Uganda: Donors "will not tolerate" graft in Uganda - Danish envoy

The donor community has asked the government to strengthen the fight against corruption or miss further donations. Representing the donor community on Monday [31 October] during the launch of the corruption week at the Constitution Square, the royal Danish ambassador, Mr Stig Barling, said Uganda had failed to minimize corruption though it had a framework to minimize it. "As Uganda's development partners, we will not tolerate corruption. Any score below four is unacceptable by the development partners. We have zero tolerance on corruption and impunity when it comes to corruption. We have zero patience on such issues. The government institutions should act or will miss donations in future," he said.
