Oulanyah is a Ugandan agricultural economist, lawyer and politician, who serves as the Speaker of the 11th Parliament of Uganda (2021 - 2026). He was elected to that position on 24 May 2021, after defeating the former Speaker Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga.
Rt. Hon. Jacob Oulanyah was admitted at Mulago Hospital then to Nakaseero Hospital where he wasn’t responding to medication until he went for specialized medical attention in the United States with the Opposition criticizing his move for specialized medical attention in Seattle.
The demonstrations began on 7 February 2022, from 3:00PM at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance: Aloha St. Seattle. The demonstrations were being led by National Unity Platform (NUP) coordinators in the US.
Below is a link of evidence of NUP participation and leadership in the Seattle protests against Oulanyah’s medical attention in Seattle.

However, FDC Official and several NUP leaders came out on Wednesday 16th March 2022 with messages of quick recovery on their social media platforms. This left many opposition and pro-government leaders wondering whether it was done out of good faith.
Regarding the heated social media wars between NUP and Acholi MPs who threatened to refund the 1.7 billion Shillings that was used to provide Hon. Jacob Oulanyah with medical attention in the United States, the NUP leadership cited need to falsely wish the Speaker well because they fear of not being welcomed in the Acholi region in the coming 2026.
This explains why the National Unity Platform and FDC have come up to symphasize with the Speaker, out of false pretense.
NUP activists have on several occasions celebrated the death of government officials in all regions of the country. They have recently hacked Wikipedia to edit Oulanyah’s biography indicating his place and date of death hence calling for media excitement.
