Chief of Defence Forces Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has strongly warned against any planned celebration for former Speaker of Parliament Anita Annet Among, saying those involved could be arrested.In a post on X, Muhoozi said there would be “ABSOLUTELY no party for AAA” and warned that anyone involved in organising such an event would face arrest.“There will be ABSOLUTELY no party for AAA. We shall arrest anybody involved in that nonsense!” Muhoozi stated, referring to Among by her initials.
He also stressed that forgiveness does not necessarily mean that all outstanding matters involving a person have been resolved.“Forgiving someone doesn’t mean they don’t have unresolved cases,” he added.The warning followed reports that a celebration was being planned for Among following her reported release from restrictions. The reports linked Masaka City Woman MP and State Minister Justine Nameere to the alleged plans, although the claims have not been independently established.
Among, however, denied any involvement, saying neither she nor people associated with her had made arrangements for a party.“My brother Gen, there are no arrangements by myself or individuals associated with me to host any party. God bless!” she responded.Muhoozi’s latest remarks come after he previously announced that President Yoweri Museveni had forgiven Among and would not pursue prosecution against her over issues surrounding her.
His latest statement, however, suggests that the reported forgiveness should not be understood as a clearance of every unresolved matter.The exchange has sparked fresh debate about Among’s political future and the circumstances surrounding her reported release, while Muhoozi’s warning has made it clear that any attempt to organise a celebration could attract security action.
