The opposition Uganda People’s Congress is concerned about the rampant corruption in the country which it says is a big threat to Uganda’s Vision 20230.
UPC’s remarks come after Uganda over the weekend (9th December), joined the rest of the world to commemorate the International Anti-corruption Day.
This year’s observance coincides with a new parliamentary investigation by the Trade Committee into the alleged involvement of 30 MPs in the embezzlement of Shs164 billion meant for cooperative compensation.
