Nathan L’Okori Adiyo, the father of former speaker of parliament Jacob L’Okori Oulanyah, has died at the age of 97. L’Okori passed away on Friday at St Mary’s Hospital Lacor in Gulu City, where he had reportedly been admitted two days earlier with respiratory complications. His death comes on the same date, marking four years since the passing of his son, Oulanyah, who died on March 20, 2022, in the United States. Speaker of parliament Anita Annet Among, in a condolence message shared on her official X account, expressed sorrow over the loss and extended sympathies to the family, the parliamentary fraternity and all who knew the deceased. “It is with a heavy heart that I inform our esteemed colleagues, the parliamentary fraternity, and all who loved our brother… that his father… has passed away,” she wrote, adding that funeral arrangements would be communicated after consultations with the family. L’Okori had been living quietly at his late son’s home in Ayom Lony village, Lalogi sub-county in Omoro district prior to his demise. Oulanyah served as the 11th speaker of parliament, having risen from the position of deputy speaker, which he held from 2011 to 2021.
