President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has called upon Ministers to stay clear of corruption as this will be the only way Uganda will achieve its historic mission of socio-economic transformation.
Museveni made the remarks on Monday while opening a 10-day Cabinet induction retreat at the National Leadership Institute Kyankwanzi, attended by newly appointed ministers and senior government officials.
He warned that since 1986, certain elements had attempted to infiltrate government institutions for personal gain, including businessmen seeking favors, careerists, criminals and individuals using public offices to enrich themselves and their families.
Museveni stressed that such tendencies undermine national transformation and called on ministers to uphold integrity, discipline and patriotism in public service.
Describing Kyankwanzi as “a place of sacrifice,” Museveni reminded leaders that the National Resistance Movement was built on selflessness and service to the people.
The President warned against ideological disorientation among leaders, saying public service should be guided by political education and a clear understanding of the purpose of leadership rather than personal ambition.
