Abstract:
The study's objectives were to assess the connection between corruption and the execution of government projects, to examine the effects of corruption on the execution of government projects, and to evaluate potential anti-corruption measures. Koch Goma town council served as the case study for the study, which focused on the impact of corrupt behavior on the implementation of national projects in Uganda. The investigation revealed that there are many projects that have failed in Koch Goma Town Council due to the evil practice of corruption, and that both the civil servants of the Town Council and Nwoya District executive are engaged in such act. The findings suggested that people have negative attitudes toward government projects. Road Maintenance Funds Koch Goma to Koch Lii Road, Koch Goma to Lila were mismanaged by the District and Town Council Officials. In order to improve the welfare of local farmers and build community capacity, NAADS, NUSAF I, II, and III were in place prior to Operation Wealth Creation. However, all of those projects failed due to corruption, and people lost faith in government projects because those who are most affected are not receiving any benefits. Also, the operation wealth creation is not being carried out properly. A recent example is when Gen. Salim Salle, the program's director, gave local musicians 10 billion Ugandan shillings during a conference in Gulu City in 2021. That demonstrates how misusing public resources and programs. The study also shows that a high level of corruption inside the government entities is the reason why individuals are not participating in government projects (programs). Prior to Operation Wealth Creation, NAADS, NUSAF I, II, and III were in place to improve local farmer welfare and community capacity building. However, all of those projects failed due to corruption, and people lost faith in government projects because those who are most affected are not receiving any benefits. However, the operations wealth creation is not being carried out efficiently. As evidence, the program's director, Gen. Salim Salle, gave 10 billion Ugandan shillings to local singers at a conference held in Gulu City in 2021. This demonstrates how public resources and programs are abused. The survey also shows that due to widespread corruption inside government institutions, citizens are not participating in government programs or projects.
