A team of investigators has this afternoon arrived at the home belonging to former speaker of parliament, Annet Anita Among, in Ntinda, a Kampala suburb.
The team of police and army investigators was led by Kampala Metropolitan regional police Criminal Investigations chief, Moses Taremwa.
A team of lawyers representing Among was also seen at the scene. The lawyers led by Caleb Alaka include Evans Ochieng and Erisaniah Nabeta.
On Saturday afternoon, security personnel raided the home of the speaker of Parliament, Annet Anita Among, in the quiet leafy city suburbs of Nakasero along MacKinnon Road.
It began at 2:30pm on Saturday. A truck blocked the road leading to the home. Three uniformed officers stood at the gate while plain-clothed operatives fanned out across the road watching, waiting, cataloguing.
Before dusk settled over the capital, some black suitcases were seen being loaded into a white police van and driven away from the scene. It is not clear what exactly was picked from the Nakasero home.
And the operation did not end there. By Sunday afternoon, the security net had widened considerably. Investigators reportedly picked interest in Among’s other properties in Kigo in Wakiso district and Ntinda in Nakawa division.
Among is being probed over allegations including corruption, money laundering, and abuse of office.
Sources privy to the probe confirmed that several Members of Parliament and parliament staff, including officials linked to Among’s office, have been lined up for questioning as investigators widen the scope of their inquiries.
