Speaker Oulanyah should lead a mindset change Tuesday June 01 2021 Dear Tingasiga: My wife and I were very pleased by the news of Jacob L’okori Oulanyah’s election as Speaker of Uganda’s Parliament. We congratulate him and hope that he will offer a less combative and humbler style of leadership than his predecessor. We also hope that Oulanyah will restrict the Speaker’s roles and public activities to those that are prescribed by law and tradition. These are to preside over all sittings of Parliament; to chair the Parliamentary Commission, the Committee on Appointments and the Business Committee; to represent Parliament in its corporate relations; and to prologue Parliament by proclamation.
