The latest is an incident where a UPDF soldier committed suicide after a disagreement with his wife on Christmas day.
Lt Ninsiima Rwemijuma attached to Kyanzuki detachment, in Kasese is said to have shot himself dead in his house reportedly after having quarrels with his wife .
However speaking to journalists the army spokeperson Col Felix Kulaigye said currently the available services relate to HIV and trauma however giving hope that soon a comprehensive package of counseling will be rolled out .
This is happening barely a month after another soldier and the same detachment killed himself still over a woman.
