Gen Lokech passed away on Saturday at his home in Kiira Municipality, Wakiso District.<\/p>\n

The cause of death was revealed to be two blood clots in his lung and ankle caused by an injury he sustained about two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

The reshuffle caused the transfer of 272 officers from all departments and directorates of police, including officers at the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police and Commissioner of Police.<\/p>\n

Others include police officers, who completed the Intermediate Command Course at Bwebajja Senior Command and Staff College and the Ideological Course at the National Leadership Institute in Kyankwanzi.<\/p>\n

According to an August 20 notice, which this newspaper has seen, Gen Lokech ordered that the handover and taking over of the new offices be done properly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
