When the NRM Government came into power in 1986, it came with an agenda of fighting corruption ranking it No.7/10 “Elimination of corruption and misuse of power”.

In July 2009, H.E President Museveni assented to an Anti-corruption Act of 2009 intending to provide for the effectual prevention of corruption in both the public and the private sector in Uganda. However, despite these efforts, corruption still remains a major issue in the country.

MASUUMI JUMA: President Museveni Shouldn’t Fight Alone The War Against Corruption, It Is Every Citizen’s Role

Corruption is a problem that requires collective action to combat. While President Museveni plays a crucial role in leading the charge against corruption, it is important for every citizen to also take responsibility and play their part in fighting this pervasive issue. Each individual has a role to play in promoting transparency, accountability, and integrity in their daily lives and interactions.

Effect on Me:

As a citizen of Uganda, the fight against corruption directly impacts me.

Effect on the World:

The fight against corruption in Uganda has broader implications for the global community. Corruption can facilitate transnational crime, hinder development efforts, and undermine democratic governance. By supporting anti-corruption initiatives in Uganda, the international community can help promote stability, accountability, and transparency on a global scale.

Conclusion:

President Museveni’s efforts to combat corruption in Uganda are commendable, but it is essential for every citizen to actively participate in the fight against this pervasive issue. By working together, we can create a more just, transparent, and equitable society for all.
