OMORO: After friends and relatives received news of Speaker of Parliament Jacob L’okori Oulanyah’s death, they started to flock to the deceased’s ancestral village, Ayom Lony village in Lalogi Sub-county, Omoro District, to condole with his parents and family members who were gathered at the home.

As they congregated, many started to question circumstances around Oulanyah’s death. His relatives and parents called for more clarity on their son’s death, saying until the time of his death, they were kept in the dark about his condition.

Nathan L’Okori, Oulanyah’s father said he is waiting to get an authentic report of his son’s death from President Yoweri Museveni. He stressed that his son didn’t die of a natural cause. He added that before his son was airlifted to the United States, Oulanyah hinted on a sinister move designed to end his life, a piece of information that he says Oulanyah repeated even while in Hospital.

 

Also, Milton Omara, 74, Oulanyah’s paternal uncle told Uganda Radio Network a news partner agency of The Kampala Report, that although they knew about the former speaker’s sickness, no one took the initiative to inform them about what he was suffering from. He said the government needs to clearly explain what exactly killed their son.

Omara is bothered that Oulanyah’s death will leave a huge gap in the family and the district since he was an icon of unity and supported many development projects including paying school fees for needy children in the community.

Veronica Okori, Oulanyah’s stepmother equally said they don’t have any information on what caused Oulanyah’s death, and adds that ever since Oulanyah was airlifted to the USA, no information was shared with his family about his condition.

“We don’t have any information, we are equally waiting to know from those people who were close to him at the Hospital,” She told URN in an interview. She described Oulanyah as a man who was friendly to many people, loved his district and the country.

Olal George, Oulanya’s brother also noted that his death is a shock to the family since they weren’t told about his problems. He says Oulanyah’s demise has created a vacuum in the family because he had solely been supporting them including his aging parents.

In reiteration, Omoro District Chairperson Douglas Peter Okello said they are equally waiting for the report on the cause of Oulanyah’s death.

Oulanyah, 56, who was also the Omoro County legislator died at a hospital in Seattle in the United States of America where he has been undergoing medical treatment since February 3. His death was announced by President Yoweri Museveni on Sunday afternoon.

Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja said the President will be announcing burial arrangements for the late Oulanyah whose body awaits transportation into the country.

The Acholi paramount chief, His Royal Highness, Rwot David Onen Acana has added his voice on the voices of parents and relatives of fallen Speaker of parliament Rt. Hon. Jacob Oulanyah who are questioning his death.

Speaking from his home in Gulu, H.R.H. Rwot David Onen has cast doubts on what exactly could have killed the Speaker asking why their children are dying immediately after ‘falling into things’.

“We cannot pretend that all is well because we have more questions than answers,” he said.

He added,” This also raises a question as to why our children die immediately after elevation to positions of power.”

H.R.H. Rwot David added his voice on that of Oulanyah’s father Nathan L’Okori, who insisted that his son didn’t die of natural causes.

According to URN, L’Okori said that he is waiting for an authentic report of his son’s death from President Museveni.

L’Okori added that before his son was airlifted to the US, he hinted at a sinister move to end his life, a piece of information that he says Oulanyah repeated even while in the hospital.

Oulanyah’s paternal uncle Milton Omara, disclosed that no one in government took the initiative to inform the family about what Oulanyah was suffering from that is why government needs to clearly explain what exactly killed their son.

Veronica Okori, Oulanyah’s stepmother equally told URN that government has kept them in the dark and that ever since Oulanyah was airlifted to the USA last month, no information was shared with his family about his condition.

The late speaker’s brother Olal George revealed that Oulanyah’s demise has created a vacuum in the family because he had solely been supporting them including his aging parents.

Oulanyah’s death was announced yesterday by President Yoweri Museveni through his twitter.

Oulanyah died yesterday at 10:30am in a hospital in Seattle, U.S.

Meanwhile, Information and National Guidance minister Chris Baryomunsi on Friday last week warned that government would track down people who were spreading what he called then false news regarding Oulanyah’s death.

Deputy Speaker Among Now Moves With Her Own Microphone …

In the wake of the death of her boss Jacob Oulanyah, the deputy speaker of parliament Anita Among fears for her dear and she now moves with her own microphone.

Oulanyah’s father Nelson L’Okori insisted that his son told him that he was poisoned.

Such allegations have forced Among to be very careful with her life and on Sunday evening during the vigil at the deceased’s home in Muyenga, a Kampala suburb, she refused to use the microphone other government officials were using.

The officials who spoke during the vigil included the Prime Minister Robinah Nabanja, Agriculture ministers Frank Tumwebaze, Security minister Gen Jim Muhwezi and they all used one microphone.

However, when the minister for Information and National Guidance Dr. Chris Baryomunsi invited Among to address mourners, her bodyguard got the microphone from the bag and gave it to her boss.

Sources at parliament intimated to theGrapevine that Among is not only sensitive to poison scare but also fears Covid-19.

In her speech, Among promised to fulfill the deceased’s wishes by creating a good working relationship between the leader of government business and the office of the speaker.

“My sister Robinah (Robinah Nabanja, the prime minister), I am happy and I can promise we will work together for the good of Jacob. I am also happy that you went with Jacob’s word. Jacob called you when you were in your office and told you, walk to my deputy’s office and you did that. I am happy that you came and we will work together,” a tearful Among said.

She praised her boss for his good leadership and mentorship.

She said that she will not forget when the deceased trusted her to chair the vetting committee to vet the vice president Jessica Alupo and PM Robinah Nabbanja.

” I have walked the journey with that brother of mine, that friend of mine and a boss,” she said before walking away in tears failing to finish her address.
