“I join the people of Uganda in mourning the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Jacob L’Okori Oulanyah. On behalf of the NUP and on my own behalf, I extend deep condolences to his family, friends, the people of the Acholi Sub-region and all Ugandans. May his soul Rest In Peace,” Kyagulanyi said.

Mpuuga also extended his condolences to Oulanyah’s family, friends, and the Parliamentary fraternity. He ended his message by praying for the deceased to have a peaceful eternal rest.

Besigye also mourned the death of the late Speaker of Parliament in his own words.

“I send sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family of Hon Jacob Oulanyah. Please know that we shall keep you in our thoughts & prayers,” Besigye said.

FDC president Patrick Amuriat Oboi also mourned the death together with the family of the deceased and the entire country at large.

Kira Municipality Legislator, Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda, also said, “Jacob Oulanyah was a great speaker and a colourful person. This parliament will miss him. He knew how to handle bills. I disagreed with his politics, but I felt safe in his hands-on matters of the law.”
