By measuring perceptions by significant players in Uganda’s legislative arena, new research set out to determine how successfully Uganda’s parliament is fulfilling its oversight function. Legislative oversight tools, potential, will, and a combination of external and internal factors for oversight were all considered in the analysis and data regarding keeping power excesses in check and ensuring developmental intentions met the optimum outcome for all citizens. The research data was collected by interviewer-led and self-administered questionnaires, completed by forty-seven respondents (13 MPs, 10 Parliamentary Staff, 12 CSO representatives, and 12 media representatives), as well as additional research on oversight and anti-corruption in Uganda.
