The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SH-CU) has assured Ugandans who have been facing hardships while trying to contact its toll-free number that the issue will be resolved soon.
The inaccessible SH-CU’s toll-free number 0800202500 is said to be among the effective mechanisms the Unit uses to trap greedy corruption mafias.
In the notice inked by the Unit, it has been well stated that technicians are working tirelessly to resolve this communication barrier.
The Unit’s notice partially reads, ”You can reach us via 0778202500 or infor@reportcorrupion.go.ug. We regret any inconvenience caused and reassure our dear citizens that services will be restored as soon as remedial works have been completed.”

Via the above-mentioned toll-free number and other communication channels, the Unit has registered a huge success against corruption and has been able to recover over UGX30 billion tax payers’ money through prosecutions, and other measures used to compel corrupt officials to refund embezzled public funds.
The Unit has so far investigated different public servants for graft, including members of parliament, accounting officers, security personnel, directors of several government agencies, and commissions among other gov’t big fish.
In addition to the above, the Unit has also ensured the safe return of over 600 Ugandans stranded after being trafficked to Arab countries. It has also conclusively investigated over 10,000 cases and interdicted over 200 government workers from public offices.
SH-ACU was established under Article 99(4) of the constitution of Uganda, which gives the President executive powers to either directly or indirectly perform his duties or through officers subordinate to him.
Launched on 10th December 2018, SH-ACU coordinates with all constitutionally mandated agencies to ensure that complaints raised by citizens are resolved.
The Unit also acts as a link between H.E. the President, citizens and Anti- Corruption agencies in relation to the Anti-Corruption issues.
