Eight police officers operating at various police posts around the city centre including Kitgum House Police Post, Nkurumah Road police post, Nile Coach/Arua Park police post, Miniprice police post and Mega Standard Supermarket Police Post are cursing like hell and crying crocodile tears after the Regional Police Commander (RPC) Kampala Metropolitan South (KMP) Hajj Siraj Bakaleke rounded them up over dosing on duty. The police officers were found dead asleep and snoring like crazy by RPC Bakaleke while he was conducting an overnight police operation around the city centre in the wee hours of Saturday morning and to make matters worse the respective OCs in charge of the stations where no were to be seen.
RPC Bakaleke bundled the Police officers on his pickup vehicle and took them to Central Police Station (CPS) where he disarmed them and charged them with neglect of duty. He also dismissed the respective OC Stations with immediate effect and directed them to report to his office for thorough disciplinary action.

RPC Bakaleke indicated that the police officers will be paraded in the police court where they will be disciplined. He said that IGP Kale Kayihura and Commander KMP Frank Mwesigwa have directed him to conduct spot checks on all police Posts to ensure that all police officers are alert and monitoring their areas of operation through the night adding that Police is mandated to protect the lives and properties of all Ugandans.
Meanwhile he commended the Police officers and OC Stations operating in Entebbe for being alert and successfully implementing the “Mayumba Kumi” and Village Security lookout teams.
