Parliament on Thursday paid tribute to the late Serere County
Member of Parliament, Patrick Okabe. During the sitting chaired by Speaker of
Parliament, Anita Among, the late Okabe was eulogized as a unifier and God-fearing
servant.
Okabe, 64, died on Monday morning alongside his wife
Christine Okabe, and his driver during a road crash. The MP’s vehicle collided
with a Kenyan-bound truck at Naboa in Budaka District along Mbale-Tirinyi
highway.
The casket containing remains of the late Okabe arrived at
Parliament around 9:45 am draped in the national flag and wheeled into the Parliament
lobby and later to the chambers for a tribute.
