LT. Col. Benson
Olanya, the ex-commander of the Uganda Peoples’ Defense Forces (UPDF)
343 battalion under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), has
been sentenced to six months in jail after he was found guilty of
diverting fuel meant for peace keeping operations.
Olanya will serve his sentence at the Military Police headquarters in Makindye, a Kampala suburb.
Delivering the ruling on Tuesday, the court chairman, Maj. Gen. Levy
Karuhanga, said the court’s decision is reflective of the pleas of the
defense and prosecution made after Olanya was convicted on Monday.
