The institutional framework implemented by the National Resistance Movement to combat corruption in Uganda is scrutinized to determine why corrupt behavior remains prevalent. The role of several government agencies (eg, the Ministry of Ethics & Integrity, the Inspector General of Government, & the Public Accounts Committee) & the press in fighting against corruption between 1986 & 1998 is reviewed. Measures taken by government agencies in reforming Uganda's framework for combating corruption during the late 1990s are discussed; & changes in economic policy, military programs, & the press are noted. Recommendations for improving the nation's anticorruption framework include the need to better coordinate anticorruption agencies, the empowerment of civil society, & the creation of a political will. 17 References.

During the era of the All People's Congress (A.P.C.), 1968–92, the state machinery and resources of Sierra Leone were used to promote the interests of a relatively small number of persons rather than those of the general public. A system of patronage thrived under this ruling party primarily because membership of particular groupings was a more acceptable qualification for position than an individual's actual capabilities. The ensuing intrigues deterred development in the country because members of cliques were only accountable to their leader and his top officials.
