The Uganda Institution of Professional Engineers (UIPE) is raising concerns over recent public arrests of district engineers during anti-corruption operations. While acknowledging the necessity of fighting corruption in public works, UIPE argues that the current approach may be overlooking systemic issues contributing to poor infrastructure. The organization stresses the importance of due process for the arrested engineers. They believe focusing solely on arrests risks ignoring deeper structural problems within local governments. UIPE suggests a more comprehensive strategy is needed, addressing root causes rather than simply reacting to symptoms of corruption. This call emphasizes balancing accountability with fair treatment and sustainable solutions for improved infrastructure. The body hopes for a more considered response from the government.
