspended.

5.8 Recommendations for policy consideration

(i) There is need to have a better strategy on preventive approach as opposed to reactive approach in the fight against corruption as has been clearly demonstrated in NUSAF II and PRDP II through the TAAC component. In the long run, this approach is cheaper and helps in reverting the decay-ing morals of our society.

(ii) In order to enhance youth participation against corruption there is need to increase funding for Integrity Clubs to spread further to secondary schools.



6.1 INTRODUCTION

The Inspectorate of Government is committed to strengthening and building capacity of its staff by organizing relevant training programs and study tours both at individual and group levels. IG further appreciates that the war against corruption and promotion of good governance requires cooperation, support and exchange of ideas with other relevant institutions both at the national and international levels. IG therefore, interacts with as many stakeholders as possible at both national and international levels. This is done by not only organizing meetings, workshops and conferences for selected stake-holders but by also attending and participating in those organized by other stakeholders. IG also inter-acts with other stakeholders through exchange of visits and study tours.

During the period under review, IG had various press interactions and shared different press releases and activity reports with the press and these were published by various media houses.

The IG also published newspaper supplements in New Vision and Daily Monitor on Independence Day on 9th October 2013 and Anti-Corruption Day on 9th December 2013, which coincided with the 25th Anniversary of the Inspectorate.

The IGG and the two deputies appeared on different Radio and TV talk-shows to talk about the activities of the office. Their interviews on Capital FM’s Desert Island programme were published by The Weekly Observer news paper.



6.4 WEBSITE MANAGEMENT

The IG continues to use its website to share information with the public. Most of the IG reports can now be accessed from the website. One has to just log onto www.igg.go.ug.

6.5 PUBLIC RELATIONS

The IG developed a new logo which was launched on 9th December 2013. The logo replaced the Court of Arms on all official documents of the IG. The IG also participated in developing the East African Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (EAAACA) Public Awareness and Communication Strategy.

6.6 INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION

The IG hosted the East African Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (EAAACA), Executive meeting which was chaired by the IGG and comprised delegates from Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya and Tanzania. The IG also hosted a three-person delegation from the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Malawi. The objective of their visit was to study the existing legal framework for fighting corruption, conducting in-vestigations and prosecution of corruption cases as well as the operations of the other anti-corruption agencies.

During the same period, a team of students from Drake University in the United States visited the IG to acquaint themselves with the IG’s role in the fight against corruption.



7.1 INTRODUCTION

Despite increased funding from Government and continued support from Development Partners to strengthen the institution, the IG continues to face several external challenges as well as operational problems, most of which arise from inadequate resources. This chapter highlights some of the challeng-es and constraints faced by the IG. It also provides recommendations and outlines the future plans of IG.

7.2 CHALLENGES AND CONSTRAINTS FACED BY THE IG IN ACHIEVING STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

7.2.1 Inadequate Operational funds:

The annual allocation of funds to the Inspectorate of Government is not sufficient to meet the opera-tional requirements of the Directorates and the Regional Offices. At a decentralized level, each regional office is allocated a maximum of Shs.6million per month to cater for among others travel, allowances for the investigators, payment of internet services, fuel, stationery, consumables. Given the huge number of cases recorded (over 100 per month, per regional office) and the increasing cost of items, this alloca-tion is not sufficient for effective operations. For the Regional office to effectively function, a minimum of Shs.10million is recommended.

7.2.2 Inadequate staffing:

Though the entire Inspectorate has inadequate staff at all levels, the problem is more pronounced at Regional Offices. Currently, each Regional Office serves at least five to ten districts and yet each has an average of four technical officers to carry out investigations of corruption, ombudsman complaints, in-spection of development projects, follow-up on the implementation of IG recommendations and carry out surveillance, search and make arrests. Over the Medium-Term, the IG intends to raise the number of technical officers to five per Regional Office.

7.2.3 High costs of renting office premises

The IG is currently renting premises for both the Headquarters and Regional Offices. The IG incurs a cost of Shs.1.4 billion annually for rent for both Headquarters and Regional Offices. This cost is a significant percentage of the IG recurrent budget. In the FY 2013/14, IG allocated 1.5 billion for design of the Head-quarters and Shs.52 billion is required for construction of the head office building. The money for the office design is insufficient (Shs.4.2b/= is required) while the funds for construction are not allocated.

7.2.4 Court delays

The Appeals, constitutional petitions/references and Applications filed in both Constitutional and Su-preme Court take long. Due to these delays, the IG is only able to conclude about sixty (60) prosecu-tions per year.

7CHAPTER: GENERAL CONSTRAINTS, CHALLENGES, FUTURE PLANS AND RECOMMENDATIONS



7.2.5 Negative attitude towards investigations

The entities being investigated and partner institutions are not providing IG with adequate support during investigations and prosecutions. Most of these institutions take long to provide information re-quested for and supportive documents. This has resulted in longer time being taken to investigate and prosecute cases. Such institutions include but not limited to; Office of Registrar General of Companies, Uganda Land Commission, Ministry of Defence, Lands Office, Solicitor General’s Office, Administrator General’s Office, Ministry of Education and Sports, Ministry of Public Service, UNEB and some Universi-ties.

Also a section of the population who are beneficiaries of corruption proceeds view the IG as thwarting their financial advancement. Such people have adopted the “if you cannot beat them, join them” men-tality. This perception can only be corrected through vigorous public awareness and sensitization cam-paigns conducted by the IG. The challenge is how to fund these campaigns taking into consideration the inadequate funds released to the institution.

There is also a lot of collusion and connivance among district officials. The Audit departments have not been spared as they won’t detect or report the corrupt and this is only done when the officials disagree during the sharing of the proceeds.

7.2.6 Resistance to implement IG recommendations

The IG investigates and produces reports with recommendations for the affected entities to take appro-priate action. However, some institutions have acted to the contrary or totally ignored implementing IG recommendations.

7.2.7 Inadequate capacity to carry out forensic and complex Investigations

The face of corruption is ever changing in Uganda. Most corrupt public officials now use sophisticated approach to indulge in corruption, fraud and other malpractices. With this changing approach there is need for continuous training and better equipment for the IG investigative and prosecution staff to be more effective. The challenge is how this can be achieved, given the problem of inadequate funding.

7.2.8 Poor documentation and Record Keeping in Government Institutions

Most government entities lack computerized Management Information System. Records are stored in forms which are not easy to access, retrieve and disseminate to the end users. Because of the poor storage and management of records, conclusion of investigations, prosecutions and verification of the leaders’ declarations cannot be done expeditiously.

7.2.9 Loopholes in the existing Legal Framework

Loopholes in the existing Legal Framework such as the absence of a Leadership Code Tribunal as pre-scribed under Chapter 14, article 235A of the Constitution and the absence of regulations to establish rules of procedure under the IG Act, and the Leadership Code Act 2002, affect the enforcement of IG recommendations against leaders who are found in breach of the Leadership Code of Conduct.



7.3 FUTURE PLANS

7.3.1 Strengthen the capacity of the Regional Offices

The Inspectorate of Government will continue with the strategy of strengthening its Regional Offices by recruiting additional staff, procuring vehicles, office equipment and increasing allocation of funds for operational expenses. The IG is targeting to have a minimum of five (5) technical officers, two (2) func-tional office vehicles and operational funds of at least Shs.10 million per Regional Office every month. With this intervention, service delivery at decentralized level is expected to systematically improve.

7.3.2 Strengthen the capacity to effectively investigate and prosecute cases

Capacity building is a continuous process that cannot be achieved through one time intervention. IG will, therefore, maintain close collaboration with Government, development partners, anti-corruption agencies, ombudsman associations and other institutions to provide tailor made training and exposure visits for its team of investigators and prosecutors. This intervention will focus on enhancing the capac-ity of the IG staff to efficiently and effectively investigate and prosecute cases.

7.3.3 Increased Monitoring of Development Programmes.

The Inspectorate of Government has established a Division for Project Monitoring. The Division has been established in response to increasing demand by Government and Development Partners to have the IG directly involved in the monitoring and supervision of the Implementation of development proj-ects. Currently, programmes such as PRDP, UPPETT, and USMID have entered in partnership with IG to undertake monitoring and supervision. The Division’s primary objective will be to follow-up and make progressive reports, recommend and enforce corrective actions for performance improvement.

7.3.4 Promoting systematic Investigations and policy studies

The Inspectorate of Government receives many individual complaints concerning the same institutions. For example many complaints have been registered against the Ministry of Public Service regarding salary/pension payment and flaws in the procurement and recruitment processes by MDAs. While re-sponding to these complaints, the IG has been sanctioning individual investigations. The IG is now em-phasizing systematic investigations and policy studies as opposed to handling individual complaints.

7.3.5 Promoting Strategic Partnership with other Anti-Corruption Agencies and Oversight Institutions

The fight against corruption cannot be achieved by the Inspectorate of Government alone but through effective collaboration and networking with other anti-corruption agencies and oversight institutions. IG, therefore, intends to form a new collaboration fora which in future will strengthen the existing ones.

7.4 RECOMMENDATIONS

In the above section, the IG identified a number of constraints which are limiting its capacity to effec-tively fight corruption in public offices and promote the rule of law. In order to overcome the above stated constraints, the following recommendations are hereby submitted to Parliament and the Exec-utive.



7.4.1 Expedite the establishment of Leadership Code Tribunal and Amendment of the IG Act to grant the IG Corporate status

Without the Leadership Code Tribunal, the IG cannot effectively implement its mandate of enforcing the Leadership Code of Conduct. Though the leaders are declaring their incomes, assets and liabilities as required by law, the absence of the Tribunal has made it difficult for IG to take appropriate actions against leaders who either fail to declare, under declare or cannot provide adequate accountability for their wealth. The IG therefore requests the Executive and Parliament to expedite the process of estab-lishing the Leadership Code Tribunal and amend the IG Act 2002 to grant IG corporate status.

7.4.2 Discuss IG Reports and provide feedback for improved performance

Article 231(5) of the Constitution provides for Parliament to debate IG Reports and make recommen-dations on the issues raised. However, the IG has not received any feedback from Parliament and the Executive on the reports issued. The IG therefore urges Parliament to debate the reports and provide appropriate feedback for improved performance.

7.4.3 Increase funding to the Inspectorate of Government

Allocation of funds to the Inspectorate of Government for Financial Year 2014/15 was maintained at the same level of the previous Financial Year 2013/14. Given that these resources were not sufficient to en-able Inspectorate of Government effectively carry out its mandate, IG therefore requests for additional funding of at least Shs.4billion to effectively carry out its mandate of eliminating corruption.

7.4.4 Construction of the IG Head Office

Over the last Financial Years, the Inspectorate of Government has been soliciting for funding for con-struction of its Head Office from both Government and Development Partners. However despite all these undertakings, IG has not identified any funding source. The IG therefore request Government to provide funding for construction of its Head Office.

7.4.5 Strengthen the Urban Planning Function

This sector is faced with majorly two challenges; lack of structural Plans for most of the Urban Centres and poor enforcement of development in planned areas. Given the above challenges, the Inspectorate of Government is not able to timely trace and verify assets declared by Leaders. The Inspectorate of Government, therefore, recommends to Government to prioritize Physical Planning and enforce imple-mentation of the existing plans.

7.4.6 Improvement of record management

Government through its ministries, departments and agencies must cultivate a culture of record keep-ing and maintenance and provide its MDAs with necessary tools to ensure this is done.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND GRAPHICAL PRESENTATION OF THE IG

ACTIVITIES FOR THE PERIOD JULY – DECEMBER 2013

APPENDIX

B



During the period July – December 2013, the Inspectorate of Government had a workload of 6,962 inves-tigations which is 10% more than what it was during the previous period (January – June 2013). A total of 5,382 complaints were brought forward from the previous period and 1,513 were new complaints (including 53 cases that were initiated as a result of reviewing audit reports from the Auditor General). Also during the period, the IG received a total of 181 through SMS Reporting System which was introduced in June 2013. The figure below illustrates how the workload was handled during the reporting period.

Anonymous16%

The chart above illustrates that a small percentage (8%) of the complaints were received from women. The majority of the complaints (57%, were received from men and those that came from groups of individuals were 19%. 16% of the complainants did not disclose their identities and were mostly those complaints that were received through the SMS Reporting System.

Figure 5: Comparison of Investigations for the Periods January – June 2013 and July – December 2013

The diagram above shows that the total number of complaints which were investigated and completed in-creased from 712 complaints during the period January – June 2013 to 822 for the period July – December 2013. The increase in the number of cases concluded may be attributed to the increase of technical staff that were recruited during the last reporting period. The complaints that were processed and referred to other institutions reduced from 183 to 144. However, the number of complaints carried forward increased from 5,382 to 5,952 as a result of increased number of complaints that were received during the period especially through the SMS reporting system.



Figure 6:Comparison of the new complaints received and those that were investigated during the period July – December 2013

The graph above shows that the highest number of complaints was received in the month of July 2013 (373 complaints). This was due to the introduction of SMS Reporting System that was launched in June 2013. The highest number of complaints investigated & completed (208 complaints) was in the month of November 2013. The number of complaints investigated and completed is much lower than the complaints received during the period due to the backlog of cases. However, with adoption of the new case management system and training of staff, the speed of investigation completion is expected to improve.

As seen from the above table, the trend of complaints has not followed a particular pattern. The lowest num-ber of complaints were registered in 2006 (1562) but since then there has been an upward trend of com-plaints registered especially those that are registered at Regional Offices.

The table above shows that, the Inspectorate of Government investigates and completes on average 1000 – 2000 complaints each year. The number of complaints investigated and completed were notably low in 2009 (831) due to the fact that during that time the institution did not have a substantive IGG, but since then the investigations completed have gradually been increasing despite the complex nature of complaints handled.

The table above shows that most of the complaints (24.9%) originate from Kampala and this has been the case even for the previous reporting periods. This is mainly attributed to its central location and the fact that most of the government departments which the public complain about are located in Kampala. Other notable districts with high number of complaints during this reporting period are Arua, Lira, Gulu and Mbarara mainly because of easy accessibility as these districts host Regional Inspectorate offices.
