Ono Bwino can exclusively report that Justice Aisha Naluzze Batala the Inspector General of Government (IGG) has directed investigations into allegations that there is ongoing nepotism and illegal staff recruitment at Mulago Specialized Women and Neonatal Hospital.
The directive was addressed to Maj. Dr. Tom Magambo the Police’s Director of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and Brig Gen Henry Isoke’s State House Anti-Corruption Unit basing on the presidential directive guiding on how working together can help in the fight against corruption and criminality in the National Resistance Movement (NRM) government.
According to the petition seen by this website, a whistleblower is accusing the hospital top management of abusing their offices by bringing their relatives, girlfriends, boyfriends and friends to contest for the jobs which are supposed to be contested by internal staff working in the hospital.
“On 30th September 2025, management issued an internal advert inviting staff members to apply for the vacant positions in the hospital not later than 17th of October 2025 at 5pm EAT at the hospital’s Human Resource Office,” a petition read in parts.
