SFC hails Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba for developing the elite unit

 

The Special Forces Command (SFC) has hailed their outgoing commander, Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba for working towards the development of the elite unit.

President Museveni, who is also the commander in chief of the armed forces on Thursday appointed Gen Muhoozi as the new Commander Land Forces in the UPDF and replaced him with Brig Gen Peter Candia as the new SFC commander, whereas Brig Felix Busizoori was appointed the new deputy.

In a statement released on Saturday, Special Forces Command spokesperson, Maj Jimmy Omara hailed the outgoing commander for helping improve and develop the Force.

“To our outgoing commander, Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, we would like to thank him for laying a very strong foundation for the development of SFC. He is leaving behind a better Force that is able to complement the activities of the UPDF,”Maj Omara said.

Brig Gen Peter Candia is the new SFC commander.

“During his time, a lot of infrastructural and human development took place even with the limited resource envelope. He is very passionate about soldiers’ welfare and has zero-tolerance to corruption.”

The SFC spokesperson said the unit wishes the best for the outgoing commander who has been elevated to become the Commander Land Forces in the UPDF.

Lt Gen Muhoozi now heads to the new deployment with experience emanating from his vast knowledge and background in special operations that he is expected to use to augment the Land Forces

Many, especially those with knowledge about developments at the Land Forces headquarters say Muhoozi’s appointment will further help to streamline the administration at Bombo.
