Abstract
Free, independent and hard-hitting media can play an important role in curbing corruption. Media in Uganda has enjoyed considerable freedom in this regard since Museveni came to power in 1986. The evolving power structure and a changing media landscape, however, have presented both challenges and opportunities for media's watchdog role on corruption. This paper will explore how this environment defined such role between 1986 and 2006 during Museveni's no-party rule. It argues that, although media won important battles to promote accountability in public offices, the regime's complex power structure has consistently challenged their role as an instrument of public accountability.
