We need to face the issues of waste, corruption and abuse in education need to be faced squarely if we are to gain from this sector. It is a very critical sector and if we let Corruption thrive here, we shall lose this fight. - @actionaiduganda ED's @xmusema
Journalists should not be attacked for doing their job. Whenever assaulted, swift, public, transparent investigations must follow to ensure justice is served and to restore public trust. Those who violate press freedom must be held to account. #JournalismIsNotACrime
This morning, @Accu_Ug and @actionaiduganda are holding the Second Education Sector Anti Corruption Working Group dialogue. We are pleased to be joined by stakeholders from Government, Citizenry and Private Sector.
Apart from the banking sector where we have taken a hardline stance, we are taking an approach to educate first for the rest of the other sectors. @ThefiaU ED @SydneyAsubo#AMLCFT4CivicSpace
The Global Financial Integrity (2017) report notes that Uganda annually loses approximately USD 1 billion to corruption including elicit flows. Between 2006 and 2015, Uganda lost USD 10.7 billion to tax evasion from imports and exports alone.

Uganda has in the past 3yrs counted losses to a tune of sh1.7Tn(by Dec 2020) on the account of Trade war with Kenya, which is risking the livelihoods of up to 100,000 farmers especially in diary, poultry and sugarcane sub sectors. Will dragging Kenya to court solve this impasse?
Is there over-regulation of civil society in Uganda? I doubt, the provisions of the law are not fully utilised. If all the laws were applied then maybe that would be a conversation to hold - @ThefiaU's @SydneyAsubo#AMLCFT4CivicSpace@NCHRD_UG
