Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mr Thomas Tayebwa, has revealed that he retained the office, and some of the furniture and aides of the late Jacob Oulanyah. Oulanyah passed away on March 20 last year in the US. He had been battling cancer.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the memorial service for the former Speaker at All Saints Cathedral, Nakasero in Kampala yesterday, Mr Tayebwa, who represented his boss, Ms Anita Among, said this was done in a bid to dispel the mistrust in public offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have maintained his driver, bodyguard, personal assistant, chair, office furniture because we take it for granted the level of mistrust we have as a country. But I have never had a problem with [Oulanyah\u2019s] team. Let us learn that [everyone in] public office is holding it in trust,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Training<\/b><\/p>\n

He added that the rate at which Oulanyah trained him when he was still Chief Whip and the then Deputy Speaker, Ms Among, seemed as though he knew that his time on earth was up and he needed to impart his leadership skills to the team he was leaving behind.<\/p>\n

READ<\/b>: What happened to promises made at Oulanyah\u2019s burial?<\/p>\n

Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo said his relationship with Oulanyah was cemented during the search for peace in northern Uganda during the Lord\u2019s Resistance Army (LRA) war.<\/p>\n

He described their relationship as poetic, philosophic and sometimes mischievous.<\/p>\n

\u201cJacob was extremely loyal and dependable. He would put everything aside to help a friend. When you talk of wealth, people think of material things but wealth is at the time of your need and how many people turn up. That is the wealth we are talking about,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Andrew Ojok, one of Oulanyah\u2019s children, said: \u201cHe taught us the spirit of servant leadership. Let\u2019s continue serving humanity. I am only good if you are good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bishop Hannington Mutebi, the assistant Bishop of Kampala Diocese, described the late Oulanyah as a committed Christian who didn\u2019t publicise his faith for all and sundry to see. He said when he was ill in 2019, the late Oulanyah asked then Speaker, Ms Rebecca Kadaga, to mobilise the MPs to raise money for his treatment.<\/p>\n

Jacob Oulanyah:<\/b>How the organ failures developed<\/p>\n

He added that Oulanyah sometimes surrendered his personal vehicle to take clergy to intercede in all corners of the country.<\/p>\n

As part of the memorial activities, a memorial autocross competition will be held followed by prayers on Sunday at his ancestral home in Omoro District.<\/p>\n
