Fallen speaker Jacob Oulanyah’s father, Nathan L’Okori, has been stopped from speaking at the burial of his son, who died last month in Seattle, US, where he had been taken to receive specialized treatment.
L’Okori has not been included on the list of people expected to speak at the funeral service and burial of his son, according to Daily Monitor.
The report reveals that Oulanyah’s father has only been allowed to welcome mourners.
Santa Alum Ogwang, the Oyam District Woman MP and a member of the family confirmed the development, saying the decision was reached in consideration of L’Okori’s health.
“Mzee is right now too weak, he can’t walk easily and can’t speak easily due to the bereavement. This, to us, is understandable because he needs more comfort than being exposed to emotional speeches,” Ogwang said.
Oulanyah’s body is at his home village in Lalogi, Omoro District, for family members, relatives, and friends to convey their last respects before burial today.
