A public exchange has erupted between Kasambya County MP Daudi Kabanda and former Gender, Labour and Social Development Minister Betty Amongi over allegations of corruption and land grabbing.
Speaking publicly, Kabanda warned UPC President Jimmy Akena that his wife, Betty Amongi, could soon be arrested, claiming authorities were aware of her alleged involvement in irregular activities during her time in government.
"If you are having sleepless nights wondering whether your wife will also be picked up soon, I am here to assure you that you are right. We are coming for her anytime now," Kabanda said. He also alleged that Amongi was involved in land grabbing and insisted that Akena's public criticism would not stop any action against her.
Amongi, however, strongly rejected the allegations in a post on her X account, challenging Kabanda to provide evidence.
"Hon. Daudi Kabanda, face my husband Akena Jimmy man to man. If you have any dirt on me, publish it and all the land titles publicly on X, and prove your allegations. If I had any dirt, by now I would be in jail. And you, why has H.E. Kaguta Museveni refused to appoint you?" she wrote.
There has been no official announcement from law enforcement confirming any planned arrest or charges against the former minister.
