Reliable sources within security have intimidated to Parrots UG that the president who is also the commander-in-chief has appointed a Somali Commando and former Special Forces Commander Maj Gen. Don Nabasa, the new commander of military police in a mini reshuffle.
The appointment comes at a time when Uganda is faced with terror threats and in less than three days, the country has recorded at least two suspected bomb explosions, the first one being on Saturday October 23, 2021, which occured at a pork joint in Komamboga Kampala and the latest being on October 25, 2021, when a similar explosion hit a passsenger bus under Swift safaris LTD along the Masaka-Mbarara highway. Both incidences have claimed lives and caused many human injuries.
Maj. Gen. Nabasa has been the Ugandan contigent in Somalia, under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), he replaces Brig. Gen. Keith Katungi, who has been the commander of military police.
The two were reshuffled interchangably.
He (Nabasa) has commanded Uganda’s troops in Somalia for a period of one year.
He also served as the Commander of SFC, before being being appointed the Special Forces Component Commander in Soamlia in 2014.
While in Somalia as the Special Forces Component Commander, Maj Gen Nabasa was influential in the military capture of Somali major towns like Barawe from the Al-Shabab.
