The Office of the Inspector General of Government (IGG) in Uganda was established in 1986. The Inspectorate of Government is mandated to fight corruption by the national Constitution of 1995 and the Inspectorate of Government Act 2002.
The Inspectorate of Government is aware that combating corruption is not an end in itself but rather, it is instrumental to the broader goals of more effective, fair and efficient government. It therefore plays a critical role in partnership with various Government agencies and Non Governmental Organizations to promote the rule of law, and to inculcate ethics and public service values among public officials to ensure that public authority is used for the public good rather than for private gain.
