The promotion was confirmed by the Ministry of Defence and Veterans Affairs highlighting Kulayigye’s invaluable contributions to the force and his instrumental role in shaping the UPDF’s public image.

“Major General Felix Kulayigye has played a pivotal role in shaping the UPDF’s public image, particularly through his position as Director of Defence Public Information,” Colonel Deo Akiiki, the Deputy Director of Defence Public Information announced in a Tuesday press release.
