The Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) has recruited 62 applicants in the Sebei sub-region of eastern Uganda as part of a nationwide exercise.

Col James Barigye Rukundo, head of Team Seven for Karamoja and Sebei region, announced that 22 successful recruits came from Kapchorwa, 22 from Kween district, and 18 from Bukwo, making a total of 62, including 12 female recruits.

The recruitment exercise was conducted at the Kapchorwa recruitment centre.

Col Rukundo noted that many shortlisted candidates were disqualified due to medical issues, discrepancies in their academic transcripts, and National Identity Cards, among other reasons.

He emphasised that the exercise was conducted fairly, based on merit, and the target was achieved.

Seven applicants were arrested for possessing fake documents and are being held at Kapchorwa Police Station for further investigation.

The Resident District Commissioner for Kween, ASP (Rtd) Hope Atuhaire, and the regional whip for Sebei sub-region urged the recruits to remain committed and patriotic to complete their training and serve their country, Uganda.

Hon. Chebet Evelyne, Kapchorwa District Chairperson, cautioned the recruits against desertion after joining the force.

She encouraged applicants who did not qualify not to lose hope, as there are many opportunities available in both the government and private sectors.

The day-long exercise was attended by senior district officials from across the sub-region.

The team will conduct similar exercises for shortlisted applicants from Sironko district at Sironko district headquarters on Tuesday, 9 July 2024, and Bulambuli district on Wednesday, 10 July 2024, at the same venue.
