    Democratic consolidation and intelligence oversight in Uganda: implications for emerging democracies
    (LAMBERT Academic Publishing (LAP), 2017-04-04) Asiimwe, Solomon Muchwa
    The book is about intelligence oversight and the promotion of democracy. It explains intelligence management, primarily focusing on intelligence oversight institutions and mechanisms. The book brings out an assessment on the role of intelligence oversight institutions and mechanisms in the promotion of democracy. The book reveals that intelligence oversight in Uganda is not explicit because the intelligence legislation is also not clear about it. The only meaningful intelligence oversight is assumed to be done by the agency internal administration under the auspice of the President. The other existing institutions like Parliament, the Inspectorate of Government, the Judiciary, are not equal to the task of overseeing the intelligence services effectively. This is due to the uniqueness of the intelligence sector; in its nature and operations of working under total secrecy compared to other sectors of government. The book therefore, recommends for an intelligence review which should end up with recommendations for amending the intelligence law to harmonise it with other recently enacted laws aimed at consolidating democratic governance.

    Law enforcement intelligence in Uganda
    (Routledge, 2024) Muchwa, Asiimwe Solomon
    This chapter examines law enforcement intelligence in Uganda. It starts with the premise that law enforcement intelligence is vital for the police to be effective and efficient in keeping law and order, but in Uganda, it is rather weak and not very obvious. The chapter presents a conceptual and analytic framework for law enforcement, disorder, and insecurity in Uganda. Thereafter, it examines and explains the challenges facing law enforcement intelligence in Uganda. It argues that the lack of clarity emanates from the conflated nature of the intelligence services in the country. This works against the police's ability to effectively deal with existing and future threats to law and order. The chapter also argues that the competing mandates of the intelligence providers in the country are the prime challenge, among others. It uses a qualitative methodology that combines historical/archival review and a combination of primary and secondary research into Ugandan intelligence services.
