The Police Authority has resolved to retain three of the seven Assistant Inspector Generals of Police, insisting the four must retire.
Sources within the Police Authority told Eagle Online that most of the AIGPs were already serving their second mandatory contract and there was no way the authority was going renegade on its stand because the same had applied on the previous lot of retirees.
“We resolved to leave AIGP John Ndugutse who is attached to the UN-Nairobi and AIGP Francis Rwego complete their contracts with the UN and AU mission respectively but upon completion, they will proceed to retire. However, the only other person the authority considered for redeployment is AIGP Abass Byakagba because of his specialty,” said a source.
Byakagaba is the AIGP in charge of Counter Terrorism and he is credited for well seeing of his docket.
The four of the seven directors whose contract the authority says they aren’t renewing are Director Community Policing AIGP Asan Kasingye, Director Operations AIGP David Ochom, Director Welfare AIGP Andrew Solowen, AIGP Haruna Isabirye Attached to America, AIGP and AIGP Joseph Mugisa Director Fire.
Sources say that the authority declined to recommend the above for renewal because it is likely to be seen as favouring the officers and yet their predecessors were treated in a similar manner.
The Police Authority is the highest organ of the force and it is chaired by the Minister of Internal Affairs.
