Political corruption is the abuse of entrusted power by political leaders for private gain, with the objective of increasing their power or wealth. It therefore tends to move consonantly with corruption in tax sector. Good examples of corruption in the tax sector are the findings highlighted by Lady Justice Sebutinde in the Uganda Revenue Commission Report. N-TAPO has always been calling on the government to implement the report’s recommendations wholesomely.

Political corruption need not involve money-changing hands; it may take the form of “trading in influence” or granting favors that poison politics and threaten democracy.

Millions of shillings of taxpayers' money has been lost in procurement of junk equipment, under-size uniforms and expired food rations and the persons responsible have been left to go scot-free. N-TAPO continuously calls upon the Government to bring to justice those who are responsible for such loses.
