Deputy Speaker of Uganda Parliament, Hon Jacob Oulanyah Explains Why He Seeks Election as NRM Vice Chairperson Northern Uganda.


By Rt. Hon. Jacob Oulanyah

Friends and my people of Uganda!

My name is Jacob Oulanyah
I am the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, I also represent the people of Omoro county in the Parliament of Uganda.

I am a man of the people and I am calling upon you to vote me as NRM’s National Vice Chairperson for Northern Region, to be a member of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of NRM.

The CEC is the highest policy and decision organ of the NRM.

In 2015, I contested for the same position.
I was set to win but in a settlement brokered by the NRM National Chairman, H.E Yoweri. K. Museveni, I respected his guidance to allow the incumbent, my brother Hon. Sam Engola continue for another term. That term is now coming to an end.

Joining the NRM’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) as the Regional Vice Chairperson Northern Uganda will avail me with the platform to be part of the initiators of propositions before it comes to Parliament which is a processing institution.

One of my biggest focus will be on unity; consolidating regional unity to
promote equitable socio-economic transformation.

I will also put emphasis on strategically mobililzing citizens to build the strength
of the NRM and instill loyalty in its membership;

Another area that I feel urgently needs intervention is access to affordable
credit; to boost entrepreneurship among the youth, women, Elders, PWDs and
Veterans; in areas of farming and other businesses.

Lastly, I will center my attention to the Empowerment of NRM structures to
carry out oversight of government service delivery and to take ownership;

Being a part of CEC will facilitate me to seek out the root of issues, ask what the real problem is, givetechnical and informed guidance, so that there is an actual link between Parliament and the policies from CEC. As of now, from my experience, being a Deputy Speaker who does not sit on the CEC is like a pilot flying blind. Additionally, as Deputy Speaker I preside over Parliament without participating in debate
but at CEC I will be able to give my views and influence decision.

Further more, my intention to run for this office is to reorganise how things are done both
within the party and within the region; including making people understand that NRM is a party that can actually move people forward and make them believe and experience it.

I am a tried, tested and trusted leader; my values and principles drive me to continue committing to getting your voices heard, your interests served and your aspirations fulfilled.

I ask for your vote, support me and let us work together to develop the NRM, Northern Region and our country Uganda.

I thank you very much!
I am counting on your vote!
