Brig. Gen. Charles Oluka, the Director General of the Internal Security Organisation (ISO), has passed away. His death was confirmed by Faruk Kirunda, the Special Presidential Assistant for Press and Mobilization at the Office of the President.
Gen. Oluka died last evening at Seguku Hospital, where he had been rushed for medical attention. On October 8, 2020, President Yoweri Museveni appointed him as the substantive Director General of the Internal Security Organisation, following the removal of Colonel Kaka Bagyenda and his deputy, Don Mugimba.
Prior to his appointment as Director General, Brig. Gen. Oluka served as the Director of Technical Services at ISO until 2018. Under his leadership, ISO played a crucial role in apprehending criminals responsible for the deadly machete attacks in Masaka, which claimed the lives of nearly 30 people between July and September 2021.
He was also a regular presence in joint security briefings whenever incidents requiring coordinated efforts arose.
