Business has not been anywhere close to usual in the Pearl of Africa ever since the death of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Jacob Oulanyah Lokori.
Today, reality has continued to manifest as the body of the fallen speaker arrived at Entebbe International airport days after citizens have been kept waiting ever since the fallen speaker breathed his last during medication in Seattle, USA.
In memory of the fallen speaker, Members of Parliament that have gone to receive the body of the fallen giant have worn black bow ties in tribute to the speaker’s signature fashion statement, the bow tie.
Members of Parliament were earlier seen in a Parliament bus dressed in pristine suits and black bow-ties minutes before setting off for the airport.
Jacob Oulanyah is remembered for his sharp flamboyance as he always complimented his suits and tuxedos with a bow tie.
Meanwhile, Oulanyah’s body has been handed over to Aplus services. There will be a service at his home on Sunday. On Tuesday, his body will be at parliament before being taken to Kololo on Wednesday. His burial is slated for Friday.
