Crime preventers placed under UPDF President Museveni has ordered transfer of crime preventers from police to the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF), but the decision has attracted scathing criticism from the Opposition and security experts who say it will damage the image of the army. Mr Museveni said the crime preventers, who have been working as vigilantes by giving information on crime to police, will now be a reserve force, an auxiliary force of the UPDF. The President said there will be 12 million crime preventers under the UPDF and with such a numerical strength, it would be easy to mobilise a big force to augment the army in case Uganda faces external aggression. “If anybody was to provoke a war with Uganda, I would just mobilise any number I want and we sort out that stupid person. Of course, Uganda cannot provoke any war against any African country because we are brothers. But if anybody is foolish enough to provoke us, with this 12 million, we would sort out that person,” Mr Museveni said yesterday at Lugogo in Kampala while addressing crime preventers. He asked the new police leadership under Inspector General of Police Martins Okoth Ochola to meet with the Chief of Defence Forces, Gen David Muhoozi, to make a plan to streamline operations of crime preventers. The President’s decision appears a preemptive move to thwart the impending action by the new police leadership on the status of the crime preventers. During the vetting of his appointment before Parliament early this month, Mr Ochola pledged to make drastic changes to reshape the police command structure and composition. Last week, police spokesperson Emilian Kayima said the new police leadership would determine the fate of crime preventers in the Force. President Museveni said yesterday that he had called Mr Ochola to tell him that deciding the fate of crime preventers was not his task. The transfer of crime preventers to the army has provoked sharp criticisms from various security experts and observers. They say the decision is a complete departure from the initial objective of crime prevention.
