Gen.Kale Kayihura has finally handed over office officially, applauding President Museveni for giving him chance to serve the country as the Inspector General of Police.
Having served for 12 years,Kayihura was dropped as police boss and replaced by his deputy Martin Okoth Ochola.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Kayihura said it was an honour for him to be the longest serving police boss since independence.
“Its a great moment because I never thought I would be the longest serving IGP.I must appreciate the commander in Chief,”Kayihura said.

Speaking of his tenure, Kayihura said he was sorry for any mistakes that he might have committed during his duties.
“If there is anybody whose toes i stepped on, I am sorry. It was not personal but for the good of the country,” he said.
He added,” For any failures, we share them as a team as the successes.”
The new IGP Ochola applauded president Museveni for giving him the opportunity to serve as police boss.

“He played a good role especially in community policing and force ideology. I will continue building on what you started to its conclusion, ”Ochola said.

In Hoima—

Hoima district leaders have described the Bugangaizi East Member of Parliament utterance on women beating as a disgrace to Bunyoro and demanded his public apology.

OnesmusTwinamasiko last week in an interview justified the need for men to ‘panel beat’ their wives by whipping them.

Pius Wakabi, the Member of Parliament for Bugahya County says Twinamasiko’s comment humiliates the entire Bunyoro leadership as they are perceived as promoters of domestic violence.

Tophus KaahwaByagira, the Woman Member of Parliament for Hoima who doubles as secretary for Bunyoro Parliamentary caucus says Twinamasiko’s comment demeans the values and rights of women and should be examined to substantiate it

According to her, any form of physical torture is a criminal act and should not be supported in anyway.

Evassey Munguryeki; the district secretary for gender and community development and Plan Bernadette, the district secretary for planning say Twinamasiko deserves to be reprimanded to defend his statement because domestic violence hampers family development.

Nathan Turaytemba and Marion Ahimbisibwe students at Makerere competent secondary school, however, encourage for peace talks in homes, rather than physical violence saying this has partly fueled school dropouts.

The MP has been a laughing stock on social media for supporting domestic violence.
