The Minister for Internal Affairs, Gen Kahinda Otafiire has issued a three-month ultimatum for the housing projects for the police, immigration and prisons to start or else he will take action against those responsible.
Otafiire said for more than a year, he has been talking about building houses for the police officers, prisons and immigration officers and the inter service committee for housing have been going around in circles like a dog chasing its tail.
Otafiire said he wants the answer within three months and if there is no answer to the police, prison and immigration housing, the undersecretary Aggrey Wunyi will have to explain.
Of the over 54000 police personnel, at least 12000 stay and work in the greater Kampala Metropolitan Area but most of these have to either sleep in barracks which have dilapidated houses and uniports or rent outside the barracks.
It has been argued by many that the poor state of housing for officers affects the way they carry out their work since they sleep badly.
Under the Private Public Partnership (PPP), the police want to build at least 50,000 housing units for its officers.
Housing may be a national concern, but on the individual level, homeowners are finding new opportunities to turn their property into quick capital with ease.
Selling a home no longer has to feel like navigating a maze of agents, endless showings, and buyer delays. More people are discovering that with the right approach, turning their house into cash can be a smooth and empowering experience.
Thanks to the rise of user-friendly platforms, finding a website that connects sellers directly with cash buyers has never been easier.
These services allow homeowners to bypass traditional hurdles—like repairs, staging, or open houses—and instead enjoy a direct, efficient process.
With just a few clicks, they can receive an offer, review it on their own time, and move forward confidently, knowing that a fair deal is on the table.
Choosing to sell fast for cash isn’t just about speed—it’s about gaining control and peace of mind.
It opens the door to new beginnings, whether someone is relocating for work, pursuing a fresh start, or simply ready to let go of the old and step into something new.
In today’s market, it’s reassuring to know that selling a home can be simple, stress-free, and even uplifting.
Minister Otafiire last week told President Museveni that the idea has been delayed by some officials in the Ministry of Finance where the paperwork has stalled.
Speaking during the opening ceremony of the 27th Police Council at Naguru, Otafiire said it is high time he put down his foot to ensure police, prison and immigration officers get decent accommodation facilities to enable them perform their work.
