The Opposition Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) Party President Jimmy Akena has decried the death of the former Dokolo Woman Member of Parliament Cecilia Ogwal as a great loss to the whole political fraternity in Uganda.
Speaking to our reporter this afternoon, Akena said the deceased played a crucial role in the late 80s and 90s in as far as the restoration of multi-party politics in Uganda is concerned.
Members of the Lango sub region have also added their voice to the other leaders, among them is Hon. Daniel Omara Atubo, former Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development who has described Atim Ogwal as the firm foundation of the Multi- party democracy in Uganda, something which Uganda will not achieve based on personality domination.
Chris Otim, a resident of Lira City, compare Atim’s death to the death of President Apolo Milton Obote in 2006 and Gen. David Oyite Ojok in 1983, deaths which he said has changed Lango forever.
At the time of her death, Ogwal was serving as a member of the parliamentary Committee of Physical Infrastructure in charge of overseeing and covering policy matters related to Lands, Housing, Urban development, Works and Transport, and Physical Planning.
