KIGEZI REGION, October 11, 2026 — Police in the Kigezi sub-region have deployed uniformed and plain-clothed officers at examination centres across the region ahead of the national examinations scheduled to begin on Monday, October 12, 2026.
In a press statement issued on Sunday, Kigezi Regional Police spokesperson Nelson Tumushime said security measures had been put in place to protect examination materials, prevent malpractice and ensure the smooth conduct of the examinations.
Tumushime said police officers had been deployed to secure Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) storage facilities in the districts and escort examination materials to and from examination centres.
He added that intelligence teams were on high alert to detect and prevent examination paper leakages and any attempts to disrupt the exercise.
“The Traffic Police will ensure smooth movement of UNEB vehicles and maintain order on roads leading to examination centres,” Tumushime said.
According to the statement, police are also working with other security agencies, UNEB officials, District Education Officers and Resident District Commissioners to safeguard the examination process across the six districts of Kigezi.
The regional police spokesperson warned teachers, parents, invigilators and other members of the public against engaging in examination malpractice, saying anyone found culpable would be arrested and prosecuted in courts of law.
He also cautioned the public against circulating false information and alleged examination paper leakages on social media.
Tumushime further warned that parents and other unauthorised persons would not be allowed to access examination centres, adding that only accredited individuals would be permitted to enter.
Police have called on candidates, parents, school administrators and other stakeholders to cooperate with security personnel to protect the integrity and credibility of the national examinations.
Tumushime wished all candidates in Kigezi and the country at large success in their examinations.
