The Directorate of Ethics and Integrity is in final stages of drafting a bill that will allow individual Ugandans to sue corrupt government ministers, president among other public officials.
The bill against the corrupt will be called ‘’quintum bill 2012.’ The bill will allow individual Ugandans to provide information and the Attorney General will be required to support that individual Ugandan or Ugandans in courts of law.
The minister of state for Ethics and Integrity Simon Lokodo says that the individual Ugandan or group of people who will win a case against the corrupt public servants will get 25% of the proceeds of the suit.
He says that when stolen items are recovered, they will have to be sold and the people who filed the case will get 25% of the sale proceeds. We are told that the bill is being financed by the World Bank and Amnesty international.
