During Sunday’s State of the Nation Address President Yoweri Museveni announced that 24,000 members of the reserve force will be called up and organized in new Local Defense Units that are meant to work alongside the Uganda Police Force in combating violent crime in Kampala and Wakiso. 

According to the President,the selected people will be trained, armed and distributed in all villages in the two districts.  

However, some security experts have said the though the move, which is expected to cost an estimated 57 billion shillings, might go some way towards improving security, it might not be the best way to deal with ending targeted assassinations of high profile individuals.
