Police Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) Director Tom Rwabudongo Magambo has been promoted to the rank of Acting Lieutenant Colonel by Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
The promotion was announced on Thursday by Col. Chris Magezi, the Acting Director of Defence Public Information at the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs.
According to Magezi, Kainerugaba, who also serves as Senior Presidential Advisor for Special Operations, approved Magambo’s elevation from his previous rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP).
“The UPDF fraternity congratulates Lieutenant Colonel Magambo for the well-deserved promotion and wishes him continued success in his duties,” Magezi said in a statement.
Magambo currently heads the CID, the police department responsible for investigating criminal offences, gathering evidence and supporting the prosecution of suspects.
The UPDF statement did not disclose the circumstances surrounding the promotion or indicate whether Magambo’s new military rank would come with additional responsibilities.
Magambo’s promotion comes as he continues to lead the police’s investigations directorate.
