The UPDF recruitment team 3 leader covering northern region Col. Stephen Ebulu has cautioned  youth from Northern Uganda seeking to join the UPDF to refrain from all forms of corruption.

“It is important to preach corruption in every gathering including those who want to join service of the people so that they understand and stay away from it, since it doesn’t develop the nation but rather personality,” he said.

Ebulu stressed that  when it comes to recruitment in the UPDF, youth must be well acquainted  that there is no room for corruption in the force.

He further noted  that patriots are those who are selfless and can sacrifice for others not vice versa and this is what a recruit of the UPDF must begin to train on.

“It  is totally different from the military principles because soldiers don’t work for personal gain the but the public,” Ebulu emphasised.

He told the recruits that there is no payment of money in order to join the force  and that anyone found doing it will be punished according to the law.
He also advised those who did not qualify to go back to school and live a responsible life to remain focused if they are to achieve their dreams.

More than 1000 prospective candidates turned up to compete for the sixty one slots meant for the four districts of Gulu, Amuru, Omoro and Nwoya at pace stadium.
