Uganda scores nearly perfectly in an assessment of the legal framework for fighting corruption — enforcement of these laws, however, is another issue. In practice, performance is very weak. The gap between legal code and actual performance is the largest recorded in 2007, suggesting deep problems in the country's governance. To take one example, despite tight political financing regulations, allegations of exceeding the regulations are common. Yet, at press time, the Electoral Commission has never launched an investigation.
