The Chief of Defence Forces, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has promoted Brigadier-General Felix Kulayigye, the Director of Defence Public Information, to the rank of Acting Major-General.
Deputy defence spokesperson Col Deo Akiiki confirmed the promotion, attributing it to Brig Gen Kulayigye’s exceptional service and exemplary role in representing the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) in the public sphere.
Gen Muhoozi praised Brig Gen Kulayigye’s efforts, stating, “His commitment to excellence in public communication has greatly contributed to the visibility and reputation of the UPDF both locally and internationally.”
This promotion marks a significant milestone in the career of Brig Gen Kulayigye, who has played a pivotal role in shaping the UPDF’s public relations strategy.
His contribution has been particularly notable in managing the image of UPDF’s foreign missions, including peacekeeping efforts in Somalia and the ongoing Operation Shujaa in the Democratic Republic of Congo to eliminate the Allied Democratic Forces.
