Deputy CDF Okiding hails parade discipline ahead of Liberation Day.

Lt. Gen. Sam Okiding, the Deputy Chief of Defence Forces, has commended security forces for improving discipline and coordination as Uganda prepares to mark Liberation Day on Monday.

Speaking at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds after inspecting parade rehearsals, Lt. Gen. Okiding said earlier shortcomings in the drills had been addressed and expressed confidence that the country would stage a flawless national celebration. He said some simple mistakes had been corrected and that the drill was now good, precise and beautiful.

He encouraged officers to maintain the momentum, noting that rehearsals must continue so that by Monday, Uganda would have the best possible parade on Liberation Day. Lt. Gen. Okiding thanked the forces for being good Ugandans with a clear vision for the future and urged them to remain proud of their service. He also commended Ugandans for protecting the country’s gains, avoiding reckless actions, and choosing the right path.

Describing Uganda as a God-fearing nation, the Deputy CDF emphasised the importance of discipline, citing Proverbs 19:3 and reminding officers that many conflicts are caused by human actions. He noted that every corner of Uganda is peaceful and calm because of the collective sweat and sacrifice of all those who serve. The inspection brought together officers from the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF), the Uganda Police Force, the Uganda Prisons Service and the Uganda Wildlife Authority, as preparations for the national celebrations enter their final phase.

Lt. Gen. Okiding was received by Maj. Gen. James Kinalwa and Maj. Gen. Felix Kulaigya. The Inspector General of Police was represented by Assistant Inspector General of Police Jesse Kamunanwire, while the Commissioner General of Prisons was represented by Assistant Commissioner General of Prisons John Bosco Tumwebaze. Other senior officers present included SCP Frank Mayanja Baine, ACP Mary Centenary and SP Ambrose Tugume. Liberation Day, marked annually on January 26, commemorates the 1986 victory of the National Resistance Army (NRA), which ended years of political instability and ushered in the current government.
p>The day is observed with military parades, cultural performances and national reflection, and is seen by the government as a reminder of the country’s journey towards peace, stability and socio-economic transformation.
