Police is set to resume construction of officers housing units after being allocated Shs 292 billion for domestic development in the FY 2020/21 fiscal year starting next month.

The domestic development budget caters for among other things; the construction of police housing units, police stations, purchase of more fleet, renovations of police stations and refurbishing existing health amenities.

Dr Moses Byaruhanga, the director police medical services, said in the coming budget, police hope to purchase at least seven new ambulances for his directorate.

Another police project that is expected to take a big chunk is the stalled construction of 10,000 housing units for lower rank police officers who range from the inspector of police to police constables.

Former police boss Gen Kale Kayihura launched the construction of police housing units.
