Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Buhweju District Member of Parliament Francis Mwijukye has said 80 per cent of leaders in Uganda are products of corruption, lamenting that the evil should be eliminated in Uganda\u2019s governance.<\/p>\n

\u201c80 per cent of our leaders are in leadership because of corruption for instance in civil service where before one gives in money before sitting an interview and bribery of voters,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cCorruption is everywhere. The vice has gone into churches. Leaders get those positions because they have put in something and this shakes Uganda\u2019s way of governance.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the lawmaker, the corrupt should be looked at as Uganda\u2019s biggest enemy.<\/p>\n

On July 3, Mwijukye also said that democratically clear electoral reforms will only pass and work depending on the power and courage local citizens to end corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is hard for the president to pass these electoral reforms because he thinks they are made to remove him from power. We need to go into transition,\u201d he observed while speaking at the Ankole Regional stakeholders consultations on constitutional and political reforms at Oxford Inn, Mbarara City.<\/p>\n

South Western Uganda\u2019s regional election officer Robert Beine also urged electoral reforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome issues are beyond us. There is room for improvement through continuous voter education,\u201d he remarked during the same event.<\/p>\n

Western Uganda Civil Society Forum Chief Coordinator Edinah Niwasiima called for voter empowerment to end electoral irregularities.<\/p>\n

But opposition National Unity Platform (NUP) representative at the National Consultation Program, Jolly Mugisha, said: \u201cUganda does not lack laws. The only problem is bad governance. There is open space for political parties to rescue this country but the space is clogged by bad governance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apollo Kakongi, the Executive Director Western Ankole Civil Society Forum told the gathering that reforms are very much needed to address electoral malpractices.<\/p>\n
