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....
