You can hardly find a photo of the fallen speaker in a full tie. Those who have tried to look for such a photo can testify that you will in fact not find it.
Due to his love for bowties, even the flowers around his photo were arranged in form of a bow tie. The speaker has been very stylish in dress code and everyone knew him for always being smart.
On top of that, he is a man who loved his motorbikes and because of this, his casket was adorned with a helmet as well. Oulanyah was a man who loved his tradition, because of this, dancers could not have missed the celebration of his life.
Today, the fallen Speaker is expected to spend a night in parliament as the norm is for a person who died in his position.
On Wednesday, which is tomorrow, his body will head to Kololo for a state funeral. From here, thousands of people will be allowed to pay their last respects.
Later on, on Thursday, Oulanyah will be taken to Omoro where he will be buried on Friday.
Meanwhile, Speaker Among asked that if there is any member of parliament whom Oulanyah hurt, they endeavor to forgive him.
“I want to appeal to any member that Rt. Hon. Jacob Oulanyah might have hurt knowingly or unknowingly to forgive him so that he may go in peace.”

![[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.
