KAMPALA- One month after Uganda’s general election, the inspector general of police Mr Martins Okoth Ochola has shuffled 60 police officers from different departments and directorates.The officers affected range from the rank of Assistant superintendent of police to senior commissioner of police. According to the transfer list that Sunday Monitor has seen, the police officers are expected to take up the new offices with immediate effect.A source at police headquarters in Naguru in Kampala told this newspaper that during the police Advisory Committee meeting (PAC), police observed that during the election days, some officers from different regions were reluctant to enforce the Ministry of health standard operating procedures (Sops) . The source added that IGP Okoth Ochola directed the director Human Resource to make transfers and change all those officers whose areas were implicated on not observing the Sops during the campaign especially in districts where election violence registered.
