From today and forever more ALL Ugandan Police Officers will wear their name tags on their right chest pocket. They must also wear their police badge and number on their left chest pocket. Finally, all Ugandan citizens have the right to demand the name and badge number of any arresting officer. If they do not respond, you have the right to resist arrest.

It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that I announce the passing of His Majesty the Omukama of Tooro, King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, at approximately 10:00 p.m. this evening.
