Members of Parliament (MPs) have faulted President Museveni for taking too long to act on former Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura yet he had enough evidence to show that Police was not being managed well.
Paul Amoru, MP Dokolo North said that the new IGP, Martin Okoth Ochola has already admitted that the Police training syllabus needs to overhauled.
“The new IGP admitted that they need to change the training syllabus. They need to look at the instructors and see if they are really up to the task,” Amoru said.
“It is said that the IGP trusted some people he thought would do the work when they could not,” Micheal Mawanda Igara East MP said.
The MPs were speaking after Wednesday’s meeting on security they had with president Museveni.
This comes after Museveni recently remarked that Gen Kayihura had crippled Police structures and operations by relying on militia groups who often fed Police with wrong intelligence information.
Gen Kayihura is currently detained at the residence of the commandant of Military Police at Makindye army barracks. He was arrested from his country home in Kashagama in Lyantonde District on June 13.
