Police, UPDF raid former Speaker Among's Nakasero residence

KAMPALA - A joint security team has raided the Kampala residence of former Speaker of Parliament Anita Among as part of an investigation into alleged corruption.

Investigators at the scene on Mackinnon Road in posh Nakasero suburbs include armed personnel from the Uganda People's Defence Force and the Criminal Investigations Directorate of the Uganda Police Force.

Unconfirmed sources reported that President Yoweri Museveni ordered investigations into allegations of corruption and money laundering against Among.

On Friday, the Inspectorate of Government (IG) said it is processing a complaint seeking investigations into the wealth and assets of Speaker of Parliament Anita Among, following a petition filed by a group of lawyers.

Inspector General of Government (IGG) Lady Justice Aisha Naluzze Batala confirmed the development Friday, 15, 2026, while addressing journalists at the Uganda Media Centre in Kampala during the release of the outcomes of the April 2026 declaration of incomes, assets and liabilities by public officers.

A group of Kampala-based lawyers filed a complaint against Speaker Anita Among over her wealth declaration.

The petition was filed with the Inspectorate of Government (IGG), accusing her of allegedly breaching the Leadership Code Act through failure to declare or possible under-declaration of her wealth.

The complaint, dated May 13, 2026, and addressed to Batala, was lodged by six complainants identifying themselves as citizens and taxpayers acting under Section 21 of the Leadership Code Act.

In the petition, the complainants, who are led by Andrew Karamagi, a lawyer practising with Pan African Lawyers Union, argue 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 contend that failure to comply attracts penalties including dismissal from office and forfeiture of undeclared assets.

Without divulging details of the complaint, Batala confirmed that the matter had formally been received by her office and was already undergoing the required administrative and legal procedures before investigations commence.
