The Minister for ICT and National Guidance, Dr.Chris Baryomunsi has lashed at police spokesperson Fred Enanga for stating that summons were ready for several people who made remarks that the deceased Speaker Jacob Oulanyah poisoned including his Father and the Dr. Baryomunsi.
While addressing journalists on Tuesday, Dr. Baryomunsi said Enanga exhibited unprofessionalism in regards to the summons before cautioning him from being excited.
“It’s improper to summon a father who has just lost his child. At this rate Enanga will summon the late Jacob Oulanyah. Enanga should stop being excited and shouldn’t drag me into this drama,”Baryomunsi said.
“In his statement he is saying he is focusing on those who peddling information that Jacob Oulanyah was poisoned. From what I have been saying, am I among those who have been putting forward that information? He should be professional. He should be professional in the way he does his job.”
The police spokesperson on Monday said all the accounts claiming Oulanyah had been poisoned will be put to test to prove their allegations which are contrary to the official media report.
“We are therefore summoning all those persons with other causes of death including poisoning for further interview and statement recording. These will include Hon. Godfrey Kiwanda Ssuubi who also mentioned Hon.Chris Baryomunsi, Hon. Gilbert Olanya, Hon. Santa Okot, Hon Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert, mzee Nathan Okori and Bosmic Otim,” Enanga told journalists on Monday.
According to the official doctors report read by the minister of Health Hon. Jane Ruth Aceng to parliament the cause of death of the Rt. Hon. Jacob Oulanyah, was c “Multiple organ failure of the heart, lungs, liver and kidney” from the University of Washington Medical Centre, in Seattle, USA.
“The Former Speaker had also attended other hospitals in Germany, the Uganda Cancer Institute and other hospitals, after he was diagnosed with Cancer in 2019. From all these hospitals, there was no trace of poison, in the systemic circulation and or body organs, as per the medical records. The deceased was treated in hospitals in Uganda, Germany and the US, under constant supervision, with numerous samples being taken regularly. All samples did not refer any clues for poisoning.” Enanga said
