Abstract
Corruption is also one of the most prominent issues in the public and political discourse in Uganda.
The Black Monday Movement, a coalition of anti corruption civil society organizations, estimates that between 2000 and 2014, the government lost more than UGX.24 trillion to corruption enough to finance the country's 2015/2016 budget.
A number of forms of corruption have been identified in Uganda over a period of time. These forms include: abuse of office; fraud and embezzlement; misappropriation of public funds and assets; paying for goods or services not delivered; paying salaries to non-existent workers; false declarations of imports and exports; bribery and extortion; public servants demanding commissions for work done; and nepotism.
This study will employ a doctrinal Research Methodology to analyze the effectiveness of the anti corruption laws in combating corruption in Uganda.
