A joint security team led by the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), with support from the Uganda People’s Defence Forces and other state security agencies, has reportedly raided the residence of former Speaker Anita Annet Among in Nakasero as part of an expanding investigation into alleged illicit enrichment and money laundering.
The operation began Saturday afternoon and involved detectives, military intelligence personnel and forensic investigators who searched the premises and scrutinised documents and property linked to the former Speaker.
The dramatic raid marks the most serious escalation yet in the fast-moving political and legal storm surrounding Among, who has in recent days come under intense pressure amid the battle for the Speakership of the 12th Parliament.
The development follows confirmation by Inspector General of Government Aisha Batala Nalule that her office had formally received and commenced investigations into a complaint accusing Among of breaching the Leadership Code Act through alleged undeclared wealth and unexplained assets.
The complaint, lodged by a group of lawyers and activists, called for investigations into Among’s wealth declarations, assets and sources of income amid growing public scrutiny over her lavish lifestyle and reports of high-value acquisitions, including a luxury Rolls-Royce vehicle allegedly imported from the United Kingdom.
The latest operation also comes against the backdrop of an increasingly bitter political fallout within the ruling National Resistance Movement and the Patriotic League of Uganda, led by Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
Muhoozi has in recent days posted a series of strongly worded statements condemning corruption and extravagant spending by public officials, remarks widely interpreted by political observers as indirect attacks on Among.“Our job is to SERVE Ugandans not ourselves! I cannot support corruption! I risked my life to make this country peaceful. Now that it is, it will not be taken by thieves. Never!” Muhoozi wrote earlier this week.
Security sources say state agencies have become increasingly concerned about the influence of money in the looming Speakership race, with insiders claiming powerful actors within the establishment are pushing for Defence Minister Jacob Oboth Oboth to take over the top parliamentary position.
The raid also follows Friday night’s arrest of Masaka City Woman MP Justine Nameere Nsubuga, who had publicly defended Among and clashed online with PLU Secretary General Daudi Kabanda before reportedly being picked up by security operatives from Masaka.
By Saturday afternoon, neither CID nor UPDF had issued an official statement on the raid, and it remained unclear whether any arrests had been made or property seized during the operation.The developments are likely to send fresh shockwaves through Uganda’s political establishment as the race for control of Parliament enters a critical phase.
