"content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I take this opportunity to mourn with the citizens, the Government and the Parliament of Uganda, for the death of the Speaker, The Rt. Hon. Jacob Oulanyah. Personally, I have known Hon. Oulanyah and his family for many years. He was a well-known lawyer in Uganda. At the same time, he was a long time MP who was very popular in his Constituency and he was elected many times. He was also very popular amongst MPs because they elected him Deputy Speaker twice and finally, as the Speaker. Hon. Oulanyah was a very active young man – not only in those international meetings that you mentioned, among them ACPEU – but also a Member of the National Prayer Breakfast. We have travelled to places for the National Prayer Breakfast and he participated actively in them. I know that he will be missed by many, especially those of us who know him. Madam Deputy Speaker, we have to start speaking about the issues affecting the whole of East Africa. Whenever we have a problem of illness, we have to travel outside to some other countries. It is a big challenge for us."
