Corruption in Uganda is characterized by grand-scale theft of public funds and petty corruption involving public officials at all levels of society as well as widespread political patronage systems.[1] Elite corruption in Uganda is through a patronage system which has been exacerbated by foreign aid. Aid has been providing the government with large amounts of resources that contribute to the corrupt practices going on within the country.[2] The style of corruption that is used is to gain loyalty and support so that officials can remain in power.[2] One of the more recent forms of corruption is through public procurement because of the lack of transparency with transactions that happen within the government.
