Abstract
Intelligence oversight in Uganda requires strengthening for
effectiveness and for the country to achieve the democratic yardstick.
The country has made some commendable democratic steps but the
prevailing intelligence legal framework apparently does not provide
for independent and specific intelligence oversight mechanisms. The
only effective intelligence oversight is offered by the Agencies’ internal
administration and is strongly attributed to the personal leadership style
of the incumbent President. Hence, its future sustainability is generally
questionable.
