President Yoweri Museveni has passed out 203 professional graduate cadets at Uganda’s Military Academy in Kabamba.
The cadets included those who completed a degree from Makerere University alongside their training, those who finished the officer course, and professionals like engineers and doctors who underwent six months of military training.
“In the past, the big problem was having an army of illiterate people, yet fighting requires knowledge. Congratulations to the graduates, and I thank the UPDF for its continued professional development. I welcome the cadets and instructors from South Sudan, Rwanda, and other brotherly East African countries.
I urged the new officers to avoid corruption. It is unnecessary and pollutes their records. With the current salary improvements, there is no reason to engage in corrupt practices. I commend the Ministry of Defence and the commanders, led by the CDF, for their efforts in turning military training institutions into centres of excellence,” a jovial President Museveni stated .
