The Chief of Defence Forces-CDF Gen. Wilson Mbadi has called on the Special Forces Command-SFC and the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) at large to always ensure that they work for the good of Uganda. Mbadi made the call during the handover ceremony of the office of the Commander of SFC, which took place at the SFC headquarters in Entebbe.
The outgoing SFC Commander, Brig. Gen. Felix Busizoori handed over to Brig. Gen. David Mugisha. “We must always be very serious whenever we are given assignments. This will enable the President to achieve the broader mission,” Mbadi said.
He called on security personnel to work together to continue keeping Uganda peaceful and wished Mugisha the best of luck while conducting his work. He reminded him and the SFC of the need to fulfill the tactical obligations in the force.
He noted that security is always demanding and that training should be a priority because it improves soldiers’ efficiency. Mbadi also thanked Brig. Busizoori for the work he has done in his short term as the commander SFC. In his speech, Busizoori observed that SFC was created to accomplish specific missions in UPDF that’s why it has received training both locally and abroad.
He said during his short period as SFC commander, the force has played a role in the control of the COVID-19 pandemic, constructed 102 housing units with additional 80 units pending completion, successful VIP protection, renovation, and completion of Lunnyo barracks, construction of a driving simulator, among others.
