Uganda Police Force to recruit another 1000 more officers to curb on anticipated 2021 Political Crisis and Other Crimes.


The Police force will begin a countrywide recruitment drive of 1,000 officers, comprising Assistant Inspectors of Police (AIP) and constables on July 26. The exercise will end on August 4.

The Police’s outgoing director for human resource and administration, Moses Balimwoyo, revealed on Tuesday that teams of senior officers to oversee the exercise had been formed.

Explaining the recruitment process for AIPs in an advert placed in the media, Balimwoyo indicated that applicants for the first 500 vacancies will be required to have a diploma from a recognized institution.

Under the category (AIP), Police will recruit 80 health workers, 250 information and communication technology (ICT) personnel, 150 for forensic services and 20 inspectors of vehicles. All applicants must be aged between 20 and 25 years.

Qualifications
In the second category of probation Police constables, they intend to recruit 4,500 personnel.

 The applicants who must be aged between 18 and 22 years must have a Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) with five credits including in English and mathematics. University graduates have been barred from applying.

Other conditions are that the applicant must submit handwritten applications accompanied by original and photocopies of academic documents, identity cards of their former academic institution, three passport size photographs and recommendation letters from Local Councils 1, 11and 111 as well as a letter from one’s respective RDC.

According to sources, the recruitment drive is to support the force to ensure effective policing of the 2021 general elections. He said the recruitment will also help reduce on rampant incidents of crime in the country and improve the police-to-population ratio.

He called on interested candidates to secure application forms from the secretaries to district service commissions or the Public Service Commission, adding that they should also fill in the Uganda Police recruitment bio-data forms from the offices of the district Police commanders.

In December 2017, the then Inspector General of Police Gen. Kale Kayihura, said Police were short of about 60,000 personnel to execute its mandate effectively.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly.   After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.   Can ...
