Following the detention of former IGP, the Police force is set to begin its headcount effective on Monday June 18.
The Inspector General of Police, Martin Okoth Ochola has ordered for a headcount in Uganda Police Force to establish the actual number of serving officers countrywide as one of the ways to professionalize it.
His predecessor and now jailed Gen.Kale Kayihura had indicated that the force was currently having a total of 43000 officers.
In a message on June 15 by Assistant Commissioner of Police, William Okalany, the Professional Standards Unit commander, the exercise will begin with units, divisions and regions within Kampala before rolling out to upcountry regions and districts.
“All personnel working within a district or division regardless of their mother units will be verified from that particular area where they are attached,” says in part the message to all units by the PSU commander.
“The audit teams will be assisted by RPCs and DPCs to ensure that commanders of such personnel are notified to attend the exercise.”
According to the message, each DPC is expected to organize not more than two audit centers whereas unit commanders are supposed to update their nominal rolls, a copy of which will be availed to the audit team on arrival.
“Each personnel will fill a manpower audit form before proceeding to the audit team for verification.”
According to the message by the Professional Standards Unit commander, all personnel are expected to present a recent passport photo, police number, bank account number, TIN number, National Identity Card number, date of enlist into the force, date of posting to current station and date of last promotion.
“Personnel that will be unaccounted for at the end of the exercise will be deleted from the payroll,” says the message.
Speaking while handing over office, Kayihura said he had elevated the police force from a bad shape of 18,000 officers that he found it with 12 years back to 43,000 officers at the hand over.
“In spite of the recent bad image, I am handing over a police force that is in better shape than the one I found. The force is now built on a solid foundation. And in spite of the setbacks, we are moving in the right direction,” Gen Kayihura said.
Despite the claims of 43000 personnel by the former police boss, this number looks too big considering a number of officers who have deserted the force in the recent years.
An audit recently indicated that at least 3,500 police officers had reportedly deserted the force in the last three years between 2014 and 2017.
The officers who deserted were mostly from the Field Force Unit, Anti- Stock Theft Unit(ASTU) and Tourism Police who are mainly deployed in neglected areas and their salaries always delay prompting them to leave the force to do other things.
Recently it was found out that many police officers leave the force to go for greener pastures abroad.

The Mukono Municipality MP Betty Nambooze,has been rushed to Kiruddu Hospital in Makindye Division in bad health condition,
Mr Elias Lukwago posted on his facebook timeline that MP Nambooze who has been in bad health condition since her detention at Nagalama Police Station, has today been transferred to Kiruddu Hospital to receive treatment.
Nambooze was on Wednesday arrested from her home in Mukono and taken to Jinja Road Police in Kampala where she was briefly held before being transferred to Nagalama Police Station, before being released on bond that evening.
She was on Thursday however re-summoned to appear at SIU Kireka to “complete her statement”, but was later transferred to Nagalama Police Station where she has since been detained.
Mr Lukwago had earlier asked police to release Nambooze saying she is sick and supposed to travel for treatment abroad, but in vain.
She is being questioned in regard to Arua Municipality MP, Ibrahim Abiriga’s death.
Police on Tuesday said that before Abiriga’s murder last week, Ms Nambooze and three other people posted messages on various social media platforms supporting the attack on Abiriga.
A detective had said Ms Nambooze, Raymond Soulfa, alias Peng Peng, Nasser Mugerwa and Jane Kuli would be arrested for alleged offensive communication.
Mr Vincent Ssekate, the spokesperson of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, confirmed the plan to arrest the MP and her co-accused.
Mr Ssekate said a general enquiry file had been opened at the Criminal Investigations Department headquarters against them.

In Masindi
Norman Lukumu, the former Prime Minister Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom has explained during this Iddi Elifitiri how his sacking was caused being of Muslim faith.
Addressing Muslims at Kihande mosque in Masindi town yesterday, Lukumu noted that while he was Bunyoro’s prime minister, he was being witch hunted because of being a Muslim. He added that another thing which could have caused his sacking is being a mugungu by tribe.
H e said he has been working with people who are promoting sectarianism adding that they are the same people who are still in the kingdom’s leadership.
He also added that he is disappointed with people who have continued to tarnish his name noting that many people have gone a head claiming that Lukumu sold all Kingdom’s properties citing Kyanwali land and Kinyara shares.
He explained that he has never sold any Kingdom property but during his tenure they only leased Kyangwali land for 99 years. He revealed that while Bunyoro’s prime minister he did many things but people are silent on them instead they are tarnishing his name.
Early this year, Solomon Gafabusa Iguru, the Omukama of Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom sacked Norman Lukumu as Bunyoro’s prime minister and replaced him with Andrew Byakutaga something which didn’t go well with him. After his sacking Lukumu rushed to Masindi court challenging his sacking arguing that his term had not yet ended.
His application was dismissed by the Masindi deputy registrar,Simon Kintu,because it had no strong grounds.

During the same prayers, sheikh SaphianYahayaMugisa, the district Khadi greater Masindi expressed his concern over the increased brutal murders and arrests of the Muslims hence calling upon Muslims in Uganda to pray for the country such that it can get peace.

In Masindi
Eight people are reported to have been bitten by a rabid dog in Kijogoro and the neighbouring villages in Miirya Sub-county, Masindi District.
According to Enoch Wandera, a resident of Kijogoro village, the dog from Nyambindo village located about four miles away yesterday bit four people in the village with a similar number of people also bitten in the neighboring Kyatiri village.
Wandera said the victims included children and adults. The dog’s whereabouts were still unknown causing fear that it may bite school going children in the area.
The resident added that some of the dog’s victims had been taken to Masindi General Hospital for medical management before being referred to Kinyara sugar works and Kiryandongo district for anti-rabies vaccines.
Wandera said this has forced some who cannot afford bills for the referrals to resort to herbal remedies.
When contacted, Leonard Ochama, the Kijogoro village chairperson confirmed the dog bites report. However, he said only three people had been bitten by the dog in his village and two in the neighbouring Kyatiri village.
Ochama revealed that he had asked residents to kill the dog on sight and also informed the office of District Internal Security Officer (DISO) about the matter. However, by press time, he was yet to receive any response from him.
When contacted Fred Ssebuguzi, the district veterinary officer Masindi confirmed the reports but advised them report in time when they come across it adding that if it is killed they should also inform them such that can take samples.

In Kampala
Ugandan President Gen.Yoweri Museveni on Friday announced changes in his district representatives (Resident District Commissioners), in which several were moved, some maintained and others dropped.
Some of the changes on the outlook seemed strategic and intended to send some political messages.
Among the most eye-catching changes, the President dropped the Lyantonde RDC Hajji Suleiman Tiguragara Matojo Salongo.
Matojo is replaced by Catherine Kamwiine.
This comes just days after the President sent out a military team to Lyantonde to arrest former Inspector General of Police Gen Edward Kale Kayihura, who is currently detained at Makindye Barracks on security related offices.
The President also moved one of the most prominent RDCs Maj Martha Asiimwe, from Mbarara, appointing her on the RDC’s Secretariat.
Maj Asiimwe was replaced in Mbarara by Maj James Mwesigye.
The RDCs Secretariat was recently created by President Museveni as a parallel monitoring unit to the Inspectorate of Government (IGG) and is expected to receive information about corruption from aggrieved citizens.
Also on this unit is, UNATU’s James Tweheyo and Sr Mary Grace Akiror.
From Rukungiri district, RDC Martin Mugabi was moved to Bugiri district and replaced by Dan Kaguta.
The President and his ruling NRM party recently suffered a political defeat there, losing the district woman seat to the opposition FDC.
Meanwhile the president moved Kampala’s Resident City Commissioner Deborah Mbabazi to Kibaale, replacing her with Faridah Mpiima.
Below is full list of appointment of RDCs and Deputy RDCs
