The Minister of Health, Dr.Jane Ruth Aceng earlier this week told parliament that Oulanyah’s immediate cause of death was multiple organ failure stemming from a cancer he had.

However, Mzee Nathan Okori told mourners that his son was poisoned.

I am not mourning in vain. I want to state clearly that Jacob was poisoned. He told me and  that he was operated as doctors attempted to deal with poison. It affected his health so badly and by time he as flown out he was not in position to recover
