Inspector General of Government (IGG) Justice Aisha Batala Naluzze has confirmed receiving a petition from a group of lawyers and activists seeking a comprehensive investigation into Speaker Anita Annet Among over alleged breaches of the Leadership Code Act.
Naluzze said the Inspectorate has since launched investigations and will make its findings public upon completion. She also urged members of the public to continue reporting suspected cases of opulence and misconduct involving public officials.
On Wednesday, the group formally petitioned the IGG, calling for a probe into the outgoing Speaker over alleged failure to comply with provisions of the Leadership Code Act.
The petitioners accuse Among of failing to declare, or under-declaring, her wealth, assets and liabilities as required by law.
“We accordingly lodge this complaint regarding failure to declare and/or under-declaration of wealth by Among, and hereby request you, as provided for under Section 22 of the Leadership Code Act, to furnish us with her declaration, if any,” the petition reads in part.
Kato Tumusiime, one of the petitioners, said the group voluntarily lodged the complaint after forming the view that Among may have failed to fully declare her assets.
