Summary:

Uganda's political leadership has identified itself with the fight against corruption. It has strengthened the investigative machinery of government as well as the judicial system; and the press have been free to inform the public about wrong doing. Against this background a seminar was convened by the Inspector General of Government in 1994, for representatives of the integrity system in the country. This seminar led to workshops in 1995 and 1997 during which an action plan was agreed. The essays in this volume are selected contributions to the seminar and workshops - ranging from the critical voices of academics and journalists, to the problems ofinvestigators, and to reflections on the ethics of accountability, transparency and the civil obligations of citizens.
