Do you think this new technology that detects wealth of public servants is going to help fight fraud in the public service?

Background
Government has commissioned new technology which can detect wealth owned by public servants but never declared to the Inspectorate of Government (IGG) under the Leadership Code Act.

While launching the technology recently, Mr Arnold Mangeni, the manager information security at the National Information Technology Authority Uganda, said the technology analyses confidential information which public servants provide to different government ministries, departments and agencies to see whether it is consistent with the one declared to the IGG under the leadership code act.

“Under the leadership code, you might have declared to the IGG that you own two houses because of the salary you earn yet in the ministry of Lands, the records show that you own 15 houses because of the interests you have, ” he said.

Unlike the leadership code, the system checks all the government databases which have been interlinked and can trace the source of fraud to the individuals involved.
