President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has appointed Justice Aisha Naluzze Batala as the new Inspector General of Government (IGG), replacing Beti Olive Namisango Kamya, whose term ended in July 2025.
The appointment was announced on Tuesday by the Presidential Deputy Press Secretary, Faruk Kirunda.
“The President, in exercise of his constitutional powers, has appointed Hon. Justice Aisha Naluzze Batala as the new Inspector General of Government (IGG), replacing Hon. Beti Olive Namisango Kamya,” Kirunda said in a statement.
He added that the Deputy IGGs, Dr. Patricia Achan Okiria and Mrs. Anne Twinomugisha Muhairwe, have been retained in their positions. The names of the appointees have been forwarded to Parliament for vetting.
The Inspectorate of Government is Uganda’s principal anti-corruption agency, charged with investigating cases of abuse of office, promoting transparency in public institutions, and enforcing the Leadership Code Act.
Beti Kamya, who previously served as Minister for Kampala and Member of Parliament for Rubaga North, was appointed IGG in 2021.
During her tenure, she focused on strengthening asset declaration compliance and raising public awareness on corruption prevention.
However, President Museveni opted not to renew her contract after its expiry in July.
The new appointments will take effect upon parliamentary approval.
