Uganda's speaker Oulanyah was reportedly poisoned, claims father

Uganda's Speaker of Parliament Jacob Oulanyah was reportedly 'poisoned' according to his father Mr Nathan Okori who has said his son did not die of natural causes , but quickly added that the death should not be politicised.
“I know all of you who have come here are mourners. His (Oulanyah’s) death is not easy news to welcome because I know he did not die of natural causes, he was poisoned,” Mr Okori told handful mourners at their ancestral home in Omoro District.

In Kampala, Information minister and government spokesperson, Dr Chris Baryomunsi, in response to our inquiries, last night said: “Ignore that information [poisoning claims]. The post-mortem report will be released and the government will give out a statement.”
President Museveni yesterday confirmed that Oulanyah, a two-term deputy speaker, had passed on in Seattle Washington in the United States, but did not specify when he died or what caused his death, two touchy issues that have been a subject of intense speculation in the past week.
