At
least 3000 police officers are to provide security during Buganda Kingdom
Jubilee celebrations scheduled for Tomorrow. They include Traffic, Operations,
and Field Force Police, and Canine, Counter terrorism and Crime Intelligence Personnel.
The
police officers will be reinforced by operatives from sister security agencies
like the Military Police, Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence and the Internal
Security Organization. The deployment plan was finalized last week by
commanders of the various units under Kampala Metropolitan Police and the
security team from Buganda Kingdom.
Some
of the officers, especially crime Intelligence and Counter terrorism personnel
have already taken position at Lubiri Palace and its surrounding areas. Moses
Kafeero, the Kampala Metropolitan Police Commander, has asked the celebrants to
be security alert and inform police in case of any suspicions.
The
police medical service has also deployed about 10 nurses to man 10 ambulances
in case of any emergency cases during the celebrations. The Counter terrorism
teams will be in charge of all entry points to the palace.
The
Silver Jubilee celebrations mark 25 years since Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi
ascended to the throne.
