Director General of ISO, Kaka Byagenda Orders RISOs, DISOs and GISOs Not to Share Intelligence Information with Sister Security Agencies.

Director General of ISO, Col Frank Kaka Bagyenda.

The Director General of the Internal Security Organisation (ISO), Col Frank Kaka Bagyenda, has ordered all Regional Internal Security Officers (RISOs) to forthwith stop sharing information with the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) at all levels.

According to a Senior Operative in ISO, who Friday exclusively spoke to this news website on condition of anonymity, Col Kaka issued the directives through his Executive Assistant, Lt Col Ambako Kibrai, on Thursday during a meeting with top ISO operatives.

The source reveals that Col Kaka ordered all RISOs to ensure that District Internal Security Officers (DISOs) and GISOs comply with the directive.

“I have decided to share this so that the powers that be, understand what is happening. We cannot work in isolation. We need to work jointly with other security agencies. But Afande Kaka thinks he can be the alpha and Omega,” a senior ISO operative who attended the meeting told this news website before handing the phone to his other colleague.

The Colleague told SoftPower News that the decision to block information sharing among sister security agencies as it is being championed by the ISO boss, is selfish and may negatively impact on security operations.

“Hello. It seems Kaka wants to take us back to the Kayihura days where he (Kayihura) had taken over the entire security and relegated other security agencies to the periphery. It will not be good for us to keep queit when things are going wrong,” the colleague intimated.

Adding that, “When Kayihura was removed, security agencies started working jointly. We started carrying out joint operations again. Kaka is taking us back to the bad times of not sharing information.”

It is not clear why the ISO boss is courting divisions in security but the source said the “DG (Kaka) has issued strict orders against information sharing.”

He quoted Col Kaka’s message sent to all RISOs warning them of consequences if they continue sharing with other agencies.

“We have received various reports of a sister agency trying to solicit intel on service delivery from our field staff. Please remember that any sharing of such info MUST be authorised by Dgiso. Any unauthorised info is punishable,” reads the message.

Our efforts to reach Col Kaka for a comment on the matter were futile since his known telephone contact was out of reach.

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...

Parliament Urges Government to Provide Shs 4 Billion to Media Houses to Run Awareness Campaign on Tourism in Uganda.

Parliament also urged Gov’t to provide additional Shs4Bn to UTB to engage international and national media houses in production of positive media stories for improved destination image, following reports of drop in number of tourists from US, Europe and China visiting Uganda. "The National Development Plan targeted to cumulatively attract 281,760 International Tourist arrivals from US, Europe & China but only 67,252 arrivals were registered by the end of the first half of FY 2023/24.

However, statistics show that international arrivals from the aforementioned areas have continue to drop. The UTB requires Shs4Bn to engage international & national media houses in production of positive tourism stories to improve destination perception in light of recent controversies that shade the destination in a bad light. However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
