Vice President Rt. Hon. Jessica Alupo has directed State Ministers for Local Government Balaam Barugahara Ateenyi and Justine Nameere to carry out their duties with accountability, transparency and strict adherence to the law as the government intensifies its campaign against corruption.
Alupo made the remarks at Imperial Royale Hotel in Kampala during a stakeholders’ engagement on the implementation of President Yoweri Museveni’s directives to expose and eliminate corruption.
The meeting, convened by Minister Balaam Barugahara, brought together Local Government leaders to discuss ways of strengthening accountability, transparency and service delivery.
The Vice President specifically directed the Office of the Attorney General to provide legal support to the two ministers whenever enforcement actions are undertaken.
Alupo said legal guidance would help ensure that arrests and other actions taken during the anti-corruption campaign are lawful and protect the government from unnecessary legal challenges.
