The president of Democratic Party (DP), Norbert Mao has called on Ugandans to learn from the death of the Speaker of Parliament, Jacob Oulanyah and preach unity rather than hatred amongst themselves.
Days to Oulanyah’s death, Mao alongside deputy Speaker Anita Among, the Chief Justice Owiny Dollo, and the Speaker’s brother had flown to the U.S to check on him.
In his statement issued, the DP party chairman said he was heartbroken and sad about Oulanyah’s death but thanked God he was one of the few people that saw the Speaker alive before he slipped away.
Mao, however, advised that Oulanyah’s suffering and death be a turning point for Ugandans to confront things that divide them if they want to progress in whatever they do.
Mao noted that amidst all the sorrow, confusion and cynicism, there is always a choice between validating conspiracy theories or celebrating a life of significance.
