Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Opposition Democratic Party (DP) has pledged to promote the legacy of the former Speaker of the 11th Parliament Jacob Oulanyah of upholding reconciliation thus renewing their call for a national dialogue.<\/p>\n

DP Spokesperson, Mr Okoler Opio, said that since DP has been at the forefront of seeking reconciliation, the country needs a platform to clear the underlying sentiments, which are dividing Ugandans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Rt. Hon Oulanyah has been spoken of as the glue that was holding the greater north together. He has left a legacy of reconciliation as such, we desire that his death keeps us stronger and united through promoting his legacy,\u201d Mr Okoler said on Tuesday, during their weekly media briefing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sentiments created by actions of our forefathers but manifesting through our actions and words must be addressed outright. We need a platform where we can rest our sentiments, dishonesty, speculations, polarization and begin a new normal,\u201d he further explained.<\/p>\n

Mr Okoler also added that DP denounces the politics of stigmatization, tribalism and violence, as well as ostracising the people with whom one does not share political beliefs, which he said has subsisted for quite some time and is taking center stage of the country\u2019s body politic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our considered view that the politics of radicalism founded on hatred should not be accorded space in our country, it is bad, it is breaking our cultural establishments, and it is breaking our cultural norms,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The party also noted that the circumstances surrounding Oulanyah\u2019s death continue to polarise opinions, which has buttressed their demand for the government to release a comprehensive medical report detailing the cause of the former Speaker\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will allay the fears and set still the controversies as opposed to the piecemeal method of releasing information appearing concomitantly with threats from government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile according to the burial program released by the government on Tuesday, the Speaker emeritus\u2019 body is expected to arrive at Entebbe International airport on Friday April 01, 2022 at 2.00 pm aboard the Ethiopian Airlines.<\/p>\n

The casket will be received with full honors. A few leaders and family members will be allowed at this ceremony. Immediately after, the casket will be handed over to A plus Funeral Management. This will be followed by a weeklong series of programs including the body lying in state, a state funeral, before he is finally laid to rest next week on Friday [April 8].<\/p>\n
