Former Speaker of Parliament Anita Annet Among has broken her silence after days of public absence, declaring her unwavering loyalty to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni despite the challenges and investigations currently surrounding her.
Speaking at her Nakasero residence while hosting a delegation of Teso cultural leaders led by Emorimor Paul Sande Emolot Etomeileng, Among described President Museveni as the leader who gave her the opportunity to serve as Speaker of Parliament.
“The President gave me an opportunity to serve in one of the most important positions of my political career. I became Speaker because of him. I will always remain loyal to him,” she reportedly said.
Among also dismissed reports that she was mistreated during recent investigations, insisting that some accounts had been exaggerated. She further denied allegations that investigators recovered huge sums of money or a money-printing machine from her properties, describing such claims as false.
Despite the ongoing scrutiny, the former Speaker reaffirmed her commitment to the National Resistance Movement (NRM), saying she remains a loyal cadre ready to serve wherever the party leadership assigns her.
Her remarks come amid growing speculation about her political future, sending a strong message that her loyalty to President Museveni and the ruling party remains unchanged.
