Ugandans Left With Shock On Oulanyah’s Burial Budgets

Posted by: Suubi Anne in Uganda news March 29, 2022

Ugandans stunned about the amount of money that is going to be used during Oulanyah’s burial. A total of 2.5billion has been budgeted for this.

Apparently, A-Plus Funeral Services is going to need shs 226m, the finance committee needs shs 248.7m. Acholi MPs also need shs 312.9m, Security needs shs 158.5m.

Then the burial day itself needs shs 1.1bn, and fuel needs shs 124m. This amount of money has made heads turn especially on social media.

Meanwhile, the Minister for Presidency who is heading the committee for the late Speaker’s burial has asked Ugandans not to make the cost of the burial a big deal.

‘’What matters is not the figures but the activities involved and status of the deceased. Avoid traumatizing the family’’

However, this is not something the public has overlooked. According to many, this money is too much for just the burial.

“I think we’ve lost it all and you just keep fooling Ugandans, who owns A-plus? And why does it deserve all this, is it that they will resurrect the deceased? No no no!!! You’ve lost all the credibility to plan for us. Uganda is bleeding,” a one Aribarema Moses said.

“What status when the region he is being buried at doesn’t even have a decent hospital. What is status when he could not even be treated for malaria in his home district? There is nothing good about depriving Ugandans of better health facilities and enjoying false privileges,” a one Job Muhumuza said.

Unfortunately, they have already made the budget and won’t change anything. However, 30% of the Speaker’s annual income is going to cater for this budget as well according to the Constitution.

Oulanyah’s body will reach Uganda by Friday so that preparations can commence.
