IG Orders 33 People To Clear UGX 1.6 Bn In Fines Or Face New Prosecution

The Inspectorate of Government (IG), has ordered 33 individuals, mainly former government officials to clear fines placed on them amounting to UGX 1,689,037,522 billion, or face new prosecution trial process.

In a notice issued on November 12th, the IG directed the individuals to present proof of payment of the outstanding amounts in person to the IG by 8th January, 2027, to facilitate the reconciliation and verification of their outstanding balances in the IG’s record.

“You are informed that failure to settle the outstanding amounts on or before 8th January, 2027, will compel the IG to institute further enforcement measures, including the commencement of prosecution proceedings” the statement read.

The fines stem from earlier corruption cases in which the accused pleaded guilty in exchange for lighter sentences and agreed to refund misappropriated public funds or pay court fines.

However, following the agreements, the 33 individuals defaulted on their payment schedules, prompting the Inspectorate to enforce compliance as part of its broader asset-recovery push.
