Col. Edson Muhanguzi who took over from him, was also suspended and placed under investigations by the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence. LT. Col. Kansiime who deputised Col. Muhanguzi was detained at a prison in the Sea-port of Mogadishu and reportedly awaits transportation back to Kampala.
UGABAG 10's intelligence officer one Maj. Mbaire was also suspended for reportedly failing to detect the diversion of food and other logistics meant for soldiers in the frontline. An administration officer whose names we couldn't readily establish, took over intelligence work.
Others in 25th battalion and those in specialised units reportedly didn't get blankets. A battalion has 700 soldiers meaning that out of 3,500 soldiers under UGABAG10, only 1,400 received blankets which were valued at Shs50,000each. The remaining 2,100 soldiers did not receive meaning Shs105million worth of blankets disappeared.
While Amisom delivers fruits like apples and packed juices weekly for the soldiers to enjoy each day, the Ugandan contingent commanders reportedly give the soldiers four apples and one bottle of juice every two weeks.
Brig. Lokech was appointed military attaché to Russia but he is reputed to have fought against diversion of logistics and insisted on soldiers receiving what was due to them. During his time, Burundians and Ugandans shared logistics without conflict."
