<\/figure>\n\n\n\nPresiding over the ceremony, the Commandant Senior Command and Staff College (SCSC) Kimaka, Brigadier General Michael Kabango, urged the officers to appreciate the weight of responsibility entrusted to them in their new roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are going into positions where your decisions will have far-reaching consequences on lives and careers. This responsibility is not small, and it demands fairness, integrity and a deep respect for justice,\u201d said Brig Gen Kabango.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He challenged the officers to remain mindful of those whose voices may not be easily heard within the system, noting that justice must be both done and seen to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs you take up these duties, always reflect on whether your actions promote justice and protect the dignity of those you serve,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In her remarks, the Commandant Legal Training Centre, Colonel Susan Mwanga, said the training was critical to strengthening the administration of justice within the UPDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThese officers will play a central role in the justice process, from the initiation of trials to their conclusion, particularly on the side of the government. Their work is essential to ensuring discipline and accountability in the force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ceremony was attended by senior and junior UPDF officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Editor:msserwanga@gmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Editor:msserwanga@gmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Uganda Peoples\u2019 Defence Forces (UPDF) closed an induction training course for Court Martial Chairpersons, Prosecutors and Members at the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16464,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/court-2.jpeg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":16399,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/chairpersons-of-the-court-martial-military-prosecutors-urged-to-uphold-justice\/","url_meta":{"origin":16463,"position":0},"title":"Chairpersons of the Court Martial, military prosecutors urged to uphold justice","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"February 4, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Chairpersons of the Court Martial and military prosecutors have been urged to uphold fairness, impartiality and justice in the administration of military law in order to strengthen discipline and professionalism within the Uganda Peoples\u2019 Defence Forces (UPDF). he call was made by the Joint Staff Training and Doctrine, Brigadier General\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "National News"","block_context":{"text":"National News","link":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/category\/national-news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Some-of-Updf-Generals-in-a-group-photo-with-Senior-officers-Junior-officers-during-the-opening-of-induction-training-course.JPG-1600x800-1.jpg","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Some-of-Updf-Generals-in-a-group-photo-with-Senior-officers-Junior-officers-during-the-opening-of-induction-training-course.JPG-1600x800-1.jpg 1x, https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Some-of-Updf-Generals-in-a-group-photo-with-Senior-officers-Junior-officers-during-the-opening-of-induction-training-course.JPG-1600x800-1.jpg 1.5x, https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Some-of-Updf-Generals-in-a-group-photo-with-Senior-officers-Junior-officers-during-the-opening-of-induction-training-course.JPG-1600x800-1.jpg 2x, https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Some-of-Updf-Generals-in-a-group-photo-with-Senior-officers-Junior-officers-during-the-opening-of-induction-training-course.JPG-1600x800-1.jpg 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":16610,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/updf-15-marine-brigade-graduates-53-soldiers-in-coxswain-and-maritime-training\/","url_meta":{"origin":16463,"position":1},"title":"UPDF 15 Marine Brigade Graduates 53 Soldiers in Coxswain and Maritime Training","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"March 3, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"The Uganda Peoples\u2019 Defence Forces 15 Marine Brigade has passed out 53 soldiers who completed training in Coxswain Level II and Maritine Basic Induction Coxswain Maritime Sustainment Base Ntokolo in Mayuge District.
