 Museveni says he has not amassed a fortune while in power |
President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and all his ministers have published their assets. The detailed declarations are required by a law designed to encourage transparency in government.
President Museveni - who has been in power for 17 years - declared an annual income of $24,000.
He said his main asset was a farm and that his bank accounts held no more than $2,500.
Ugandan law states that those in public office must disclose their assets and liabilities every two years.
The declarations were published on Sunday by the state-run New Vision newspaper.
It said that President Museveni's most expensive possession was a farm valued at about $30,000.
He has about $2,500 in the bank and does not own a personal car, the paper says.
Sophistication
The declarations are open to public scrutiny and people are allowed to challenge them.
The BBC's Will Ross in Kampala says that in principle the move has been welcomed by Ugandans.
But - our correspondent adds - critics question the authenticity of the declarations and doubt whether the process will curb corruption.
Potential whistleblowers can go to jail if their challenge is deemed to be in bad faith.
One Ugandan politician told our correspondent that the methods of corruption were now extremely sophisticated, adding: "I can't possibly tell you more."
