Uganda’s Speaker Jacob Oulanyah was buried Friday evening at his ancestral home in Lalogi, Omoro district, about 400km north of Kampala, in a ceremony attended by thousands of mourners and dignitaries from the country’s political, social and business circles.
The day-long event, presided over by the archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Mr Steven Kaziimba Mugalu, included a 17-gun salute as Oulanyah’s body was lowered into his grave.
