Fred Yiga, the new Chief Political Commissar of the Police.

Inspector General of Police Gen. Edward Kale Kayihura  has appointed AIGP Fred Yiga the new Chief Political Commissar of the Police. Yiga replaces  Asuman Mugyenyi who has been moved to head the Police’s Directorate of Operations.

AIGP Yiga in the past served as the United Nations (UNMISS) commissioner of police for South Sudan for more than 10 years until early this year when he handed over to Rwanda’s Bruce Munyambo. His promotion to CPC by Kayihura follows police’s recently announced nationwide rectification’ campaign aimed at professionalizing the force.

In his letter promoting Yiga,  Kayihura , tasked him  to operationalize the Police’s Department of Political Education and aggressively work to improve the public image of the police by operationalizing the Department of information and public relations, among other things.

The impounded goods include hundreds of bicycles, paint, over 50 commuter taxis.

Meanwhile the Deputy Executive Director Judith Tukahirwa and the Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago have treated the MPs to free drama.

This after Tukahirwa attacked the mayor for not congratulating her upon her new appointment and for not notifying her of the MPs’ tour.

Lwukwago however hit back saying that he had also not been informed of her appointment, sending the two in a bitter exchange.

A city lawyer Peter Kibirango has filed an application before court seeking to be allowed to serve the minister with the petition against her appointment through the newspapers.

Kibirango says he has taken all necessary steps to effect personal service to Nantaba in vain.

The lawyer filed a petition before court challenging the decision of Parliament’s appointment’s committee that cleared her to assume the position as minister.

He wants the decision of the committee that cleared Nantaba’s appointment to be set aside because it is inconsistent with several articles of the constitution.

Kibirango argues that the committee has already pronounced itself on the matter and has no mandate to revisit its mandate.

He says the matter should have been taken to the floor of Parliament for an appeal, which wasn’t done.

Kibirango is seeking interpretation of several sections of the constitution with a view of having Nantaba’s appointment cancelled.

Lukwago says if anybody is complaining of any vacant place at the city hall, they should consult President Museveni for the over 13 vacant offices on technical side including the Deputy Executive Director.

This follows last week’s KCCA Executive Director Jennifer Musisi Ssemakula’s statement resolving not to recognize and facilitate Kidandala as the deputy lord mayor until a clear procedure of appointment is respected and approved by the Authority as the law requires.

However, Lukwago has warned those attempting to vote him out of office for another Lord Mayor to avoid doing so since its people who voted him into office and not a single person.
