The army spokesperson, Lt Col Paddy Ankunda says the promotion is in line with the professionalization agenda of the UPDF.
"These are hardworking and professional officers. They have worked diligently, and the commander in chief exercised his discretion provided under the constitution to promote them. We congratulate them," he said.
