Uganda: We don’t have army rec
THE Police Force has denied press reports that at least 40 serving UPDF soldiers were secretly training as policemen. In its lead story titled, 'Soldiers train to take up top police jobs', Sunday Monitor yesterday quoted anonymous police sources saying that the disguised army men would, after completing the Cadet course at Masindi Training School, be deployed around the country as district police commanders.
But the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Asan Kasingye, refuted the report in a statement issued yesterday. He said the allegations were a 'blatant falsehood'.
"No single serving soldier was recruited, or is attending training at Police Training School, Masindi, as alleged in the story," Mr Kasingye said.
He said allegations that names of 40 serving UPDF troops were smuggled into the school during submission of the list of 78 in-service officers for higher training, in a move to bring the police force under firm military control was 'bold speculation.'
Negative elements
"We shall not sit idly by and watch as negative elements, apparently bent on a mission of destruction, actively seek to undermine and sabotage the government's efforts to build a modern and professional Police Force, by peddling falsehoods disguised as news," the press statement read in part.
Mr Kasingye said Criminal Investigations Directorate officers had summoned the author of the story, senior Daily Monitor reporter, Chris Obore and the paper's editors to provide evidence on the claims of soldiers training in police schools.
He said Mr Denis Karugaba identified in the contested story, as one of the eight named serving soldiers in police training. does not exist among the new cadet recruits.
Mr Kasingye said the other listed disguised army men; Mr Agaba Rugubwa, Mr Shariff Seiko Chemonges, Mr Job Mutegeki, Mr Joram Mwesigye, Mr Godfrey Achira and Mr Tinka Zarugaba were recruited transparently and had never served in the military.
According to Mr Kasingye, the alleged false news was clearly designed to alarm the public and cause disaffection among police officers and lower the dignity police among the piblic.
"Equally, we shall not allow anybody, under whatever guise, to undermine the cohesion and integrity of the Uganda Police Force and its leadership. The law shall take its course," he said.
