The Secretary-General of the @commonwealthsec , Her Excellency Shirley @AyorkorBotchwey, today visited the @mia_uga Headquarters in Kampala, where she was received by the Minister of Internal Affairs, Hon. Prof. @KamuntuProf
Discussions focused on potential areas of Commonwealth support to Uganda, particularly the deployment of improved technology systems to enhance national security and strengthen the Ministryโs capacity to respond effectively to emerging security challenges.
The meeting also explored opportunities for capacity building across various sectors, with emphasis on knowledge and skills exchange. Such cooperation is expected to contribute to strengthening institutional capacity, improving professional expertise and supporting Ugandaโs efforts to modernise its security systems.
The engagement highlights the Commonwealthโs potential role in supporting member states through technical expertise, innovation and professional development. For Uganda, enhanced technological capabilities and skills development could improve coordination, efficiency and preparedness in addressing evolving security threats.
Among those present were Hon. @adoniaayebare, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Lt. Gen. Joseph Musanyufu, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Internal Affairs; and Can. Dr. Johnson Byabashaija, Commissioner General of the Uganda Prisons Service, among other senior government officials.
The visit therefore represents an important step toward deepening cooperation between Uganda and the Commonwealth, while opening opportunities for practical partnerships that can strengthen national security, institutional resilience and public service delivery.
