The Inspector General of Police, Martin Ochola, has released a list of targets he intends to achieve in his new term.
Ochola was last week approved by Parliament to serve another term.
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on March 4, 2018 appointed Ochola to replace Gen. Kale Kayihura who had been at the helm of police force for more than 12 years.
Ochola’s first contract ended a fortnight ago, but Museveni had already awarded him a new one in December last year.
In his list of targets for this new term, Ochola said the volatile security situation in Karamoja sub region will be among the key priorities in the next three years.
Karamoja is currently facing cattle rustling which has left a number of people injured or killed in gun fire exchange.
Ochola’s list of targets was released to the media yesterday by Police Spokesperson, Fred Enanga.
Other things Ochola intends to emphasize is making necessary changes to ensure the UPF is transformed by adopting new technologies and shifting away from the traditional methods of policing. Fred Enanga Speaking;..
The police chief has vowed to deal with corrupt officers who have seen the force being named as most corrupt.
Last month, police was named as the most corrupt government institution in an independent joint appraisal by the Inspectorate of Government and Uganda Bureau of Statistics. END .
