By Kenneth Wamatoyi



Residents of the Kiira Region, including those from Jinja City and District, together with the joint security management team led by RPC Kiira, SSP Charles Nsaba, have honoured SSP Dr. Monday Johnson Agaba for his outstanding service and exemplary leadership during his tenure as the Regional CID Officer for Kiira Region.

This tribute was paid during a colourful official handover ceremony held on the evening of Wednesday, May 28, at the regional headquarters. Many in attendance commended Dr. Monday for his vision, professionalism, and impartial approach in handling cases and delivering justice to victims and their families in Jinja.

“Dr. Monday has been instrumental in ensuring effective and efficient case file management and creating a positive work environment that will continue even after his departure,” remarked RPC SSP Charles Nsaba.

“It will take time for the Kiira Regional Police Command to adjust to his absence,” observed Regional HR Specialist, SSP Andrew Muzira.

Dr. Monday has left a lasting legacy in Jinja, according to Reacheal Wambuzi, a news correspondent with the Uganda Radio Network (URN). She vividly recalled how he relentlessly pursued justice in the case involving the alleged murder of a street man by a fisheries officer from Nakaseke District, among many others.

Under the supervision of RPC SSP Charles Nsaba, Dr. Monday made significant contributions in reducing capital offences such as murder, aggravated torture, robbery, and human trafficking. He also played a key role in promoting and protecting human rights, and led efforts against gender-based violence and violence against children.

The media, NGOs, civil society organizations, the business community, political leaders, clergy, the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP), and the Judiciary have all praised Dr. Monday for his strategic and collaborative partnerships.

In his appreciation message, Dr. Monday commended the media in Jinja and the wider Busoga sub-region for their impartiality and active role in supporting the police to fight crime, promote transparency, ensure accountability, uphold good governance, and support government programs such as the Parish Development Model (PDM).

“Jinja has very supportive, hardworking, and committed journalists with a transformative mindset,” he remarked.

He also extended his gratitude to the top security leadership, strategic stakeholders, and the general public for creating a hospitable and professionally conducive working environment.

Dr. Monday made special mention of the strategic command, guidance, and support he received from the top police leadership led by IGP Mr. Abbas Byakagaba and Director CID, AIGP Tom Magambo. He acknowledged their continued trust in his abilities and commitment to serve the country.

“In a special way, I thank my boss, the RPC, for his able leadership and guidance during my tenure. To all my colleagues and the entire security team—thank you for your teamwork and dedication. I urge you to extend the same support to my successor,” he said.

Dr. Monday now proceeds to Elgon Region in the same capacity. His successor in Kiira Region is D/SSP Milton Beigumamu.

According to SP James Mubi, the Kiira Region Police Spokesperson, other notable officers transferred to the region include:

  • SP Victoria Namuli – Regional Community Liaison Officer (CLO)
  • SP Robert Mbabazi – Regional Logistics Officer
  • D/SP Patrick Okello – Deputy Regional CID Officer
  • D/SP Loy Gift Namono – OC CID, CPS Jinja Central
  • D/SP James Ngwede – OC CID, Kiira North (Buwenge)
  • D/ASP Eseza Nabutono – Regional CID Staff
  • ASP Rogers Namanya – OC Traffic, CPS Jinja Central

“Our heartfelt congratulations to all the incoming and outgoing officers on their well-deserved appointments. We wish them all the best in their future endeavours,” SP Mubi added.
