Former DIGP, Maj Gen Muzeeyi Sabiiti has been redeployed again by president Museveni to head Luweero industries.
After a few months on the bench at the army’s headquarter, Maj Gen Muzeeyi Sabiiti has been redeployed again by President Museveni to head Luweero industries.
Muzeeyi replaces Brig. Octavius Butuuro who has been transferred to Kimaka College in Jinja district to act as the deputy commandant of this staff college.
Luweero industries which Sabiiti is going to head is a subsidiary of the National Enterprises Corporation (NEC) the business arm of the UPDF. This firm deals in the manufacturing of rifles, ammunition and also manufacturing of spare parts of the military equipment.
Other products this firm manufactures include portable water and carpentry products, among others.
The Deputy army Spokesperson Lt Col Deo Akiiki confirmed the redeployment. Sabiiti was last year dropped as the Deputy Inspector General of Police and Maj. Paul Lokech took up his position.
This was after the 18th November Kampala riots which saw several people killed by security organs. But he remains one of the blue-eyed boys of the president.
According to rumours that were making rounds the appointing authority wasn’t happy by the way Sabiiti had handled the riots in the city.
Before joining the police as the Deputy IGP which position he took in 2018, Muzeeyi had served as the commander of the Military police and as the deputy commander for the Special Forces Command, a force mandated with the role of protecting the president and members of the first family.
The changes have come at a time when the government is still in fear of the post-election violence and this has made it to deploy all kinds of security operatives in the city centres especially Kampala.
Citizens are also still complaining about the state abductions that are happening of late and because of such illegal arrests the minister of internal affairs Maj. Jejje Odongo was tasked by parliament to explain the whereabouts of the missing Ugandans.
Odongo accounted for only 44 Ugandans who he said some are out on bail while others are still in custody over various security issues.
