President Yoweri Museveni recently expressed strong determination to wipe out corruption across Uganda. His fervent statements underscore a renewed push against graft that has long plagued the nation.

Analysts point to persistent failures in accountability and enforcement as key reasons why corrupt practices are likely to grow stronger.
