MUHOOZI REPLACES KATUMBA WAMALA AS CHIEF OF DEFENSE FORCES (CDF)

Gen. Katumba who less than a week ago survived being killed by suicide bombers in Somalia has been replaced by Maj Gen David Muhoozi the former head of the UPDF Land Forces. He is the ninth UPDF boss.

Ironically in 2013 when Gen. Katumba became the eighth military boss, he was replaced by then Brig Muhoozi who was been promoted to Major General. He had been the commander of air defence division in Nakasongola.

Maj Gen Mbadi who was tipped to replaced Katumba has been elevated to the Deputy Chief of Defence Forces’ position.

Museveni’s son Maj Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has been appointed Special Presidential Advisor.

Brigadier Peter Elweru commanded the operation that oversaw UPDF Commandos raid Rwenzururu palace and capture King Wesley Mumbere has been promoted to Major General and leaves the Mbarara 2nd Division commander’s job to takeover new CDF Maj Gen David Muhoozi’s old job as Land Forces head.
