The Inspectorate of Government (IGG) has arrested seven officials attached to the Parliament of Uganda over alleged corruption-related offences.

The officials are expected to appear before the Anti-Corruption Court following their arrest as investigations by the Inspectorate continue.

Those named by the IGG include Director of Communications Chris Obore, Director of Human Resource Daniel Adilo, Executive Secretary in the Office of the Speaker Leonard Okema, Principal Research Officer Rajab Kaaya Ssemalulu, Principal Protocol Officer Emmanuel Emuron Okwi, Capacity Development Officer Vincent Otebata, Chief Executive Officer of the Uganda Parliamentary Cooperative Savings and Credit Society Ltd (SACCO) Methods Murebe, and Stella Itute, a Personal Assistant in Parliament.

According to the charge sheet cited by local media, prosecutors allege that the accused committed various corruption-related offences, including embezzlement, causing financial loss, and money laundering. The allegations relate to the management and handling of public resources and are expected to be formally presented before the Anti-Corruption Court.

The Inspectorate of Government has not yet released detailed public comments on the individual charges beyond confirming the arrests and the planned court appearance.

The arrests form part of the IGG's ongoing efforts to investigate alleged corruption and strengthen accountability within public institutions. The anti-graft agency has repeatedly maintained that enforcing transparency and protecting public resources remain central to its mandate.

The Anti-Corruption Court is expected to hear the case, where the prosecution will present the charges and the accused will have an opportunity to respond.
