The Uganda Police has dismissed reports from different media houses appointing AIGP Maj Gen Jackson Bakasumba as the new Deputy Inspector General of Police.
Last night, there were reports that the Force’s Chief of Joint Staff Bakasumba had been elevated to replace the Late Maj Gen Paul Lokech.
However, police say the reports are false and baseless.
“We shall effectively inform the public through our proven communication channels, once the position of DIGP is filled, by the Appointing Authority,” the statement continues.
We contacted a source from State House regarding the appointment of Bakasumba and the source dismissed the claims as well.
“Not true, we have not seen such an appointment from mzee (The president),” the source said.
