Anita Annet Among
HABARI DAILY I Kampala, Uganda I The former Speaker of the Uganda Parliament, Anita Annet Among is in hot soup, following revelation that the Inspectorate of Government (IGG) has commenced with investigations into her wealth.
The IGG has since confirmed receiving and processing a petition seeking investigations into the wealth declaration of Speaker of Parliament Anita Among.
Speaking to reporters at the Uganda Media Center on Friday, Justice Aisha Batala Naluzze, the Inspector General of Government said that the office had already started handling the matter in line with laid down procedures.
“I just want to confirm that we received the complaint and when we receive a complaint, we have procedures to follow. What I can tell you is that we got the complaint and we are processing it. We are going to follow it with the investigation once we have gone through everything,” Justice Batala said.
The petition, dated May 13, 2026, was received by the IGG Central Registry, accuses Among of failing to declare or under-declaring her wealth contrary to the Leadership Code Act.
The complaint was filed by Andrew Karamagi, Mercy Munduru, Kato Tumusiime, Gift Grace Achilla, Praise Aloikin and Godwin Toko.
The petition, addressed to Justice Batala, the complainants cited Section 21 of the Leadership Code Act and requested the IGG to furnish them with Among’s declaration of income, assets and liabilities.
Petitioner’s grounds
The petitioners argued that Section 4 of the Leadership Code Act requires leaders to declare their income, assets and liabilities every two years during the month of March.
They further noted that failure to comply attracts penalties including dismissal from office, demotion and forfeiture of undeclared assets.
“We accordingly lodge this complaint regarding failure to declare and/or under declaration of wealth by the aforementioned Anita Annette Among,” part of the petition reads.
The petition follows growing controversy surrounding Among’s lavish lifestyle and recent acquisition of a Rolls Royce Cullinan 2025 model, worth an estimated Shs 4.3 billion.
Among’s political future has come under intense scrutiny, with reports that she has been barred by President Museveni from running for the Speakership, and reportedly stopped from flying outside the country.
