Uncertainty and whispers of discontent have emerged within the security circles as the contract of Brig. Gen. Christopher Ddamulira, Director of police’s Crime Intelligence, expired without renewal by the appointing authority.
Sources within public service indicate that Ddamulira’s contract, which began on September 1, 2019, officially ended on September 1, 2024, but no formal extension or renewal has been announced.
Ddamulira, born on February 27, 1974, has been instrumental in shaping Uganda’s crime intelligence system, leading various high-profile security operations, including efforts to re-organize ghetto youths, a group often linked to criminal activities in the past.
His leadership has been widely credited for stabilizing crime intelligence, earning him respect within the security sector.
Despite his extensive contributions, his future within the force remains uncertain, with speculation mounting over why his contract has not been renewed.
As one of the key figures in Uganda’s security apparatus, his tenure has been marked by notable achievements, and his departure could leave a significant gap in crime intelligence operations.
Meanwhile, it has also emerged that the contract of another top police official, Haruna Isabirye, is set to expire on November 22, 2024. With no clear indication of whether Isabirye’s contract will be renewed, there is growing speculation about potential changes in leadership at the top levels of Uganda’s security agencies.
