public to intensify monitoring of government programmes, saying closer scrutiny of public expenditure would help curb corruption and improve service delivery. 



Muhwezi said Gombolola Internal Security Officers (GISOs), District Internal Security Officers (DISOs), journalists and the general public should demand information about government programmes, including their implementation plans, to establish whether public funds are being properly utilised. 

He made the call on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, while addressing GISOs and DISOs from the Bugisu sub-region at Wash and Wills Hotel in Mbale City. According to Muhwezi, citizens and security officers should not wait for government officials to volunteer information but should actively seek details about projects and how public resources are being spent. He said access to such information would enable the public to identify irregularities and expose officials who divert public funds. 


Muhwezi said intelligence officers at sub-county and district levels had a responsibility to monitor government programmes and ensure that those entrusted with public resources were held accountable. He stressed that effective monitoring would make civil servants more cautious about engaging in corruption because they would know that their activities were being scrutinised.
