@AntiGraft_SH@ODPPUGANDA@PoliceUg@CID1_UG Madam Barungi should know that half of the complaints received at State House Anti Corruption Unit are mostly related to corruption in land and of which most of these citizens go to State House Anti Corruption Unit as their last hope and indeed they have been given hop.
But which kind of a leader doesnt know or understand that land matters are one of the most corrruption infected areas & thats where the State HouseAnti CorruptionUnit @AntiGraft_SH comes in so this woman attacking other institutions doing their work is uncalled for! @ODPPUGANDA

The Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) has commissioned Ruhengyere Army Primary School in Kayonza Parish, Kikatsi Sub-county, Nyabushozi County, Kiruhura District.
The school is among the UPDF’s formal education institutions under the Special Force Command (SFC), established to bring essential education services closer to military personnel and the surrounding population. Presiding over the commissioning, the Joint Staff Formal Education, Sports and Culture, Brigadier General Richard Karemire, commended the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, for prioritising the welfare of soldiers and their families through investments in education.
“The construction of this entire school campus would not have been possible without the support of our Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who has consistently emphasised the welfare of soldiers and their families, including supporting education initiatives,” Brig Gen Karemire said.
Brig Gen Karemire said that Ruhengyere Army Primary School is one of the 53 education institutions established by the UPDF to provide quality education, primarily to the children of serving soldiers, allowing their parents to focus on their core responsibility of defending the country.
He added that the schools also benefit neighbouring communities, observing that pupils from the civilian community currently outnumber the children of soldiers at the School.
“That is not a problem because, ultimately, we are educating Ugandans,” he said. According to Brig Gen Karemire, the commissioning reflects the commitment of the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs and the UPDF to addressing challenges facing army schools. He added that the UPDF would continue working closely with the Ministry of Education and Sports to improve learning conditions in military-founded schools.
The Chairperson of the School Management Committee and Commander of the Commando Brigade, Colonel CK Masembe, said the school was established in 2022 by Maj (Rtd) Julius Bamanya.
He explained that it initially operated from a cookhouse, makeshift structures and classrooms conducted under tree shades before the UPDF’s Formal Education, Sports and Culture assumed its management in 2023. Col Masembe said that following a directive from the Chief of Joint Staff, the SFC leadership identified a suitable site for the school, paving the way for the construction of the current facilities.
The school’s head teacher, Warrant Officer Class Two Lubyayi, said the institution has registered steady growth, attributing its progress to the support of the SFC Education Desk and the UPDF leadership.
He said construction of the classroom blocks began in December 2025 and was completed in January 2026. The school now has three classroom blocks, comprising seven classrooms in total, as well as an administration block.
The ceremony was attended by the Director of Education, Sports and Culture in the SFC, Col Gilbert Owamagyezi; the Commander of 3 Dumisha Brigade, Lt Col Gabriel Lomongin; senior and junior officers, community leaders, political representatives and parents.
A total of 316 Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) personnel have completed the Military Police Level III Course Intake 19/26 at the Military Police Training School in Masindi. The pass-out ceremony was officiated by Major General William Bainomugisha, who urged the personnel to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during the course with professionalism, integrity, impartiality and dedication in the execution of their duties.
“The knowledge and skills you have acquired during this course should be reflected in your conduct and performance. Execute your duties with professionalism, integrity, impartiality and dedication as you uphold the values of the UPDF and serve as role models worthy of emulation,” Maj Gen Bainomugisha said.
Maj Gen Bainomugisha commended the Commandant, instructors and support staff for their dedication and commitment to delivering quality training, saying their efforts continue to contribute to the transformation and professionalism of the UPDF. The Commandant of the Military Police Training School, Lt Col Bernard Mugwanya Kisule, urged the personnel to effectively apply the knowledge and skills acquired during the course in the field to avoid unnecessary mistakes and accomplish their missions successfully.
“Training prepares you for the challenges you will encounter in the field. Put into practice what you have learnt, maintain confidence in your abilities and always execute your duties professionally,” Lt Col Mugwanya said.
He thanked the UPDF leadership and the Joint Staff Training and Doctrine for their continued support towards the successful conduct of the course and commended the instructors for their commitment and hard work throughout the training..
The ceremony was attended by commanders from the Military Police Brigade, the Division Political Commissar, instructors and other invited guests.
