Born 12 June 1946, Atim Ogwal, who was a defence contractor and management consultant, has been a member of Uganda’s legislature continuously since 1996.
MP Cecilia Barbara Atim Ogwal, the powerful Member of Parliament for the Dokolo District Women’s Constituency and former Miss Uganda, is dead at 77.
Speaker of Parliament Anita Among said Atim Ogwal succumbed to cancer at a hospital in India on 18/01/2024 Thursday morning.
“It is sad, Mama Cecilia Ogwal is no more, she is gone to be with the Lord,” said Anita Among during radio interview on Unity FM Odiko Alyet show.
Parliament spokesperson Chris Obore was yet to respond to calls seeking comment on the development.
Ogwal has been serving as a member of the parliamentary Committee of Physical Infrastructure in charge of overseeing and covering policy matters related to Lands, Housing, Urban development, Works and Transport, and Physical Planning.
