President Yoweri Museveni has assented to the Leadership Code (Amendment) Act that requires all public officers to declare their assets, incomes, and liabilities to the Inspector General of Government.
The New Law follows the realization that corruption and unjust enrichment were prevalent among public officers who do not declare their assets.
It also makes it compulsory for all public officers to declare their assets, incomes, liabilities to the @IGGUganda within three months of starting work in public service. Thereafter, they are required to make a declaration every five years.
