Deputy speaker, CJ rush to US as country awaits worst news about speaker Oulanya

KAMPALA-UGANDA/NEWSDAY: A team of Uganda’s top leaders have flown to the United States where speaker of parliament Jacob Oulanya is hospitalised.

Deputy speaker Anita Among and chief justice Alphonse Owiny Dollo left Entebe International Airport on Tuesday evening.

“It’s worrisome and they could come back with no one, something sort of no life…. but yes they went and will return with not that one they went to see, ” a close state source told Newsday.

Doctors in the United States ( US) in February concluded Parliament speaker Oulanya was suffering from a cancer that has now spread to other organs of his body.

This situation of the cancer is known as stage four. Stage 4 cancer is also sometimes known as metastatic cancer. At this stage the cancer has spread from its origin to distant parts of the body.

“This stage may be diagnosed years after the initial cancer diagnosis and/or after the primary cancer has been treated or removed,”an expert diagnostic medic offered to Newsday.
