MOROTO, UGANDA — The Deputy Resident District Commissioner (DRDC) for Moroto, Tuko Justin, has commended the Karamoja Anti-Corruption Coalition (KACC) for its efforts to promote accountability and combat corruption in the region.
Tuko made the remarks on Friday, August 21, 2026 during the dissemination of findings from the Auditor General’s Report on Moroto District for the 2024/2025 financial year. The meeting was held in the District Planning Board Room at Moroto District Headquarters and was attended by district officials and other stakeholders.
The audit findings were presented by Amina Lowakori, a Programme Officer at KACC. Among the issues highlighted were salary overpayments, unimplemented procurements and inadequate planning for the disposal of public assets.
In his response, Tuko urged KACC to engage with the Office of the Auditor General to clarify discrepancies where some issues highlighted during the dissemination may not accurately reflect the circumstances on the ground.
Meanwhile, Moroto District Community Development Officer Magie Lolem addressed concerns over outstanding balances under the Youth Livelihood Programme (YLP) and the Uganda Women Entrepreneurship Programme (UWEP). She reported that approximately half of the outstanding funds had been recovered.
Sophia Lomongin, a Project Officer at KACC, said the organisation would continue disseminating findings from the Office of the Auditor General across the Karamoja Sub-region.
She said the initiative is intended to strengthen public awareness, promote accountability and help identify and address practices that contribute to corruption and the misuse of public resources.
The dissemination provided a platform for district officials and stakeholders to examine the audit findings, discuss challenges in public resource management and identify areas requiring corrective action and improved accountability.
KACC said continued engagement between civil society organisations, government institutions and communities would be critical to ensuring that audit recommendations translate into tangible improvements in service delivery and public resource management.
