Speaker Jacob Oulanya was last week rushed out of the country for further treatment after suffering from persistent abdominal pain that threatened his life.

According to a close source, Oulanya’s doctors referred him abroad for better treatment. The source goes on to disclose that Jacob was this week admitted at St Thomas hospital in United Kingdom for further health examinations.
Ever since he succeeded Hon Rebecca Kadaga as speaker, Oulanya has never presided parliamentary sittings as they have been chaired by his deputy Hon. Betty Among something that put the country on tension.
Jacob Oulanya was elected on 24th May 2021 in a tight rice where he massively defeated former Speaker Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga and FDC’s Ibrahim Ssemuju Nganda.
