The Inspectorate of Government (IG) has said it’s investigating leadership chaos tearing apart Uganda Cancer Institute, the country’s leading cancer care centre.

This intervention by IG follows an August 22nd petition undersigned by the senior management staff, who are disappointed over the alleged poor state of governance by the Board of Directors of the Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI), specifically the Board Chair (Prof William Bazeyo), which they said has caused “several operational inadequacies.”

“The IG received the petition from the staff of UCI against the chairperson of the board. These allegations have been consistent about the chairperson meddling in the daily management of UCI and name throwing,” Ms Ali Munira, the IG spokesperson told The Monitor.

Ms Munira also said in April, the IG issued a report regarding the institute and that “most of the recommendations were implemented, which led to improved service delivery at UCI”.

“The ED UCI communicated to the IG about this improvement. The IG will investigate and make recommendations to the minister of Health to take action,” she added.
