Jacob Oulanyah died on March 20, 2022, and now, four years later, Mzee Nathan Okori has also passed away.

Mzee Nathan Okori suffered respiratory complications. Mzee Okori died at the age of 97.

“This is uncanny! On the fourth anniversary of the death of Speaker Jacob Oulanyah we have lost his father Mzee Nathan Okori!” wrote Norbert Mao.

“I have just got the sad news from his family that two days ago he was rushed to Lacor with respiratory complications and today he died. Sad!”

When Jacob Oulanyah died, his father Mzee Nathan Okori said his son had been poisoned, contrary to a medical report presented by health minister Jane Ruth Aceng. (See Details Here and There).
