The Inspectorate of Government says it is ready to clarify its recommendations as Parliament reviews recruitment irregularities identified in an audit that flagged 182 staff members.
The Inspectorate of Government (IGG) has pledged continued support to Parliament as the institution moves to address irregularities identified in a human resource audit, including concerns about recruitment procedures and staff qualifications.
The Inspectorate, which recommended a comprehensive review of staff personnel files and four director-level positions under the Office of the Clerk, says it is ready to provide additional information and clarification to help Parliament implement its recommendations.
The development follows findings that 182 staff members were irregularly recruited, raising questions about recruitment procedures at Parliament.
In a 13-page report dated August 2026 and addressed to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the IGG outlined findings from investigations prompted by complaints about recruitment in the legislative institution.
The report found that some staff members lacked the qualifications required for their positions, while outdated job descriptions may have undermined proper recruitment procedures.
The findings have prompted Parliament to review its human resource systems, a move welcomed by the Inspectorate.
“We are happy with the impact of our findings and that they are being used to clean up the institution,” IGG official Munira Ali said.
Ali said Parliament could seek further guidance where questions arise during implementation of the recommendations.
“Where they find problems, they can seek more clarification and details beyond what is contained in the report,” she said.
The review is expected to help Parliament identify gaps in recruitment procedures, verify staff qualifications and address the irregularities highlighted by the investigation.
The findings have also raised questions about possible legal consequences for individuals whose recruitment may have involved unlawful conduct.
Lawyer Tony Galandi said people who secured employment using forged academic documents or obtained positions through unlawful means could face criminal charges, depending on the available evidence and applicable law.
Any legal consequences would depend on the circumstances of each case, including whether investigators establish evidence of forgery, fraud or other offences under Ugandan law. The audit findings alone do not establish that any individual committed a criminal offence.
As Parliament undertakes the review, the Inspectorate has reaffirmed its readiness to provide further information to support implementation of the recommendations and strengthen the institution’s human resource management systems.
