Corruption & Abuse of Office Single source Uganda (national) Jul 2026 (day not reported) Severity: 1/5

Speaking at a public dialogue organised by the Uganda Law Society, Uganda Institution of Professional Engineers president Mwesiga Peterson said the body supports the fight against corruption but objected to what it called arbitrary, publicised arrests of district engineers, according to URN. He called for technically competent investigations and due process, and urged government to recruit and equip more engineers in local governments.

A national event, not tied to one district.
