In a surprising turn of events, President Yoweri Museveni has directly accused the Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Anita Annet Among, of providing false information regarding her ownership of a property in London.
The President’s stern communication was conveyed in an official letter dated May 23, 2024, addressed to Ms. Among.
The letter, which has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, outlines President Museveni’s concerns about a property located at Flat 4, Silk House, 7 Waterden Road, London, E20 3AL, United Kingdom.
According to the President, contrary to Ms. Among’s previous statements, there is substantial evidence suggesting that she indeed owns the property in question.
“I have got information that is contrary to what you told me, that you, indeed, own a house in London in the form of Flat 4, Silk House, 7 Waterden Road, London, E20 3AL, United Kingdom. Do you own that house or are you renting it?” the President queried in his letter.
The authenticity of Museveni’s letter has been confirmed by his press secretary Sandor Walusimbi when contacted by this website, “the letter is genuine,” he responded in a Whatsapp text.
This inquiry not only questions Ms. Among’s integrity but also puts her in a position to clarify the truth behind her overseas assets.
The President has not left the matter to rest there.
He has directed the Minister of Foreign Affairs to engage with the UK Government to obtain detailed information about the property.
Additionally, the Inspector General of Government (IGG) Betty Kamya has been notified, indicating that a thorough investigation might be on the horizon.
The letter’s revelations have sparked discussions across various political and public spheres, with many questioning the implications of the Speaker potentially misleading the President.
The move underscores President Museveni’s commitment to transparency and accountability within his administration.
The potential fallout from this disclosure could be significant, impacting Ms. Among’s political career and public image.
If found to have deliberately misled the President, she could face severe political and legal consequences.
As the situation unfolds, all eyes will be on the responses from the Speaker, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the IGG’s office.
This incident marks a critical moment in Uganda’s political landscape, highlighting the importance of honesty and integrity among the nation’s top officials.
