Security personnel at Anita Among's home in Bukedea

Joint security operatives have raided the residence of outgoing speaker of parliament Anita Among in Bukedea, eastern Uganda.

A team comprising officials from the army, police, Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), Internal Security Organisation (ISO) and the State House Anti-Corruption Unit conducted a nearly four-hour search at Anita’s home in Aputiput village, Aere parish, Kamutur sub-county, as well as her mother’s residence in Apopong village, Apopong parish, Kolir sub-county.

The operation started at about 11 am and lasted until around 2:30 pm. During the search, the officers were accompanied by Anita’s legal counsel, Caleb Alaka, of Alaka and Company Advocates.

The home of Anita’s mother was also raided

Security personnel sealed off the premises and restricted access throughout the exercise.

Media personnel were denied entry into the residences, although journalists observed sealed boxes being loaded into a police vehicle by the security team.

Among, who is currently at the centre of a growing corruption scandal, is under investigation for alleged corruption and illicit wealth accumulation during her tenure as deputy speaker and later speaker of the 11th parliament following the death of Jacob Oulanyah.

The Bukedea Woman MP has previously maintained that she is innocent of any wrongdoing. However, investigations into her financial dealings remain ongoing.

Security sources indicated that the probe is still active and may extend to properties linked to some of her close political allies within Bukedea district.

  1. Who in his/her right state of mind can deny that: in her short term of office as Speaker, Anita Among has been doing all these under the wide watchful eyes and loud hearing of our 86-years-old PROBLEM OF AFRICA, as well as his nasty lawless PRACTICING STANDY PROBLEM OF AFRICA, Gen MK; who is now masquerading and pretending to lead the special operation on her (Among)?

    Why E.G., did Gen Tibuhaburwa tell the former IGG, Hon Beti O Kamya to go slow with her LIFESTYE AUDIT? It was and still is: to enable his corruption agents to complete the construction of their criminal monuments/empires.

    40 years and counting Gen Tibuhaburwa and his NRM ideology is lawlessness, serious crimes and corruption. Therefore, who in his/her right state of mind will deny that: including Gen Tibuhaburwa and his wayward son (problem of Africa); Among and others still at large, have been/are building their indelible corruption (criminal) monuments, such as; housing their mothers/relatives, building Teaching Hospitals, etc. by mixing the mortar (concrete) with the raw sweat and blood of million impoverished, illiterate sick and dying Ugandans?

    It is sickening because, the Police and so call security forces are follow the orders of criminals from above!

  2. Lakwena, thanks.

    Only Ugandans, in UNITY under just ONE of them as Common/National Leader will give chance to stop all this inhumanity going on legally, officially constitutionally for 40 years & assured for 45 years!

    Do Ugandans need the useless parliament & for WHAT?

    Even Bobi Wine assured Rwandese Museveni is protcted with last fake presidential election & now he’s quiet waiting for the next fake one, right?

    Ah! Ugandans have forgotten Dr Besigye, who understood, after so long, that Rwandese Museveni is evil & became opposer to him, is rotting in prison while no one talks about him!

    How is Rwandese Museveni going to be stopped & by WHO when Ugandans remain powerless under the tribalistic system, protect him with useless elections every 5 years, knowing only his family member will replace him when he dies of old age?

    Why are Ugandans ensuring they remain slaves of the Rwandese family for good?

  3. [It is sickening because, the Police and so call security forces are follow the orders of criminals from above!]

    Lakwena, you right but, when/if Ugandans say NO to the tribalistic system & UNITE to block Rwandese Museveni, will the Police & so called security forces retreat with him & to which tribal land?

    Will blocking, stopping Rwandese Museveni in UNITY make him go with tax money?

    Why are Ugandans still powerless tribally divided & ensuring the tribalistic system that is Rwandese Museveni’s POWER?

    Bobi Wine is gifted in ensuring Rwandese Museveni remains in power with fake presidential election & enjoys being in the useless fake parliament in the fake country!

    Rwandese Museveni doesn’t need the fake presidential election as he will own Uganda with or without it, nor does he need the useless parliament, so Ugandans MUST become ONE PEOPLE & block him!

    Why is he assured of 45 years while the people keeping, protecting him complain & to who?

  4. Problem was acquiring one of the few customised vehicles produced in the world(60 produced only- hyperbole) that caused a chain reaction to sources of income for such wealth
