Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>\u201cI love talking just like [deceased Parliament Speaker] Jacob (Oulanyah). But as you notice, I have been very quiet on the other forum where I have been making a lot of noise. I was in Abim District [in Karamoja sub-region] and then I travelled to Pader where I found Chief Justice (Alfonse Owiny-Dollo) and he told me that he would be travelling to Seattle [a United States west coast city in Washington state] to see Jacob.<\/p>\n

So, I told him \u2018please, don\u2019t go without receiving big get-well-soon cards from me. I am going to buy many cards and ask people to sign so that you take them to Seattle.\u2019 Then after Pader District, I went to Kitgum District [where] the Chief Justice was invited to talk to our people to deal with some issues that are confusing.<\/p>\n

How govt skipped options to save Oulanyah in Europe<\/p>\n

Then when I [returned to] Gulu (City), I got a call from the Deputy Speaker [of Parliament Anita Among] that I should travel with her and the Chief Justice to Seattle. So, I told her, \u2018how are you going to make it happen?\u2019 And she asked me whether I had a US visa and I said \u2018yes, I do have it.\u2019<\/p>\n

She told me she will find the money for me to travel and they helped me to get a business class travel (ticket). Visiting Jacob was important for us given the kind of rumours that have been flying around. [An unknown person on March 14 edited Oulanyah\u2019s Wikipedia profile to reflect that he had died in Seattle.]<\/p>\n

We were accompanied by a medical doctor who is also the Minister of Health, Dr Jane Ruth Aceng. She called us for a caucus and she said, \u2018I want you people to know the person you are going to see is not the Jacob you know\u2019. He has lost a lot of weight, but he is alive. I want you to be prepared.\u2019<\/p>\n

So, we just dropped our luggage in the hotel and off we went to the hospital. At one point, the Chief Justice was almost like a paramedic to Jacob; visiting, admonishing, encouraging and even threatening him that \u2018do you know what will [happen] if you just die without accepting that those who love you should do the best they can?\u2019<\/p>\n

DON’T MISS:<\/b><\/p>\n

Jacob Oulanyah and the NRA\u2019s Stockholm Syndrome in the north<\/p>\n

So, he opened his eyes and he recognised us. Even his brother (Francis Emuna) was there. So, we didn\u2019t go to visit someone who was already dead. Jacob actually called the name of the Chief Justice, Chigamoy, at some point with a little smile. But we noticed that his face was very sad.<\/p>\n

One other thing we witnessed was that doctors and nurses decided that he should be taken to the verandah [of the hospital]] to spend some minutes in sunshine and have some fresh air outdoor. So, they put him in a mobile stretcher and move him out. That was day one [of our visit].<\/p>\n

Day two, we met the doctor and the doctor prepared us for the worst. I will just say that because I didn\u2019t understand the details. It was actually Dr Aceng who asked some questions for our benefit. She stepped down the high-voltage information that the doctor had given us.<\/p>\n

How information gap over Oulanyah health left public guessing<\/p>\n

The doctor at Seattle told us \u2018be ready for anything, it can happen today, tomorrow or after some time.\u2019 So, we left [for our hotel rooms]. The next day, in the night, we got a call from the Chief Justice (Owiny-Dollo), we were preparing to see Jacob before returning to Uganda, and he said, \u2018your brother has gone to [be with] the Lord.\u2019<\/p>\n

For me, I was just paralysed, but the Chief Justice sounded very strong. So, I told the Chief Justice \u2018you are now going to be the one to talk to the home people\u2019. I did this because Jacob and I considered CJ as a role model and an inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n
