Kampala, Uganda – In a bid to bolster their respective efforts in combating financial crimes and corruption, a delegation of five officials from the Malawi Judiciary has embarked on a two-day benchmarking session at Uganda’s specialized Anti-Corruption Division in Kololo. The visit is geared towards facilitating a constructive interchange of insights and best practices, further reinforcing the collaborative endeavors to counteract graft within the region.
As part of their ongoing commitment to enhancing anti-corruption measures, the Malawi delegation’s visit to Uganda’s Anti-Corruption Division serves as a fundamental platform for knowledge sharing. This initiative closely follows the recent establishment of the Finance Crimes Division within the Malawi High Court, which mirrors the organizational structure of Uganda’s Anti-Corruption Court.
The delegation includes three distinguished judges: Justice Redson Kapindu, Justice Violet Chipao, and Justice Anneline Kanthambi. They are accompanied by Ms. Joan Kwatiwani, an Assistant Registrar, and Mr. Phunziro Kwisongole, a Principal Court Administrator.
Central to their shared mission of curbing financial crimes, the visit to Uganda’s Anti-Corruption Division underscores the significance of international collaboration in addressing the intricate challenges posed by corruption. The reciprocal exchange of knowledge and experiences plays a pivotal role in honing anti-graft strategies and advancing transparency, accountability, and the principles of the rule of law.
By carefully studying the operations of Uganda’s Anti-Corruption Division, the Malawi Judiciary aims to fortify its own Finance Crimes Division, empowering it to effectively combat financial wrongdoing and corruption with heightened precision and efficacy.
