Almost two thousand temporary police constables just finished their training at a secondary school in Kazo. These Election Special Police Constables, hired for a three-month contract, came from the districts of Kazo, Kiruhura, and Ibanda. The pass-out ceremony featured remarks from Kazo's District Police Commander, Joseph Nsabimana, who praised the recruits' discipline during the joint training program.
Local officials emphasized the importance of lawful conduct for election security. The Kazo Returning Officer, Charles Basheija, told the constables their behavior would be vital for a peaceful electoral process. Area politicians, including Kazo's LC5 Chairperson, Samuel Mugisha Katugunda, and MP Dan Atwijukire, framed the work as patriotic national service. Katugunda also asked the government to consider jobs for these people after their contracts end.
Other leaders, like Kiruhura's RDC George Bakunda and Kazo's RDC Yahaya Kakooza, challenged the group to apply their training responsibly and avoid misconduct. Kakooza specifically warned against loose talk and health risks. The event highlighted coordinated security planning for the upcoming elections, with various regional police and civic leaders in attendance.
