Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the President and Commander in Chief (CiC) of Uganda’s armed forces, has promoted seven officers from the rank of senior commissioners of police to assistant inspector general of police (AIGP).
The announcement was made by the police spokesperson, ACP Rusoke Kituuma, in a brief statement on Wednesday, September 4, 2024.
Among the officers who have attained the highest rank in the force are Moses Kafeero, the Director of Human Resources and Training, and SCP Frank Mwesigwa, the Director of Operations Service.
AIGP Kafeero previously worked in various departments of police, including KMP Commander, Commander Kabalye Police Training School, and Police Senior Command and Staff College in Bwebajja, among others.
AIGP Mwesigwa is remembered for his actions during the 2021 presidential campaign, which left several dead.
After the November 16, 2020 incident, Mwesigwa had been in the quiet position of deputy director of counter-terrorism (CT) police until recently, when President Museveni returned him to active force as Director of Operations.
Also on the list of promotions are AIGP Bamunoma Ubaldo, the Director in Charge of the Chief Political Commissariat, and Felix Baryawisaki, the Director of ICT, among others.
The AIGP is the third highest rank in police after that of the Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP) and Inspector General of Police (IGP).
