The X post by TheAnkoleTimes on May 15, 2026 portrayed how Moses Magogo fled the country.
The post stated:
“According to information reaching our desk, Eng. Moses Magogo, the husband of Anita Among, has fled the country. We shall keep you updated.”
The Claim
Moses Magogo allegedly fled Uganda amid ongoing political tensions surrounding Speaker Anita Annet Among who is undergoing a high level investigation on allegations of Corruption and Abuse of Office.
Moses Hashim Magogo.
Moses Magogo is the President of the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) since 2013, and was recently re- elected Member of Parliament for Budiope East in Buyende District .
He was publicly sworn into Uganda’s 12th Parliament on 12.May 2026, with photos and videos from the ceremony widely shared by the Parliament of Uganda and local media.
To verify the claim that he has left the country, JamiiCheck carried out a thorough research and also had the following
1. Review of Parliamentary Records and Media Coverage
JamiiCheck reviewed reports, photos, and videos published by the parliament.go.ug and mainstream Ugandan media outlets such as Daily Monitor UG, Nile post, New vision, NBS TV, NTV Uganda.
The findings Only showed that Moses Magogo publicly took oath as Member of Parliament for Budiope East during the opening of Uganda’s 12th Parliament on May 13, 2026.
Visual evidence from Parliament showed him physically present during the swearing-in ceremony alongside Anita Among.
-no official institution or credible media organization had confirmed claims that Magogo fled Uganda.
-No police, immigration, parliamentary, or FUFA statement supported the allegation.
The claim mainly originated from speculative social media commentary
Multiple accounts reposted the allegation without evidence
-No airport footage, travel documents, or verified sightings outside Uganda were provided
-The original X post itself acknowledged the information was still unverified
VERDICT: FALSE
There is no credible evidence that Moses Magogo fled Uganda.
Context:
The rumor appears to have emerged amid ongoing political tensions surrounding Speaker Anita Annet Among.
Recent online and political discussions have focused on corruption allegations and disagreements within sections of the ruling National Resistance Movement regarding Speakership endorsements.
Reports and commentary also suggested that influential figures within the establishment, including the Chief of Defence Forces and sections of the NRM Secretariat, had reportedly distanced themselves from endorsing Anita Among’s alleged speakership ambitions.
The Statehouse has also tasked the Inspector General of Government to carry out a thorough investigation on Anita Annette Among on Issues of Corruption and misuse of Office.
Because Moses Magogo is Anita Among’s husband, social media speculation quickly extended to him despite the lack of factual evidence.
