 The inspector General of Police Abbas Byakagaba has today visited the newly multi billion renovated CID Headquarters in Kibuli for the first time since he was appointed IGP by President Museveni.

 IGP Byakagaba stormed Kibuli in mid morning hours of 23 August 2024 and was ushered in by Director CID AIGP Tom Magambo alongside his Deputy Beata Chelmo among other officials.

 Byakagaba visited all officers including Receiption, Complaint desks, Grilling rooms, shawer rooms, offices among others.

 However sources who attended the meeting revealed to us that IGP Byakagaba promised to support CID in fighting corruption.

"The whole area looks new and am happy for the work Magambo and his team have done. It really shows value for the money. Some people are given money and do shodwy work which is part of corruption," Sources quoted IGP Byakagaba saying.
