Late Speaker Rt Hon Oulanyah also Told Me, He was Poisoned - Says, Former Tourism Minister Kiwanda Godfrey.

National Resistance Movement (NRM) vice chairman for Buganda region, Godfrey Kiwanda has said that the late Jacob Oulanyah confided in him that he had been poisoned.

Kiwanda said that although the former speaker of parliament had known underlying illnesses, what he said before his death can not be easily ruled out.

The NRM number four and former minister made these remarks while appearing on Capital FM’s political talk show on Saturday.

“I find no contradiction with Oulanyah’s father who insists that his son was poisoned, the late Rt. Hon Jacob Oulanyah told me too that he was poisoned,” Kiwanda said.

Kiwanda said that when Oulanyah told him that he had been poisoned, he asked him not to tell anyone at the time.

“However, I disclosed it to Hon. Baryomunsi” Kiwanda revealed.

Kiwanda’s remarks come after the burial Oulanyah’s in Lalogi, Omoro District, on Friday where the deceased’s father, Nathan Okori, reaffirmed that his son did not die of natural causes but was in fact poisoned.

Okori said that the poison affected his son’s health and by the time he was flown out of the country for treatment in the Seattle, United States of America, it was too late to save his life.

“Jacob Oulanyah was poisoned. He told me. And he was operated on, doctors attempted to deal with the poison. The poison affected his health so badly, he was not in a position to recover,” Oulanyah’s father revealed.

Last week, President Museveni warned members of the public, especially politicians against making claims that the late Oulanyah was killed, noting that soon police will come for them.

“I would like to warn some people who are in the habit of taking advantage of problems to make cheap politics. And actually we’re going to go for them because I have heard some people saying some people killed Oulanyah. The police will come and ask you to give them some information because Oulanyah did not die in a private home,” Museveni said during the state funeral ceremony at Kololo Independence grounds.

By the time of writing this report, It was not yet clear if police will follow up on the the statement’s of Kiwanda and the late speaker’s father.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Parliament Urges Government to Provide Shs 4 Billion to Media Houses to Run Awareness Campaign on Tourism in Uganda.

Parliament also urged Gov’t to provide additional Shs4Bn to UTB to engage international and national media houses in production of positive media stories for improved destination image, following reports of drop in number of tourists from US, Europe and China visiting Uganda. "The National Development Plan targeted to cumulatively attract 281,760 International Tourist arrivals from US, Europe & China but only 67,252 arrivals were registered by the end of the first half of FY 2023/24. The U.S, Europe & China were key target source for leisure tourist who stay longer than business tourists. However, statistics show that international arrivals from the aforementioned areas have continue to drop. The UTB requires Shs4Bn to engage international & national media houses in production of positive tourism stories to improve destination perception in light of recent controversies that shade the destination in a bad light. However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
