President Yoweri Museveni, the Commander-In-Chief of armed forces has appointed his blue-eyed boy Maj Gen Don Nabasa as the new commander of Military Police.
Maj Gen Nabasa has been a contingent commander in Somalia under AMISOM for about a year before his new deployment.
His appointment comes at the time when the country is beginning to experience domestic terrorism attacks.
In a swap, Brig Keith Katungi, who has been the commander of military police, will now replace Maj Gen Nabasa as the contingent commander in Somalia.
The deputy defense spokesperson Lt. Col Ronald Kakulungu confirmed the new development.
Prior to being sent to Somalia, Nabasa served as the commander of the Special Forces Command (SFC), an elite unit that is responsible for the security of the President of Uganda and special operations.
He was replaced by Maj Gen James Birungi as the SFC commander.
Maj Gen Don Nabasa was later sent for a one- year training course at the National Defence College in China and after completing the training in August last year, he was sent to Somalia to succeed Brig. Richard Otto as the Contingent Commander of the Ugandan troops serving under the AMISOM.
