The Inspector General of Police, Martin Okoth Ochola is on Friday officially retiring senior police officers from the force.

Senior police officers sendoff

The contracts of the above eight senor police officers expired in March 2022, two years after they were renewed.

Their applications for renewal of contracts were submitted but rejected for approval by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni who is the appointing authority.

Other AIGPs waited for renewal of their contracts ever since former IGP Gen Edward Kale Kayihura was sacked in March 2018. They were told that [Gen] Kayihura had frustrated their contracts for unknown reasons but to their surprise, the situation has remained the same two years after [IGP] Ochola took over.

A police contract can be renewed for another three years (initially) and thereafter for two more years. If an officer who is 45 years old and above is promoted to the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police, he resigns from the police and he or she serves on contract.
