IGP Ochola shuffles DPCs, suspends five

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The Inspector-General of Police Martin Okoth Ochola has appointed a new police chief for Entebbe International Airport. Senior Superintendent of Police Paul Kakamba replaces Assistant Commissioner of Police James Ruhweza who in turn replaces him as Kampala Metropolitan South Regional Police Commander.

The changes were announced on Wednesday afternoon by deputy police spokesperson ACP Polly Namaye.

“The Inspector-General of Police has made fresh deployments, transfers and appointments of gazetted officers from the rank of ACP to ASP,” ACP Namaye said. “The decision impacts on various offices including heads of departments, regional police commanders, district police commanders and others.”

But as most of the senior police officers celebrate their new postings, four Divisional Police Commanders and one CID commander have been ordered to appear at police’s Professional Standards Unit –for interrogation.

The senior officers Ochola has ordered to be probed are Superintendent of Police Geofrey Egwangu who has been DPC Namayingo, Assistant Superintendent of Police Edgar Akankwasa who replaced slain ASP Muhammad Kirumira as Buyende DPC, ASP Robert Kacumu who has been DPC Butambala, ASP Dennis Musinguzi who has been DPC Ssembabule and ASP Juliet Nakawala who has been CID commander Nansana police division.

“The officers are tasked with ensuring professional and efficient delivery of all police services in their area of jurisdiction. These transfers are normal and take immediate effect,” Namaye’s statement says.

In the same reshuffle, ACP Moses Muluya has been appointed head of security at Mbarara University of Science and Technology while SP Charles Nsaba who is former Old Kampala DPC has been appointed deputy RPC Kampala North.
