Mr. Museveni talked about the how the IGG and it’s office has failed to handle the corrupt in these big offices as he also added that the country has corrupt officials but he believes these people should not really be just put away because these people can also help the country in some way.
He also adds the government has got a lot of use for these people but they should also not use that as an advantage to exploit the country and that’s why the offices in charge of punishing these people should really act as soon as they get the evidence.
