General Kale Kayihura is set to officially retire today from the Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF). The retirement of 11 generals, including Kayihura, was approved by President Yoweri Museveni, the Commander in Chief of the UPDF.

Additionally, 99 senior officers ranging from the rank of Major to Colonel will also transition to retired status.

Kayihura’s retirement comes a day after he was acquitted of all charges against him by the General Court Martial.
