President Museveni on Tuesday appointed Justice Aisha Naluzze Bataala as the new Inspector General of Government (IGG), replacing Beti Olive Namisango Kamya, whose four-year contract expired last month.
In the changes, the two other deputies Dr. Patricia Achan Okiria and Mrs. Anne Twinomugisha Muhairwe maintained their positions.
Who is Justice Aisha Naluzze?
Justice Naluzze, 48, currently serves in the Land Division of the High Court and brings over two decades of legal and judicial experience to the ombudsman’s office tasked with promoting transparency and combating corruption in public service.
She began her legal career at F. Mukasa & Co. Advocates as a Legal Assistant (2003–2005), before joining the judiciary, where she steadily rose through the ranks of the Magistrates’ Courts to the High Court.
Her academic credentials include a Bachelor of Laws from Makerere University and a Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice from the Law Development Centre (LDC). She also holds a Master’s Degree in Management Studies from the Uganda Management Institute (UMI).
Justice Naluzze has enhanced her expertise through international training programs focusing on integrity in public office, land adjudication, anti-corruption enforcement, and human rights protection. These include sessions at the Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities, the TIP Prosecution Academy, and the Korea International Cooperation Agency.
Her appointment signals a continued effort by the government to strengthen institutions responsible for good governance and accountability.
