Earlier this year, Betty Kamya announced that she would conduct lifestyle audits on government officials whose wealth did not match their known income to which President Yoweri Museveni responded by cautioning her on the strategy, saying she should go slow as it could scare the corrupt officials from investing the stolen funds in the country and instead take it abroad.
