The TVET Council Uganda has reaffirmed its commitment to integrity, transparency, and accountability in the delivery of licensing and accreditation services under the TVET Act, 2025.
In a statement dated May 5, 2026, Executive Director Moses Kasakya raised concern over attempts by some technical and vocational education and training (TVET) providers to offer financial inducements in exchange for favourable outcomes in licensing and programme accreditation processes.
The Council also warned of individuals impersonating its officials and soliciting money from unsuspecting institutions under false pretences.
Authorities stressed that no form of inducement or unofficial payment should be made to Council staff or any persons claiming to represent the institution.
“All decisions regarding applicants who qualify as TVET providers, as well as programme accreditation, are made strictly on the basis of established standards as set out in the TVET Act, 2025,” the statement read.
The Council further advised stakeholders to remain vigilant and verify all communication and transactions through official channels.
It clarified that any legitimate payments must only be made to bank accounts published on its official website, TVET Council Uganda Website.
Members of the public were also encouraged to report suspicious activity via the official contact email, info.tvetcouncil.go.ug.
“The integrity of our licensing and accreditation processes is non-negotiable, and we remain committed to ensuring that all decisions are made strictly on merit and in accordance with the law,” the Council said.
The warning comes amid growing concerns across regulatory institutions in Uganda over fraud, impersonation, and attempts to influence public service decisions through illicit payments.
Officials say the reforms under the TVET Act, 2025 are aimed at strengthening standards, improving skills training quality, and ensuring that vocational institutions meet national development needs without compromise.
