The Uganda Police Force has lost one of its senior officers, Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Charles Kataratambi, who was serving as Director of Human Rights and Legal Services.
Police spokesperson Kituuma Rusoke confirmed that Kataratambi had been battling health complications since his appointment to the position last year.
Kataratambi joined the Force as a cadet in 2001 and built a career largely in Criminal Investigations.
He went on to head the Media Crimes Unit, the Land Protection Police Unit, and the Flying Squad, before being transferred to the Special Investigations Division in 2013.
In 2015, he was arrested alongside other officers over allegations of mishandling a fraud case but was later cleared.
After spending some time un-deployed, Kataratambi returned in May 2024 when he was promoted to the rank of AIGP and appointed to lead the Human Rights and Legal Services Directorate.
The Police Force has described his passing as a significant loss to the institution.
