The Inspector General of Government (IGG), Lady Justice Naluzze Aisha Batala, has reaffirmed the Inspectorate of Government’s commitment to strengthening Integrity Ambassadors Clubs in universities and other institutions of higher learning across Uganda.

Lady Justice Naluzze made the commitment when representatives of the Bishop Stuart University Integrity Ambassadors Club paid a courtesy call on her and presented a report detailing the club’s activities while seeking continued support for their anti-corruption initiatives.

The delegation was led by the outgoing University Club Vice President, Alison Twine, and the incoming Club President, Mackson Nagaba. They were accompanied by committee members Trust Owomani and Cecilia Mwesigye.

During the engagement, the IGG emphasised the importance of nurturing integrity among young people, saying strong ethical values are essential in preparing a future generation capable of providing accountable, responsible and ethical leadership.

She pledged continued support for Integrity Ambassadors Clubs as they promote integrity within institutions of learning and extend the message of ethical conduct into communities.

The engagement comes as the Inspectorate of Government continues to use Integrity Ambassadors Clubs as part of its broader efforts to promote anti-corruption awareness and ethical values among young people. The initiative is intended to equip students with knowledge and values that can help them identify and resist corrupt practices from an early stage.

In July 2025, the Deputy Inspector General of Government, Anne Twinomugisha Muhairwe, launched an Integrity Ambassadors Club at St. Mary's College Kisubi and urged students to take an active role in Uganda's fight against corruption. The Inspectorate has also established clubs in other learning institutions as part of its civic education and integrity-building efforts.

The Director of Research, Education and Advocacy, Gwaira Gerald, commended the Bishop Stuart University Integrity Ambassadors Club for its active engagement and commitment to promoting integrity.

Assistant Director Christine Lamwaka also briefed the IGG on the status of the 51 Integrity Ambassadors Clubs established in institutions across the country.

The clubs are designed to give young people a platform to promote integrity, good governance and anti-corruption values among their peers and within their wider communities. Government documents describe the Integrity Ambassadors Clubs as mechanisms for advocating and spreading the doctrine of integrity and anti-corruption among the youth.

The Inspectorate's continued focus on students reflects growing efforts to address corruption not only through investigations and enforcement but also through prevention and values-based education.

The Directorate for Ethics and Integrity has similarly identified values education in schools, cultural institutions and the public service as part of Uganda's broader five-year strategy for strengthening ethics and integrity.

For Bishop Stuart University students involved in the Integrity Ambassadors Club, the engagement with the IGG provides an opportunity to strengthen their activities and contribute to the national campaign for ethical leadership.

The meeting ultimately reaffirmed the Inspectorate of Government's commitment to empowering young people as champions of integrity and active partners in Uganda's fight against corruption, with Integrity Ambassadors Clubs expected to remain an important avenue for cultivating responsible and accountable future leaders.
