Even the Paramount Chief of Acholi, where Oulanyah comes from, claimed the speaker could have been poisoned and demanded answers from government.

The Acholi Paramount Chief wondered why all powerful politicians from the region die after being elevated to higher positions. (Read Story Here).

In his remarks after the election of a new speaker and deputy speaker, Museveni said police would go for those playing cheap politics.

“I want to warn people who use the death of someone to do cheap politics. I have heard some people saying Oulanyah was killed. We are coming for you,” said Museveni.

“The police will come for you to help them because you seem to know what we don’t know. We cannot go on with this indiscipline.”

Today, Parliament elected Anita Among as Speaker and Thomas Tayebwa as Deputy Speaker.
