Speaker Anita Among has said the health of the Dokolo District Woman Representative, late Hon. Cecilia Ogwal, took for the worse during the recently concluded Conference of Speakers and Presiding Officers of the Commonwealth (CSPOC).
The late Ogwal was the Chairperson of the Sub-Committee of Spouses and Accompanying Persons during the 27th CSPOC held from 03 to 07 January 2024 at the Commonwealth Resort Hotel, Munyonyo.
“When we got the information that she was not well, I had to rush out of the conference to ensure a swift evacuation to India for specialised medical care. Unfortunately, she passed away on 18 January 2024,” said Among.
The Speaker made the revelation during the special sitting to pay tribute to Ogwal on Monday, 22 January 2024.
She said the state of Ogwal’s ill health was unclear, because she was very private with her condition.
“Her humility is a lesson for all; she loved to see everyone happy and would withhold even critical information about her health, if she sensed that it would make anyone sad,” Among said.
