May be the black book got put away while the high table menu
was steaming and so no need to refer to it.
As to what UPC does or will do about corruption,like you,I really
do not know but let us keep our ears to the ground.
The more things change,the more they remain the same!.
Keep tuning.

Whatever happened to Ssemo's famous 'black-book' of the 1980s, did anyone ever get prosecuted because of it or was it just an empty gesture?

What can or will the UPC do about corruption?

UPC ‘watching’ corrupt officials
By Elias Biryabarema
Nov 6, 2003 - Monitor
KAMPALA – The Uganda Peoples Congress is keeping a dossier on people it suspects to be stealing public money.
A senior party official said yesterday that those suspects will be punished when UPC, which ruled between 1962–’71 and 1981–’85, returns to power.
“We’re recording what is happening, who’s robbing what and which building has he put up and where,” Mr Oweyegha Afunaduula, a member of UPC’s caretaker body, the Presidential Policy Commission, said yesterday.
“When time comes those who stole from the people will have to return the loot to them,” Afunaduula said.
He was speaking at UPC’s weekly news conference at Uganda House.
Afunaduula did not, however, mention any names already in the dossier.
The party official also took on President Yoweri Museveni for his statements, made last
week, that the country’s opposition has no vision for the country.
Afunaduula said Mr Museveni’s vision has been the enhancement of “politics of ethnicity, nepotism, fraud, plunder and military adventurism”.
The party official said Museveni’s statement was “meant to frustrate the spirit of national dialogue which is taking root”.
Government recently appointed a team to hold talks with the opposition parties and organisations over the transition to multiparty politics, expected to start in 2006.
Afunaduula also disagreed with a claim by Museveni that he has never violated the 1995 Constitution.
He said the President had appointed more than 21 Cabinet ministers without approval of Parliament and had also appointed a Prime Minister – both in contravention of the Constitution.
