President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has appointed his senior advisor anti-corruption, Col Edith Nakalema as the head of the newly created State House Investors Protectorate Unit.
The development comes days after Museveni promised to set up another unit that will fight corruption in the country.
In his labour day speech Museveni said,
“I am using this Labour Day to tell everybody that we are going to have a big fight. I am going to set up another small unit in my office where the investors can ring directly if anybody asks them for a bribe or delays decisions.” Said Museveni
The new unit joins a considerably long list of constitutional bodies like the Inspectorate of Government (IG), Auditor General, Parliament, Judiciary and police in the fight against corruption.
There have been at least two known parallel organs located inside State House for the same purpose: The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (Shacu) with its unlimited reach, together with the Health Monitoring Unit which is supposed to keep tabs on public health service delivery.
