We wish to inform the Public that two Police Officers, attached to the ‘’999’’ response system, have been charged with discreditable conduct in the Police disciplinary court, for allegedly helping staff of Platinum Finance Services to attach, a motor vehicle, Reg no. UBB 033Y, Hiace Drone, that was parked at Mamu Garage, over an unpaid debt from its owner, Kyarimpa Deogratius.
The two officers who include; Sgt Lokomol Joseph, the car commander and Sgt Mutenya Joseph, left their patrol beat on the 04.07.2023, at around 10:00am, without seeking clearance from the commander 999 systems or the Police controller, they abused their authority, by helping to unlawfully impound a motor vehicle from a garage, without a court order.
We strongly condemn such acts of impurity in the Force. As an organization we expect the high levels of discipline and professionalism, from every Police officer. We continue to be transparent with our actions to the Public, whom we protect and serve.
Therefore, all officers who chose to act in such discreditable manner, will definitely find no place in the Uganda Police Force. Upon conviction the disciplinary charge attracts punishment under the Police code of conduct, that ranges from a reprimand to a dismissal from the Force.
The motor vehicle was recovered from the parking yard of Platinum Finical Services at Banda, and parked at Old Kampala station, pending a handover to the owner or Mamu garage
