Anti-corruption officials have announced that they have now opted for lifestyle audit to catch thieves.
Speaking to the press at the Uganda Media Centre on Monday, IGG Betty Kamya said that many corruption suspects do not get apprehended due to lack of evidence.
Kamya said: “The face of corruption is that lifestyle which you can not account for. That car which you can not afford, that mansion which your salary can not afford, that is the lifestyle that people should be suspicious about.”
The State House Anti-Corruption Unit boss Col Edith Nakalema said that when corruption is eliminated, the country will have a budget that all of us will enjoy
The only obstacle that is hindering our development in this country is corruption,” she said.
“The fight against corruption has almost become a song, with some asking themselves where there is political will to fight it.”
Despite government’s efforts to eradicate the vice, public funds continue to be swindled.
According to Betty Kamya, Uganda loses about shs 10 trillion annually due to corruption.
