Whatever is happening now, including the raiding of the home of former Speaker of Parliament Anita Among and the recovery of sacks of money in her home and at the home of her mouthpiece, the Woman MP for Masaka City, is enough evidence for Uganda to become the first country in the East African Community to jail its former Speaker for corruption and money laundering.
The law she passed recently should now start biting her. How did she get that money, from where and from whom, and for what purpose?
Ugandans would believe that there is now seriousness in the fight against corruption if the former Speaker of Parliament is sent to prison.
If she is to be sent to prison, she should not go alone, but should be sent with her associates, including ministers who have been benefiting from her but now have distanced themselves, yet some of them have been involved in contracts.
I would like to request investigators to search even the homes of ministers and other MPs who have been too close to the former Speaker. There is a lot of money being kept in houses; they should check inside ceilings, building walls, and some beds that have drawers—they should check all of them.
In the next article, I will reveal the names of ministers who have been benefiting from the former Speaker and are now hiding. There are also some MPs, including those in Acholi, whom I know have been keeping billions of money in their houses.
We shall also publish pictures of their properties so that investigators can use them to trace leads.
Afande Muhoozi, thank you so much. Your action has made Ugandans believe that the leadership of President Museveni is good, but the people he entrusted to help him transform the country are the most corrupt.
