The Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has appointed Brig. Gen. Chris Bagonza as the new UPDF Chief of Staff of the Land Forces at the Headquarters in Bombo.
Brig. Bagonza was hitherto the Deputy Joint Staff Human Resource Management at the Joint UPDF Services Headquarters, Mbuya in Kampala.
He replaces Brig. Gen. Michael Kabango, recently deployed as Commandant of the Senior Command and Staff College, Kimaka in Jinja.
A media handout which includes photos of the officers on new assignments states that the CDF also appointed Colonel Nelson Ahebwa as the Deputy Joint Staff Chief Political Commissar of the UPDF, headed by Maj. Gen. Henry Masiko.
"The UPDF fraternity congratulates the General and senior officers upon their well-deserved appointments and wishes them good luck in their duties," states the April 30th media release by Col. Chris Magezi, the acting Director of Defence Public Information.
The new assignments come a few days after the CDF appointed new commandants at UPDF's Senior Command and National Defence Colleges.
The April 22 media release announced the appointment of Brig. Gen. Alex Opolot Olupot as the new Commandant of the National Defence College Uganda (NDC-U) in Jinja.
On the same day, Brig. Gen. Michael Kabango, the Chief of Staff Land Forces, was named as the new Commandant of the Senior Command and Staff College (SCSC), Kimaka, Jinja.
He replaced Major General George Igumba set to retire from active service.
