Gen Salim Saleh will preside over the event.
President Museveni this past Thursday replaced Gen Mbadi with Muhoozi.
Mbadi was appointed Minister of State in charge of trade.
During his reign as Chief of Land Forces, Muhoozi, 49, focused on enhancing the army’s combat capabilities and welfare of soldiers.
“We will be building an efficient, modern, and accountable force that can defend the sovereignty of our country at all times,” said Gen Muhoozi then.
He also promised to ensure soldiers remain healthy.
This includes promoting regular fitness exercises and training.
Regarding ideology, Muhoozi said his reign would see “intensification of political education to our officers and men.”
Gen Muhoozi will be in charge of operationalising the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) Establishment 2021, an instrument of delegated Command, Control, and Administration which provides for the powers of command and administration of UPDF.
The instrument provides a manual for the deployment, salary, training and capacity building of the forces
The UPDF Establishment 2021 document enables changes or merging of some UPDF departments, the creation of new ones, and discarding others to improve command, control and administration of the Forces.
Gen Muhoozi, who previously served as Special Forces Commander, is yet to make an official statement following his appointment as head of the army.
However, Muhoozi’s close associates say he is grateful to God and President Museveni for the elevation to serve in the highest position of the UPDF.
