Mzee Nathan Okori asked the current speaker Anita Among Annet to take on the roles Oulanyah was playing in his family since he had fathered them
“Madam Speaker, Anitah Among, you are now the speaker occupying the chair the late Jacob occupied. He was like a father to us. You have to take that position now and play that role as a parent. – Jacob Oulanyah’s father” Mzee Nathan Okori.
