Ogwal: Beauty Queen who turned into an Iron Lady

Cecilia Barbara Atim Ogwal, a Ugandan politician, businesswoman and management consultant has died.

Ogwal has been the Member of Parliament for the Dokolo District Women’s Constituency. She has been a member of Uganda’s legislature continuously since 1996
