Uganda's military has formed a special team to examine recent bomb threats and attacks around Kampala. The group will look into claims that some security workers created fake incidents to obtain money for anti-terrorism work. Lt Gen Sam Okiding leads the investigation team that contains top officials from police and intelligence agencies. Military sources say leaders became worried about conflicting reports about the Allied Democratic Forces terrorist group. Some operatives may have exaggerated or staged events to justify asking for more funding.
The investigation board will examine operational reports and financial requests from the past six months. Members will question officials from police and military intelligence units about their activities. Security experts worry that people inside the system might compromise operations for personal gain. The board started meeting at Mbuya military headquarters after internal checks found problems. Public attention has grown around security incidents reported in Kampala neighborhoods.
Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba ordered the probe after audits revealed irregularities. The investigation represents one of the most serious internal reviews of Uganda's anti-terrorism operations in recent years. Officials confirmed the board has begun preliminary sessions to gather evidence. The findings will go directly to the Chief of Defence Forces for review. Confirmed wrongdoing could result in major disciplinary actions against those involved.
