The information regarding the book that Ogwal was writing was revealed by the Sports Minister Peter Ogwang as he eulogized the fallen legislator, “I am aware that at the end of 2023, Atat (Cecilia Ogwal) was starting to work on her book project but her health could not allow this happen. I suggest that the family re-ignites this book project and that we as Parliament support the family in this effort” Peter Ogwang said.
Cecilia Ogwal joined Parliament in 1994 as a Constituent Assembly delegate and later as an MP in 2006 and has since been in Parliament. She was very vocal on issues of environment, human rights, governance and economy among others.
