The Commander Land Forces Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has told officers that changes and transfer in the force are part and parcel of tour of duty within the military.

He reminded officers that no one in the army should ever expect to be in a position forever while presiding over the handover ceremony of the UPDF 1st Infantry Division Commander at the Division Headquarters in Kakiri, Wakiso District.

This follows transfers made by president Museveni last week that saw Maj Gen Sam Kawagga transferred to Nairobi as a defence advisor and Brig Gen Joseph Ssemwanga appointed commander of the first division.

He congratulated Maj Gen Kawagga for having successfully completed his tour of duty in the first division, adding that his appointment as a UPDF representative in Kenya is a great opportunity for him to grow his career on the Diplomacy scene.

Muhoozi equally congratulated Brig Gen Ssemwanga for his elevation to the 1 Div Commander which he said is an important position.
