The minister of of Health, Hon. Ruth Aceng on Tuesday 5th, April during a house sitting to honor the late Rt. Hon. Speaker of Parliament declared that; “Oulanyah had cancer: died of multiple organ failure.”

“The heart, lungs, liver, and kidney all failed. The  Liver started failing while he was in Uganda and the lungs had started collecting fluids ” she said.

Hon. Ruth Aceng unveiled to the House and the general public at large that Oulanyah was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 which followed multiple treatments since then.

This information comes at a time when many Ugandans wondered “what killed” the Rt. Hon Speaker, making others suggest poisoning since the ailment was noticed by the public right after the late chairing only two plenary sittings following his appointment as Speaker of parliament .

The Speaker’s father Okori too was noted suggesting the same cause of death which raised the dust among many Ugandans driving reasons for death as political.
