Uganda Police Force Ranked the Kindest Police Force in the World, as IGP Ocholla Applauds All the Officers for their Commitment and Sacrifice in the Line of Duty.

Following the most recent ranking of the Uganda Police Force as the “kindest police” in the World, by the world Internal Security and Police Index (WISP), the IGP has come out to thank all officers who conducted themselves professionally, and with great restraint in the course of their duties. The ranking measured the police’s reaction to the threats faced in the performance of their duties. It included acts of provocation by the general public for instance, a man who stoned officers on lawful duty, a traffic offender who got into a scuffle with the traffic officers in the North Kyoga Region during a stop and search operation.

We have seen many other cases of unprovoked attacks applied on officers through punching, kicking, preventing or spitting on an officer, threats to officers during arrests, gun grabbing. Just last week, our male officer was grabbed by the collar and another pinned to the wall, while manning the Court of Appeal offices at Twed Towers.

We are aware of the environment we police in, where violent actors engage in a whole range of unlawful and provocative behavior that prompt officers to defend themselves in a way that leads to use of force, including firing their weapons. Fortunately enough, our officers managed to de-escalate most of the violent situations and restored calm.

The IGP continues to push for an end to the use of force in line with the directive from H.E The President, by issuing circulars encouraging officers to resolve incidents before needing to turn to a deadlier force, involving the use of a gun. We continue to renew our use of force policies and procedures, and we are exploring many options available to our frontline officers and supervisors without resorting to impact weapons or lethal force.

The UPF has zero tolerance for inappropriate or excessive use of force. All disturbing incidents of misconduct, where officers used excessive force were fully accounted for in our transparent disciplinary processes. Once again, we applaud our officers for their level of kindness and restraint. It is a huge win and we pledge to continue with our policing reforms and further review in totality, the circumstances that lead to interactions where force is used.

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...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. 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...

CAN I CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT THE INHERITANCE I RECEIVED AND ASK FOR SOMETHING ELSE ?.

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 ...
