Omoro County Member of Parliament who has also been the Deputy Speaker of the 10^th Parliament Jacob Oulanyah has today handed over the office he has occupied for 10 years.

 

While handing over the Oulanyah revealed that he was not coming back as the Deputy speaker. "I'm sure am not coming back and am going home now my term ends today," he said.

 

Jacob Oulanyah is currently pushing to become the Speaker of the 11^th Parliament.

According to several Members of Parliament Mr Oulanyah deserves to be next Speaker given that his region voted the party presidential flag bearer and posted high number of Members of Parliament.

He is NRM Vice Chairperson for Northern Region. Oulanyah who has previously contested for the same slot but pulled out after party prevailing over him to let it for the Kamuli district Woman MP, Rebecca Kadaga.

 

“It is no longer a secret, we are fronting Jacob Oulanya because he has been loyal to the party but above all, his region performed better. We are not against Kadaga but reality be told, she has been a deputy speaker and speaker twice. However, the overall factor is that her region didn’t vote our flag bearer”. Said a supporter of Oulanyah.
