Arthur Mugyenyi stepped into his role as Director General of Internal Security Organisation during a Tuesday ceremony in Kampala. Security Minister Jim Muhwezi oversaw the handover event. Mugyenyi replaces Col. Emmy Katabazi, who served temporarily after Brig. Gen. Charles Oluka died in January. Katabazi moves to a diplomatic position as Deputy Ambassador.

Minister Muhwezi praised both incoming leaders at the ceremony. He expressed confidence in their ability to restore ISO to prominence despite the difficult challenges ahead. President Yoweri Museveni appointed Mugyenyi earlier this month alongside Tony Kinyera Apecu as Deputy Director General. The leadership change comes as Uganda focuses more on domestic security threats.

Mugyenyi brings extensive intelligence experience to his new position. His deputy, Apecu, previously worked as a senior analyst for the President and earned a Master's degree in Public Policy from the University of York. Their arrival marks a fresh start for the organization after several leadership changes.
