President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni declared his support for the trial of civilians in the court martial, recognizing its role in addressing gun-related crimes.
According to President Museveni, the court martial has brought peace to the country by taking quick action against criminals, especially in the Karamoja region.
The restructuring is part of a broader initiative by President Museveni to enhance police leadership and operational efficiency within Uganda's law enforcement agencies.
“The fight against corruption involves serious individuals like you. If we don’t fight it, we shall destroy ourselves, and the destruction will start here within the UPDF before it affects the country and the region.”
The Ugandan government has signed a €2.7 billion contract with Turkey's Yapı Merkezi for the construction of this railway section, with work expected to commence in November 2024 and conclude within four years.
