Special Forces Command Deputy Commander Brig. Gen Asaph Nyakikuru said Ugandan peacekeeping troops perform well because they trust President Museveni. He spoke at a ceremony where over 40 officers received promotions from the Commander-in-Chief. The military runs professional courses like Senior Command training at Kimaka. Officers join these programs based on merit rather than connections.
Nyakikuru thanked General Kainerugaba for improving the military since 2000. He praised President Museveni for creating a professional army where troops receive proper care. Fighting corruption helps soldiers receive their full benefits. Promotions motivate service members because new ranks bring more responsibilities. Chief of Staff Brig. Gen Paul Namawa told officers that this achievement belongs to everyone.
Lieutenant Colonel Sam Kabwera spoke for the newly promoted officers. He thanked the leaders for their trust. The promoted group promised to serve with integrity. President Museveni approved 500 officer promotions across the military on March 7, 2025. The Special Forces Command received 46 promotions - eighteen Lieutenant Colonels, four Majors, ten Captains, and fourteen Second Lieutenants.
