Part of the problem is the inadequate funding. I also want the fight against corruption to be taken to grass root levels by creating awareness because the rich quickly go out and deceive people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The Chairperson of LCT Dr Roselyn Karugonjo Segawa said 26 cases were filed before the tribunal this year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So far we have received a total of 26 cases, 18 of which were on non-declaration, three on abuse of public property, four on failure to declare certain assets, and one on use of public funds contrary to existing instructions,&#8221; she said, adding that they have all been disposed of.<\/p>\n<p>14 cases have been disposed of through mediation and formal hearings, two cases have been withdrawn, and 10 are pending determination.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Tribunal has therefore made progress towards fighting corruption by holding errant public leaders and offices accountable,&#8221; Dr Karugonjo said.<\/p>\n<p>She also identified the lack of operational autonomy for the LCT as one of the challenges.<\/p>\n<p>However, Minister pledged to work with the government and relevant offices to ensure that the challenges are addressed appropriately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
