Africa-Press – Uganda. With just 10 days to President Museveni’s swearing-in for a sixth elective term, Uganda Police Force in office has in a major shake-up moved hundreds of its top officers.
A highly-placed source at police headquarters in Naguru, a Kampala suburb, told Daily Monitor that the changes, which take immediate effect, were informed by intelligence clues that some actors plan to disrupt the inauguration due on May 12.
“Transfers in police are normal, but this time, we have political threats and that’s why we removed some commanders and we replaced them with other more competent officers with the purpose of intensifying the operations within their respective areas of command,” the source said.
It remained unclear who the plotters or suspected saboteurs are.Another source at police headquarters said the Police Advisory Committee meeting was informed that unnamed political groups are mobilising in all parts of the country to disrupt the swearing-in event.
The transfer list that this newspaper has seen shows that officers affected in the latest movements range in rank from Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASPs) to Commissioner of Police .
Immediate effect
The radio message announcing the transfers indicates that the 254 appointed and gazetted police officers leave their old offices and occupy the new offices with “immediate effect”.
The directorates of Human Resource Management and that of Criminal Investigations and Crime Intelligence are some of the most affected.
Another source said the National Police Council in a meeting last week recommended that 153 officers be dismissed from the Force and replaced.
The reasons for the decision were not immediately clear and we were unable to establish if these officers lined up for expulsion were those that the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Maj Gen Paul Lokech, labelled as corrupt and promised to sack “even if they appealed to God”.
Police spokesperson Fred Enanga was not available for comment about the reshuffle by press time.
