Warning On Misuse Of Military Attire

The Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs has noted with concern the increasing number of Civilians in military insignia that are a preserve of the security forces. Such as berets, lanyards and clothing.

Section 160 of the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces Act, 2005 subsection 2. part (c) prohibits none members of the Security Forces from receiving, possessing, selling or delivering any such attire mentioned above among others.

Whereas, the Uganda Gazette under General Notice No 1013 of 2019, dated 18 Sept 2019 issued a notice describing and prohibiting members of the public from donning Military wears and decorations or so nearly resembling them.

Failure to comply with this warning will invite legal action to the concerned individuals.
