The Inspectorate of Government (IG) has reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the rule of law, promoting accountability and combating corruption as key pillars of good governance.
The commitment was reiterated on Thursday during the launch of the Uganda Law Society’s State of the Rule of Law Report for the first and second quarters of 2026, held at the Uganda Law Society House in Kampala under the theme, “Resist Lawlessness.”
Representing the Inspector General of Government, Lady Justice Naluzze Aisha Batala, the Director of Legal Affairs, Ms Hilda Talibba, said the IG’s core mandate is to promote good governance and ensure strict adherence to the rule of law and principles of natural justice.
Ms Talibba said the Directorate of Legal Affairs plays a critical role in executing the mandate through litigation and prosecution in courts, as well as the recovery of public assets.
She said recovering public resources and prosecuting abuse of office are important interventions through which the IG promotes its values of integrity, professionalism and impartiality while contributing to justice for Ugandans.
Also attending the launch, Principal Inspectorate Officer Angella Tusiime called for collective vigilance in resisting lawlessness and strengthening public accountability.
Ms Tusiime said fighting corruption requires the participation of citizens and institutions to ensure public bodies serve Ugandans fairly and transparently.
“Resisting lawlessness requires collective vigilance,” she said, while emphasising teamwork and citizen engagement in building a just and corruption-free Uganda.
Uganda Law Society Vice President Anthony Asiimwe called on institutions and citizens to speak out against impunity, saying the legal profession should not remain silent in the face of lawlessness.
The society’s chief executive officer, Christine Adeti, said the report provides an evidence-based framework for informed public dialogue on the state of the rule of law.
The IG said it will continue working with justice-sector partners to enforce the law, protect public resources and strengthen the rule of law.
