New Inspector General of Police Martins Okoth Ochola has redeployed some police directors and other senior police officers.
Ochola is making the changes five days after he officially took over from Gen. Kale Kayihura.
Some of the affected officers had been moved in the last reshuffle Gen. Kayihura made just a day before President Yoweri Museveni relieved of his duties.
Among the officers transferred, is former Head of the Police Counter Terrorism Unit, Abas Byakagaba, who returns to the same unit after serving in many dockets including replacing the late Andrew Felix Kaweesi as Director of Human resource.
According to IGP Ochola's communication, the changes take immediate effect.
