Oulanyah's Abandoned Omoro Mansion Becomes a 'Shrine' Amid Unkept Government Promise
The unfinished mansion of late Speaker Jacob Oulanyah in Omoro District is deteriorating into what locals call a 'shrine,' years after the government promised to complete it following his 2022 death. Public criticism mounts as construction remains stalled, with questions directed at his son and MP Andrew Oulanyah.

The grand residence in Omoro District, intended as a retirement home for former Speaker Jacob Oulanyah, now stands as a symbol of neglect. Oulanyah passed away in March 2022, and during his burial in Lalogi, officials vowed to finance and finish the project.
Recent online images reveal the structure abandoned and crumbling, fueling widespread frustration. Many online voices are calling it a ‘shrine,’ highlighting the government’s failure to act on its pledge.
Criticism has targeted Andrew Oulanyah, the late speaker’s son and current MP, for not pushing harder on the issue. Earlier, Norbert Mao committed to raising the matter, even asking why it hadn’t reached President Yoweri Museveni.
This saga has revived debates on the reliability of state promises made at prominent funerals, demanding greater accountability.
