Museveni appoints Ogwal as deputy DPP
Kampala.
President Museveni has appointed Mr Charles Elem Ogwal as the Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, a position that has been vacant for more than a year.
Mr Ogwal replaces Ms Damalie Lwanga, who was appointed a judge of the High Court last year.

Prior to the appointment, he was serving as Assistant DPP in charge of international affairs and field operations.
Mr Ogwal will be responsible for the coordination and supervision of all criminal prosecution cases countrywide and ensure provision of quality services.
