However, according to the minister for the presidency Milly Babalanda, Ugandans shouldn’t be discussing the budget but consider the activities involved and status of the person of Oulanyah as a fallen sitting Speaker.
According to Babalanda, Ugandans should avoid discussing this because it’s directly and indirectly traumatizing the bereaved family in this trying moment of mourning.
Regarding the budget for burying Rt. Hon. Oulanyah, what matters is not the figures but the activities involved and status of the deceased. Let us avoid traumatising the family in this trying time. BMB
