Nathan Okori, the late Speaker’s father a few days ago alleged that his son didn’t die from natural causes. While speaking to Daily Monitor, Okori said that they had poisoned his son.
However, according to President Museveni, some people are taking advantage of this situation to play politics.
Museveni added that Oulanyah died in a reputable hospital. Therefore, there is no way as to why such talk should even be making headlines.
He went ahead to say that the Police will start looking for those spreading such baseless allegations.
“I have heard some people say Oulanyah was killed, they are taking advantage of problems to play politics. The police should look for you.
Oulanyah died in a reputable hospital, for someone who is educated to go and say he was killed, NO. We can not mourn with this indiscipline,” Museveni said.
However, Bobi Wine said that as usual, Museveni without shame has closed the investigation. He added that no security officers will investigate. They will instead hunt for those calling for investigations.
Bobi Wine said that the first person to allege poisoning was the late Speaker’s father.
This means that there is a strong case to investigate since Oulanyah could have confided in his father.
The former Kyadondo east legislator added that in a functioning state, they would investigate such cases transparently.
In Uganda however, it’s the opposite as authorities intimidate people. Bobi Wine further said that whenever Museveni does this, it leaves citizens wondering what he’s trying to cover up.
“In a functioning state, allegations of this nature would be investigated in a transparent manner, instead of intimidating the nation into silence. Every attempt to silence citizens on possible murders only leaves them asking what you’re trying to cover up!”
While appearing on NBS Frontline, Chris Baryomunsi the Minister for information refuted the poisoning rumors.
He revealed that Oulanyah died from cancer. The Minister, Henry Okello Oryem corroborated his statement.
Oryem said that Oulanyah had been sick for quite a while but kept quiet about it. This is because he didn’t want to trouble people with his problems.

![[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.
