Maj Gen Don William Nabasa has assumed the command of Military Police, taking over from Brig Keith Katungi.
Katungi is now the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) contingent commander in Somalia under the Africa Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).
The two are swapping positions since Nabasa has just returned from the AMISOM role in Somalia.
The handover ceremony held at Makindye Military Police headquarters was presided over by the Deputy Chief of Defense Forces Lt Gen Peter Elwelu.
President Yoweri Museveni who is also the commander in chief of the armed forces switched the two defense chiefs in late October.
Brig Katungi assumed the office of Military Police Commander in August 2020 when he took over from Brig William Bainomugisha.
Gen Nabasa assumed the office as sector one commander in December 2020 having succeeded Brig Richard Otto.
