The National Unity Platform (NUP) party leader, Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, has called on the government to expedite investigations into the alleged poisoning of former Speaker of Parliament Jacob Oulanyah.
Bobi Wine made the remarks in an interview shortly after meeting Nathan Okori, the father of Oulanyah, at his home.
Bobi Wine said he went there to pay tribute to the late Jacob but also condole with the family adding that though it might sound insensitive but Okori’s message of poisoning his son has been loud and clear, thus asking that the investigations be done faster.
After President Museveni announced Oulanyah’s death through his Twitter handle on March 20, the news about the alleged poisoning of the Oulanyah came out as Okori indicated that his son had told him that a man in Omoro and a woman in Kampala, whose names were concealed, had poisoned him.
While addressing legislators who gathered at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds to pay tribute to Oulanyah, President Museveni said police would be deployed to investigate people who were fronting poison claims as the major cause of death for the deceased.
At the burial of Oulanyah on Friday last week, Okori insisted that his son had been poisoned and hours later, police made a U-turn on their own statement saying they would investigate the matter.
