Oulanyah was flown out in the wee hours of Thursday, after being discharged from Mulago National Referral Hospital where he had been admitted.
Sources reveal that government chattered Uganda Airlines’ Airbus and it charged $500,000 (about Shs1.7 billion) to fly Oulanyah and his family to Seattle.
The move to fly him out was reportedly ordered by President Museveni after Oulanyah’s health failed to improve after a week-long treatment at Mulago.
Sources reveal that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together with the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority processed all the necessary documents to get the speaker flown out.
Oulanyah was last seen in Parliament on December 21, 2021. His deputy Anita Among has mostly been in charge of the parliamentary business.
