The Uganda Police Force through its directorates in charge of human resource administration and development have been directed to start the process of vetting all its officers and men for redeployment to avert complaints and performance shortfalls.
A committee headed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP) Okoth Ochola is mandated with such an uphill task under a new programme codenamed “Career path development”, all personnel employed under the police force have been asked to avail details a fresh of their academic qualifications, courses undertaken through police and a list of their former deployments which will be based on for redeployment.
The police spokesperson Asan Kasingye says the force has had a very poor manpower planning system since the force concentrated on recruitment of personnel with professional academic qualifications.
Kasingye says there is currently disorganisation in the police force with persons with expertise and experience misplaced into units not connected to their expertise but also there are those with criminal records who must be investigated.
The officers who have been promoted or redeployed despite being under investigations include; Wilber Wanyama, the Regional CID commander Aswa Region, the current Professional Standards Unit Commander Joel Aguma who is alleged to have illegally repatriated a Rwandan national, and James Ruhweza the Aviation Police Commander implicated in the torture of Besigye supporters among many others.
The force has a total of 48,000 officers and troops deployed in the various directorates and units. Each officer has a file in Human Resource Administration which has details of the academic qualifications and career courses as well work experience at the Police headquarters in Naguru.
