Youth from Northern Uganda seeking to join the UPDF have been asked to avoid corruption.
This has come from the UPDF recruitment team 3 leader covering northern region Col Stephen Ebulu.
Col Ebulu said that when it comes to recruitment in the UPDF, candidates must know that there is no room for corruption, saying that patriots are those who are selfless and can sacrifice for others.
“It is important to preach corruption in every gathering including those who want to join service of the people so that they understand and stay away from it, since it doesn’t develop the nation but rather personality. It is totally different from the military principles because soldiers don’t work for personal gain the but the public” Col Ebulu emphasised
He added that When it comes to recruitment in the UPDF, candidates must know that there is no room for corruption, saying that patriots are those who are selfless and can sacrifice for others and this is what a recruit of the UPDF must begin to train on.
He informed the recruits that there is no payment of money in order to join the UPDF, and that anyone found doing it will be punished.
He also advised those who did not qualify to go back to school and live a responsible life to remain focused if they are to achieve their dreams.
