The committee will directly be reporting to the president who will intervene and draw final decisions for suspects to produce in court among other measures.

Museveni vowed that, in order to speed up in monitoring economic production and service delivery, his government will offer bicycles to parish chiefs saying it is quite and health for him to peddle around to monitor and inspect.

The IGG Irene Mulyagonja lauded president Museveni for such intervention noting that the committee will help in establishing corrupt officials that could be hiding behind him.

Senior officials who have been tried over corruption: former ministers, Herbert Kabafunzaki, Eng. Abraham Byandala. Others are former National Social Security Fund boss, David Chandi Jamwa, the former Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Service Jimmy Lwamafa, former Principal Accountants, Godfrey Kazinda and Christopher Obey among others.
