Okori told mourners during the burial in Lalogi.
After the burial, The NRM Vice chairperson for Buganda, Godfrey Kiwanda Ssuubi also said that in 2011 Oulanyah told him that he was poisoned but asked him to keep it as a secret.

The Minister of Health, Dr.Jane Ruth Aceng last week told parliament that Oulanyah’s immediate cause of death was multiple organ failure stemming from a cancer he had.
According to Enanga, the individuals targeted with summons will have to furnish police with evidence to prove their poison claims, contrary to official medical reports.
President Museveni a few weeks ago warned that police would go after anyone who is making allegations of poisoning in Oulanyah’s death.
