GEN.SALEH PICKS NEW MOUTHPIECE! Ex-Pader RDC Dusman Okee Named OWC Spokesperson

The Chief Coordinator of Operation Wealth Creation (OWC) and Senior Presidential Adviser on Defence and Security, Gen. Caleb Akandwanaho, popularly known as Salim Saleh, has appointed former Pader Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Dusman Okee as his new spokesperson.

Okee, a long-serving government administrator, is expected to spearhead communication for the Office of the Chief Coordinator of Operation Wealth Creation, one of the government’s flagship initiatives aimed at boosting household incomes and wealth creation.

Before his latest appointment, Okee served as RDC for Pader District, where he became known for mobilising communities, coordinating government programmes and overseeing security matters.

His appointment signals Gen. Saleh’s confidence in Okee’s experience in public administration, government communication and stakeholder engagement.

Throughout his years in public service, Okee has built a reputation as a disciplined cadre and a committed advocate of government programmes, working closely with local leaders and communities to implement national policies.

As spokesperson, Okee will now be responsible for communicating the activities, policies and strategic direction of Gen. Saleh’s office, as well as engaging with the media and the public on matters concerning Operation Wealth Creation.

The appointment comes as OWC continues implementing government interventions aimed at improving agricultural productivity, promoting commercial farming and increasing household incomes across Uganda.

Okee’s elevation to the influential communications role marks a new chapter in his public service career, with many government officials and supporters congratulating him on the appointment and wishing him success in his new assignment.
