The recent shooting and murder of State Minister Rtd Col Charles Engola has shone a dark light on Uganda’s armed forces. The incident, involving soldier Pte Wilson Sabiiti, who took his own life after committing the brutal murder, has reignited a conversation that has long been ignored – the mental health of soldiers and the income inequalities in society that exacerbate it.

On The Spot, we were joined by Brig General Felix Kulayigye, the army spokesperson, and Lyandro Komakech, a governance expert and transitional justice scholar, to discuss the way forward.
