Military career
[edit]On 8 October 2020, President Yoweri Museveni appointed him as the substantive Director general of the Internal Security Organisation.[5] He replaced Colonel Kaka Bagyenda, who, together with his deputy Don Mugimba, were relieved of their positions.
ISO under Brig Gen Oluka was also pivotal in the apprehension of criminals involved in the greater Masaka machete attacks that left close to 30 people killed between July and September 2021. He was always present in joint security briefings whenever a crime incident that needed joint efforts happened.
Oluka's deputy is Taban Amin, one the sons of former Ugandan president Idi Amin.[2][6]
