KAMPALA, UGANDA – Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among, has vehemently denied allegations of owning properties in the United Kingdom, labeling the claims as a targeted attack on her stance against homosexuality. In a statement, Speaker Among asserted that the UK government’s attempts to forge evidence against her are a clear indication of a cover-up.
“The attempts to forge and claim that I own property when their own records show the contrary tell it all. The real crux of the matter is about targeting Anita Among for being vocal against homosexuality. The rest is a cover-up. The truth will set me free,” Speaker Among said.
The allegations, which have been the subject of diplomatic engagement between Uganda and the UK, have been deemed as a forgery attempt, with Speaker Among challenging the UK government to provide evidence of her alleged property ownership.
President Yoweri Museveni recently confronted Speaker Among in a scathing letter dated May 23, demanding she reveal whether she owns or rents the property at Flat 4, Silk House, 7 Waterden Road, London, E20 3AL, United Kingdom. The President’s letter, copied to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Inspector General of Government, raises questions about Among’s financial dealings and potential conflicts of interest.
Speaker Among maintains that the registered owner of this property, as per the UK government’s own records, is not her. She has challenged the UK government to provide evidence of her alleged property ownership, stating, “Since the UK government claims I own property, it should be prudent of them to state which property I own as Anita Annet Among. Forgery should be the least the world can expect from them. I am sure this is the answer my President, our government, and myself want from them. Nothing else.”
The matter is ongoing, with diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the issue and uncovering the truth.
