Former Speaker of Parliament Anita Annet Among is reportedly facing financial challenges after her bank accounts were allegedly frozen, with sources claiming that some of her household needs have become difficult to meet.According to reports, Members of Parliament from the Teso sub-region have been quietly contributing money through their WhatsApp group to support Among and her family during what they describe as a difficult period.Some lawmakers, speaking anonymously, said they felt obligated to assist Among because of her previous support for people and initiatives in the region.“
She supported many of us, and we cannot abandon her at this time,” one MP reportedly said.Sources further claimed that food supplies have occasionally been sent from Bukedea, Among’s home district, to her Kampala residence as additional support.
The reported financial difficulties are linked to alleged restrictions placed on accounts connected to Among and her husband, Budiope East MP Moses Magogo.The issue reportedly arose during a meeting between Teso cultural leader Papa Emorimor Paul Sande Etomeileng Emolot and Gen. Salim Saleh in Kapeeka, Nakaseke District. The cultural leader is said to have asked Saleh to help address the matter.Saleh reportedly responded that he would look into the issue, saying he was not a politician who makes empty promises.
Among has been under investigation following security searches at her residences in Nakasero, Kigo and Bukedea as part of wider inquiries into alleged financial irregularities at Parliament.The claims about her financial situation have sparked debate, with supporters calling for solidarity while critics insist that accountability processes should continue independently.(For adverts, inquiries news, send us a message on +211929244599)
