Newly appointed Inspector General of Police Mr Okoth Ochola yesterday Monday transferred senior officers in the new police reshuffle.
This follows Gen Kale Kayihura’s sacking where President Yoweri Museveni appointed Ochola as the new IGP, replacing his former boss.
In a letter dated March 5th and addressed to the Directorate of Human resource, Superintendent of Police (SP) Patrick Onyango is the new Public Relations Officer (PRO) for Kampala Metropolitan Police (KMP).
