Maj Gen Olum hands over command to Maj Gen Otto
By Our reporter
Fort Portal – The Commander Land Force, Lt Gen Kayanja Muhanga, has commended Maj Gen Dick Olum for his distinguished work in Operation Shujaa, which has enabled the ‘wanainchi’ to continue with their economic and social activities in the areas where the joint forces are operating.
“I thank Gen Olum for the work well done. Tour of duty is a must in the army. We wish Maj Gen Dick luck in his new duty station,” said Lt Gen Muhanga in appreciation of Gen Olum’s service in Mountain Division and Operation Shujaa.
Lt Gen Muhanga made the remarks Sunday 22nd May 2024 at the handover ceremony of Commander Mountain Division from Maj Gen Dick Olum to Maj Gen Richard Otto, which took place in Fort Portal. He implored the leadership of the Rwenzori region to embrace the new leader and work with him to sustain the peace.
Maj Gen Olum thanked the Commander-in-Chief of the UPDF, H.E. Gen (Rtd) Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, for entrusting him with the leadership and command of the Mountain Division and Operation Shujaa.
The incoming Commander, Maj Gen Richard Otto said he will build on the foundation laid by Lt Gen Muhanga as the first Commander of Operation Shujaa and the achievements of his predecessor, Maj Gen Olum.
Battle-hardened Maj Gen Dick Olum, who has been the Mountain Division Commander since 2022 when he replaced Lt Gen Kayanja Muhanga – the current Commander Land Force – handed over command to another battle-hardened Maj Gen Richard Otto.
Both Maj Gen Olum and Maj Gen Otto have, over their military service, served as Commanders in Somalia, the Central African Republic, the 3rd Infantry Division in Uganda, and other appointments.
The function was attended by the second in command of Mountain Division Brig Gen Stephen Mugerwa, the air wing Commander Entebbe Brig Gen Kasaijja, Commander Commando Brigade Brig Gen Asaph Mweteise, representative of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo Lt Col Jacob Apunia, and leaders from Kabarole district.

I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something relating to this.

The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesn’t fail me just as much as this particular one. After all, I know it was my choice to read, but I truly believed you would have something useful to say. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something you can fix if you were not too busy seeking attention.
