This is the last memory someone creates about Uganda. I am ashamed each time I take a visitor to the airport. A soldier, to me, is a person of integrity and dignity, someone who commands respect. How did we turn them into beggars? Generals, I want answers!\u201d she posted on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday, addressing military chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>Her post generated a debate and several other travellers in comments on the thread echoed similar experiences where armed security personnel openly demanded from them to leave for them \u201csomething\u201d at the airport checkpoint.<\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Spokesman of the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs, Col Deo Akiiki, denied their personnel have turned into beggars.<\/p>\n<p>Entebbe is Uganda\u2019s only international airport and its refurbished and restricted old section is used by the presidential crew. The airport borders Uganda People\u2019s Defence Airforce and United Nations bases, with the latter serving regional peace and security missions.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators expressed surprise that some of the suspects invoke \u201clunch\u201d as a pretext to obtain money from passengers yet on-duty officers are provided food.<\/p>\n<p>One source said the officers at the checkpoints live next to the airport and their demand for money ostensibly for transport fare is unjustified.<\/p>\n<p>UCAA Spokesman, Mr Vianney Luggya, said management handles unprofessional behaviour once alerted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn spite of this and the various customer service sensitisation engagements with some of the agencies\u2019 staff, there are always black sheep who may do otherwise and, unfortunately, create the wrong impression that all are like that. We shall continue to deal with those in line with the prescribed disciplinary processes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cWe have always clearly articulated our commitment to ensuring a better passenger experience at Entebbe International Airport; so, we do not condone any actions contrary to that&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In January, travellers complained about extortion at the airport facility, with some saying they were stopped from travelling after refusing to pay bribes.<\/p>\n<p>Some upset passengers recorded the bribe extortion schemes on their mobile phones and shared the video clips on social media, creating a public relations nightmare for Uganda\u2019s aviation stakeholders and crises meetings between various agencies represented at the airport.<\/p>\n<p>They later announced reforms, among them proscribing staff from using mobile phone handsets at work and banning passengers from recording videos inside the airport, which attracted a backlash.<\/p>\n<p>We were unable to establish the success in the implementation of the changes meant for good image building.<\/p>\n<p>The latest allegations lobbed by, among others, Ms Anderson whirl the flames of smouldering problem authorities wished died out. The claim is emerging after UCAA in January announced bolstering supervision to stem mischief of the kind being reported.<\/p>\n<p>The authority between 2020 and January 2023 recorded 26 incidents in which employees drawn from different agencies and working at the airport were implicated in misconduct.<\/p>\n<p>In March, this year, police arrested four workers including security officers at the airport, for allegedly helping a Nigerian national smuggle narcotic drugs worth Shs4b into Uganda.<\/p>\n<p><b>Salary per rank<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2022Police Constable: Shs470,000<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Police Corporal: Shs490,000<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Police Sergeant: Shs530,000<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Assistant Inspector of Police: Shs560,000<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Inspector of Police: Shs640,000<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
