President Appoints New Anti-Corruption Chief.

President Yoweri Museveni has named a new leader for Uganda's anti-corruption body, the Inspectorate of Government (IGG).

Justice Aisha Naluzze Batala has been chosen as the new Inspector General of Government. She replaces the former IGG, Hon. Beti Olive Namisango Kamya.

Justice Batala is a High Court Judge who previously worked as a prosecutor for many years at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).

In the same change, the two Deputy IGGs, Dr. Patricia Achan Okiria and Mrs. Anne Twinomugisha Muhairwe, will keep their jobs.

The President has now sent the names of all three appointees to the Parliament of Uganda. The Parliament must approve the appointments before the new IGG and her deputies can officially start their work.
