Former Inspector General of Police, General Kale Kayihura, is scheduled to retire from the Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF) in August, as confirmed by UPDF spokesperson Brig Gen Felix Kulayigye in a statement this afternoon.

Kayihura is among 11 generals who have received approval from the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces to retire from the army.

While facing charges at the General Court Martial, recent reports circulated regarding a meeting between the General Court Martial and President Museveni concerning the criminal charges against Kayihura. These reports stated that Museveni agreed to drop the charges against him.
