A total of 130 officers Ugandan Police officers have sat for United Nations (UN) interviews ahead of an opportunity to work in the Mission to advance their experience and policing at the International level.
The assessment exercise that had 42 female and 88 male police officers was convened at the Management Training and Advisory Centre (MTAC) building in Nakawa, Kampala, on Tuesday.
The officers were subjected to written interviews that were conducted by officials from UN SAAT Coordinator, Eya Mahadeen, from the UN headquarters based in New York and Wafa Ben El Ayara based at the UN Integrated Transition Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS).
Mahadeen said the assessment will be conducted in five stages. He emphasised cooperation, compliance and strict adherence to the rules and regulations to avoid disqualification.
“Those who will qualify will get an opportunity to serve with UN mission, something that will be a life-changer professionally from the experience acquired and financial status,” he stressed.
According to the head of Peace and Support Operations, Commissioner of Police Martin Amoru, Uganda Police officers perform tremendous tasks assigned because most of them are hardworking, social, responsible and extremely experienced.
Amoru reiterated that the officers that will qualify are to be deployed in the UN Mission in South Sudan, with a two-year validity.
