Commander in Chief of the armed forces, President Yoweri Museveni has appointed Maj Gen Abel Kandiho as Chief of Joint Staff of Uganda Police Force replacing Maj Gen Jack Bakasumba who has been appointed the Ugandan Delegate to the South Sudan Peace Monitoring Mechanism.
Gen Kandiho joins a host of other UPDF officers deployed in the Police.
Last month, the former Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) boss Gen Kandiho was sent to monitor on behalf of the guarantors, the assembling, screening, demobilization, and integration of the armed forces of South Sudan. He had replaced Maj Gen James Birungi.
However, barely three weeks after the deployment, Museveni has recalled Kandiho from South Sudan and appointed him as the new Chief of Joint Staff in the Uganda Police Force.
