The Inspectorate of Government (IG) has asked Members of Parliament to declare their wealth

The Inspectorate of Government (IG) has asked Members of Parliament among other leaders who were not re-elected to declare their wealth even as they exit their offices.

The IG has launched the module for exit declaration which enables leaders who are ceasing to serve as public officers to declare their incomes, assets, and liabilities within six months from the end of their service period to comply with the leadership code act.

The call was made by Mariam Wangadya, the Second Deputy IGG alongside George Bamugemereire Deputy IGG  while meeting the Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga.

The IG has also decried the slow pace of submissions of wealth declaration by leaders.

According to Wandadya, as of 10th March 2021 only 1,567 leaders of the 30,000 expected had successfully submitted their declaration of wealth and yet they are expected to submit the declarations after every six months.
