Fresh drama has unfolded at the Nakasero residence of former Speaker of Parliament Anita Among after security operatives reportedly confiscated yet another private vehicle from her heavily guarded home.
The latest development has intensified public debate surrounding the ongoing anti-corruption crackdown known as “Operation Maliza Ufisadi,” which continues targeting high-profile government officials and politically exposed individuals.
Residents around the upscale Nakasero neighborhood watched in disbelief as security officers maintained a heavy presence around the property while carrying out the latest operation.
Witnesses say the atmosphere around the residence remained tense but controlled, with security personnel restricting movement as vehicles were reportedly removed from the premises.
This is reportedly not the first time authorities have confiscated vehicles linked to the former Speaker during the ongoing investigations.
Sources familiar with the operation claim that several luxury vehicles have already been taken away from the residence over the past few days as investigations intensify.
The continued seizure of vehicles has triggered mixed reactions among Ugandans, with some questioning whether every asset associated with Anita Among is now being treated as suspicious.
“This is now becoming bogus and getting out of hand. Do they mean to say Anita Among owns nothing legally?” some members of the public questioned as news of the latest confiscation spread online.
Others, however, argue that investigators must be allowed to complete their work without interference, especially considering the seriousness of corruption allegations surrounding the former Speaker.
Despite growing public attention, authorities have not yet released a detailed official statement explaining the exact reasons behind the continued confiscation of vehicles from the property.
Security agencies have largely remained tight-lipped about the broader scope of Operation Maliza Ufisadi and the specific evidence investigators are pursuing.
Political analysts say the prolonged security operations at Anita Among’s residence suggest that investigators are conducting extensive financial and asset verification exercises.
The ongoing crackdown has already significantly altered Uganda’s political landscape, particularly within Parliament and the ruling establishment.
Anita Among, once considered one of the most powerful political figures in the country, now finds herself at the center of multiple investigations involving allegations of illicit enrichment and abuse of office.
The investigations have already forced her to withdraw from the race for Speaker of the 12th Parliament amid growing political pressure and public scrutiny.
Reports also indicate that some of her assets and bank accounts remain under restriction as authorities continue tracing wealth and ownership records.
Meanwhile, the heavy security deployment at her Nakasero residence has transformed the area into one of the country’s most closely watched political locations.
Residents and motorists passing near the property have reported seeing armed officers, police patrol vehicles, and restricted access points around the home throughout the ongoing operation.
Critics of the operation argue that the investigations risk creating a public perception that all wealth owned by politicians is automatically suspicious, while supporters insist accountability must apply equally to everyone regardless of status.
For now, the seizures continue attracting national attention as Ugandans wait for authorities to clarify the full extent of the investigations and whether more assets linked to Anita Among could still be targeted under Operation Maliza Ufisadi.
