During the service, Archbishop Kazimba advised Ugandans to desist from corruption, land grabbing and other evil deeds since everyone is in transit and not a permanent resident on earth.

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni regretted the demise of the former Speaker Oulanyah, saying that if he had known about his ailment, he would have advised him to concentrate on his health. Museveni explained that Oulanyah became too busy with national politics while canvassing votes to retain his Omoro County seat, and contesting for the National Vice Chairperson of the National Resistance Movement – NRM Party for Northern Uganda.

Oulanyah succumbed to cancer on March 20, 2022.
