Your leadership is central to promoting integrity, transparency and accountability in the public service,\u201d Dr. Okiria said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Deputy IGG further instructed local government bosses to provide full support to the special staff (IG-ODS Focal Persons) who will help officers complete their declarations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure effectiveness, she specifically called for the provision of computers, reliable internet, and dedicated workspaces for these focal persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2026 declaration will require all Ugandan government employees to declare their income, assets, and liabilities using the IG-ODS system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Inspectorate has officially launched preparations for the mandatory online declaration exercise scheduled for April 2026, urging all public officers to cooperate fully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KAMPALA, UGANDA &#8211; The office of the Inspector General of Government (IGG) has instructed all local government
