Of the 64, only two come from north (includingWest Nile), three from the east and four from central region. The other 55 all come from westernUganda. The SFG is mainly responsible for the protection of the President. The Constitution requires the UPDF to be national in character, meaning recruitment; training, promotion and placement should reflect diversity ofUganda’s tribes.

Although recruitment is done openly countrywide, analysis shows the need for reforms and deliberate efforts to ensure that the army’s top positions reflect a national character. In an e-mail response on regional imbalance in SFG, Capt. Edson Kwesiga, the spokesperson, said: “UPDF recruits into the army basing on set standards such as age, level of education, fitness, among others.” But his explanation left many people wondering whether the people from westernUganda are fitter than those from Northern, Eastern or centralUganda. To be sincere, the people from northern and EasternUganda are more energetic than any other people inUganda.
