UGANDA TIGHTENS DOMESTIC SECURITY FOR ALL

The new police chief steps up efforts to curb crime in Uganda by making crucial changes in the police force. Uganda as a nation which is highly relied on to ensure security in the horn of Africa has recently suffered a number of domestic security setbacks despite fulfilling their duties on the international stage. Crimes of kidnappings unfamiliar to the Ugandan populations and a variety others have been spreading recently but with the introduction of a new police chief and a brigadier general for his assistant new measures have been taken to close the gap between the public and security organs. The following emergency toll free lines have been made available to all whether Ugandan or non Ugandan. Any body living in Uganda, traveling to Uganda, have or might have someone traveling to Uganda, will surely need to have these numbers noted as they are meant to ensure instant response other than the 999 which might take long.
