Ugandan public officials have been urged to prepare for the annual declaration of their income, assets and liabilities ahead of the upcoming exercise scheduled for April 2026.
According to a communication shared by the Government of Uganda on X, the Inspector General of Government, Aisha Naluzze Batala, announced that all public officers will be required to declare their income, assets and liabilities between 1st and 30th April 2026.
The declaration exercise is part of the government’s efforts to promote transparency and accountability in public service. Under Uganda’s leadership code framework, public officials are legally required to disclose their financial status periodically to help detect illicit enrichment and conflicts of interest while in office.
Justice Naluzze Batala cautioned that officials who fail to submit their declarations within the stipulated period risk facing penalties as provided for under the law. The requirement applies broadly to public servants across government ministries, departments, agencies and other public institutions.
The Inspectorate of Government uses the declarations as a tool to monitor the financial conduct of leaders and ensure that wealth accumulated by public officials corresponds with their legitimate earnings. Such measures are intended to strengthen integrity within public institutions and reinforce public trust in government.
