Just like his Rwandese and Cameroon counterparts, President Yoweri Museveni has made key changes to his military.
On Thursday, August 31, Museveni took to his official Twitter handle to congratulate and send off retiring generals from the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF).
During the event at State House, Entebbe, Museveni also commended the officers for their longtime contribution to the country’s struggle.
“The stories of these retiring generals mirror the miraculous story of the NRA struggle. We fought for a just cause, combining the correctness of the strategy and the tactics, doing it correctly without making mistakes, always taking scientific steps, and avoiding anything adventurous,” Museveni said.
Museveni who has been in power since early 1986 said their retirement should not be regarded as a redundancy but a mutation from one service to another.
“In the past, they were working for the country only, but now they can work for themselves with the entandikwa (fresh start) that the country they fought for has given them. I wish them success in the next phase of their lives,” Museveni tweeted.
