Uganda Police Force have carried out drills in anticipation of Kenya-like protests in urban areas due to the rising cost of living.
Police’s directorates, like Field Force Unit and Counter Terrorism Directorate, held joint drills at a training facility in Kigo, Wakiso District, yesterday where they both displayed their capabilities to deal with terror attacks and protests at the same time.
The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Maj Gen Geoffrey Katsigazi, personally witnessed the drills.
Police spokesperson Fred Enanga yesterday told Endigyito radio that several groups, including those from the opposition, are holding secret meetings with the intention of rallying their members to carry out street protests.
Enanga said they will deal firmly with any uprising.
