The Chief of Staff Land Forces of the UPDF, Major General Leopold Kyanda has given an interactive lecture to the Local Defence Unit personnel undergoing refresher training at Kakiri Barracks, where he urged the trainees to work towards being citizens with reputable images. 

He thanked the trainees for the commendable work they have done in fighting criminality in Kampala metropolitan policing area despite a few isolated cases of indiscipline that he referred to as very grave act against  the good image of the force. 

“In the UPDF, we have no space for any form of indiscipline; there is no amount of indiscipline that is small to us. A mere abusive language or annoying gesture to the civilians is too grave an act to do. You must work towards correcting these mistakes as you conduct your operations,” said Gen Kyanda.

He further told them that, “You are part of the UPDF and members of the larger national security structure of our country. You must therefore measure to the expected disciplinary standards.”

 Kyanda encouraged the LDUs to pay attention during every lesson delivered to them because the training material are interlinked; beneficial in conglomerate. 

“This is a very important course necessary for your ideological growth; a prime necessity in your career in the UPDF. It is important that you grasp every bit of the lessons taught because it will help you today and in the far future, not only as members working in the UPDF but also great citizens of this country,” Gen Kyanda said.

Kyanda is one of the several senior resource persons drawn to mentor the LDUs with a focus on ideological rejuvenation.

“This course is intended to inculcate and uphold in you the time-tested UPDF ideology of a Pro-People Force,” he told the trainees. 

He added that after the course, the LDUs will be able to execute their duties more effectively.
