Advice to SSP Emilian Kayima and his generation

SSP Kayima showed that he knows very little about the Constitution and laws of Uganda or that UPDF is a people’s army and is under civilian authority. He does not understand that torture is absolutely prohibited in Uganda under any conditions and circumstances

Polly Namaye


Enanga and Namaye once served in the position of police spokesperson and deputy police police spokesperson respectively, but were dropped by former IGP Gen Kale Kayihura in 2016 and replaced by AIGP Andrew Felix Kaweesi who was killed in March 2017.

The duo, however, remained in the public relations office during Kaweesi's tenure and that of AIGP Asan Kasingye who took over after Kaweesi's murder.
In November 2017, SSP Kayima was appointed to replace Kasingye as police publicist but the deployment remained silent on the fate of the two officers (Enanga and Namaye), both senior in rank to Kayima.
