On 24 and 25 September 2026, I held engagements with officers in the Greater Bushenyi, Rwenzori East and Rwenzori West Police Regions. I met officers in Greater Bushenyi in Bushenyi District and Rwenzori East in Kasese District, on 24 September, before concluding the engagements today in Fort Portal City.

Our discussions focused on how to align policing with communication in the social media and digital era, using online platforms effectively to inform the public and strengthen engagement within professional boundaries.

Justice Gaswaga also guided the officers on key courtroom procedures, including proper self-introduction and the effective presentation of evidence during court proceedings. He underscored the importance of understanding court processes and being adequately prepared to discharge their responsibilities as canine handlers and witnesses.

The engagement equipped the officers with practical legal insights to strengthen their competence in presenting canine-related evidence and supporting the pursuit of justice through professional policing.

. @mkituuma "We are holding FAISAL KIMULI, a prime suspect in an online fraud scheme targeting foreign tourists through a purported car-hire and tour company, FK Car Rental.

On 16 August 2026, a Russian tourist reported to the Uganda Tourism Board that he had paid USD 2,215 to FK Car Rental for the hire of a vehicle that was never delivered. Shortly after receiving the payment, the website was taken down and all the contact numbers associated with the business were switched off.

Further complaints from other foreign tourists revealed a similar pattern, with the same operator allegedly running several online platforms advertising gorilla permits, safaris and 4×4 vehicle hire, among other tourism-related services"

This afternoon, I represented the Inspector General of Government, Lady Justice Naluzze Aisha Batala, at the Senior Command and Staff College, Bwebajja, where I delivered a lecture on “The Role of the @IGGUganda in Promoting Public Accountability.”

I engaged the officers on the critical role of the Inspectorate in promoting integrity, strengthening accountability, and fostering a culture of responsible leadership in public service.

Public accountability is essential to building public trust and ensuring that those entrusted with responsibility serve with integrity and in the best interests of the people.
