Construction of 1,200 Police Housing Units Launched

The Inspector General of Police, Abas Byakagaba, has today launched the construction of 1,200 police housing apartments at Naguru barracks in Kampala.

The project, expected to be completed within 12 months, aims to provide decent accommodation to police officers and their families.

IGP Byakagaba emphasized the importance of timely delivery, urging the construction team to work efficiently.

The project is being handled by the Police Construction Unit under the Directorate of Logistics and Engineering.

“This initiative is a significant step towards improving the welfare of police officers and their families. Together with the police’s top leadership, we are focused on enhancing the overall well-being of the police force, and this project is one of those testaments to that commitment,” said IGP Abas Byakagaba.

AIGP Dr. Namutebi Hadijjah, the Director of Welfare Production and Sports, noted that the journey to this day has been shaped by collective effort, vision, and unrelenting dedication to improving the lives of those who serve our country with honor and sacrifice. Adequate housing is not a privilege—it is a right and a cornerstone of effective service delivery. When an officer lives in secure, decent accommodation, their morale is strengthened, their productivity enhanced, and their loyalty reinforced.

AIGP James Apora has assured the success and timely completion of the police housing project. He has assigned a team of dedicated engineers to oversee the construction, ensuring that the project meets its deadline and is completed to the desired standards.
