President Museveni has announced that the Speaker of Parliament, Jacob L’Okori Oulanyah, has died. On Sunday, Mr Museveni announced in a tweet that he learned about Oulanyah’s death around 10.30 a.m. “Countrymen and Countrywomen,” says the narrator. I regret to inform you of the passing of the Speaker of Parliament, the Rt. Hon. Jacob Oulanyah. People who had been with him and the doctor who was caring for him in the intensive care unit informed me of this tragic news about 10.30 a.m. East African time. He was an excellent Cadre. Mr Museveni stated, “I postponed the news so that his children would be told first.” Mr Oulanyah was last seen in Parliament in December 2021, and by then, he had only chaired a few sessions, including the passage of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) Bill, which allowed members’ savings to be accessed in the short term. In May 2021, he was elected as Speaker of the House. On February 4, Oulanyah flew out of the country for treatment, with reports claiming that the Uganda Airlines Bus A330-800 neo with registration code 5X-NIL flew him to Seattle, Washington in the United States. The journey was estimated to cost $500,000 in total (about Shs1.7b). The journey and admission of the Speaker infuriated a group of Ugandans living in the United States, who protested the trip....
