The trio left on Tuesday evening with the United States as their destination. It has been alleged that the trip booked to depart from Entebbe Airport will arrive in Washington on Wednesday.
“His Lord the CJ, Right Hon D.S and Mr Francis Emuna left Entebbe for the US,” said a source at Parliament.
Long before Oulanyah became the speaker of Parliament, his brother had served there for a number of years.
The abrupt travel out of the country by the trio to see the speaker has left many with questions.
He has been in hospital there for a month now since 3rd February when he left Uganda on a charted Uganda Airlines flight UR 2.
The Parliament plenary sitting on Tuesday also sat for only 30 minutes leaving members of staff and visitors worried.
Chris Obore, the Parliament spokesperson said Among only traveled to check on Oulanyah again.
“Checking on a patient is only a proper thing” Obole told the press on Tuesday evening.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
