 * Symbol possible vote.svg Article is new enough and long enough. I think that the NGO and investigation sentences are sourced to the wrong source. Where in the source does it say that she monitored the multi party referendum or that she's with the Uganda Association of Women Lawyers? QPQ pending, hook moderately interesting but should maybe say "advocated" rather than "campaigned". I wonder if the sources are reliable, however.

 * Hi Jo-Jo Eumerus, thanks for the review. I have amended the hook to advocated, as you suggest.  With regards the sentences you mention the source says "the AU/ UNECA High Level Panel on Illicit Financial flows", I had the wrong source for the NGO one, I have amended it.  With regards the sourcing one article is a profile from the World Innovation Summit for Education, the other is a profile from the Uganda Association of Women Lawyers.  I consider them reliable but am open to challenge - Dumelow (talk) 17:49, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Um, I am still not seeing the investigations part in the source, nor the one about monitoring the Uganda referendum. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:31, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
 * HiJo-Jo Eumerus, these are quotes from the sources: has recently been appointed to a UN High-Level Panel on Illicit Financial Flows from Africa." "She has served on several national and regional expert task forces including EAC regional consultative team on Political Federation, and the AU/ UNECA High Level Panel on Illicit Financial flows"; "She participated in election monitoring for the EAC in Uganda in 2005"? - Dumelow (talk) 12:16, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I am not sure that I would consider such a panel and investigation by default. I take that no other elections took place in 2005 in Uganda? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:08, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, fair enough. I have removed the word "investigation" from the article.  The referendum is the only electoral event I could find from 2005 in Uganda (Elections in Uganda) but I can omit that part also if you like - Dumelow (talk) 18:54, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg both hooks seem equally appropriate to me. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:57, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
