The UPDF and police have issued a two weeks ultimatum to Ugandans either selling or wearing military attire to hand them over to security or else they will be arrested.
On Monday, the Kampala Metropolitan Police commander, Stephen Tanui met with all Regional Police Commanders for Kampala as well as ghetto youth commanders to brief them about the forthcoming operation.
He said the cloths that resemble police and army uniform are common everywhere sold in local shops and markets and many put them on to commit crimes especially during the night.
The Kampala Metropolitan Police commander explained that in some cases army and police deserters don the security attires whereas relatives of security personnel who passed on have also refused to hand these belongings back to government.
He revealed that within the two weeks grace period, all those with camouflage and other security attires will be allowed to return them without any reprimand, after which, the operation will begin.
Kampala Metropolitan deputy police spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire said the operation will be carried out by the police, army and their intelligence components. END
