Abstract
The research aims at examining the effectiveness of the legal and institutional
framework on corruption in the fight against corruption in Uganda putting into
consideration the Anti -Corruption Act 2009. Corruption has continued to be a very
serious problem in the country and the entire world in which Uganda is considered to
be amongst the most corrupt countries. In trying to solve the problem, the country has
come up with different Anti-corruption laws and institutions.
However, despite the existence of such, the rate at which corruption grows is very
high and different questions have continued to exist in the minds of the citizens as to
why corruption has persisted yet various attempts to eliminate it have been made,
whether there is a big problem with the existing laws and Anti-Corruption Institutions
and what could be the factors that hinder the performance of such institutions. The
research has intended to answer some of such questions which have continued to
rotate in the minds of Ugandans. It emphasizes that for there to be a total fight against
corruption, there is need to have effective laws and proper implementers of such laws.
