In a recent statement, Anita Among, the Speaker of the Parliament of Uganda, has vehemently denied allegations of owning property in the United Kingdom. This response comes in light of a letter from President Yoweri Museveni, who sought clarification on the matter following diplomatic inquiries.
Addressing the nation, Among stated:
“Fellow Ugandans,
While I had chosen not to respond to the pieces of malicious content and schemes thrown at me by various actors from within and outside our country, I wish now to comment briefly on the issue of my alleged ownership of properties in the UK, which is now a subject of diplomatic engagement between our two countries.”
Among expressed her appreciation for President Museveni’s involvement, noting the importance of seeking truth through formal diplomatic channels. She emphasized the principle of natural justice, which requires the accuser to provide proof.
“Indeed, like the known principle of natural justice recognized in most jurisdictions of the Commonwealth (including Britain), the one who alleges must prove. Since the UK government claims I own property, it should be prudent of them to state which property I own as Anita Annet Among. Forgery should be the least the world can expect from them. I am sure this is the answer my President, our government, and myself want from them. Nothing else.”
The controversy centers around the alleged ownership of a property located at Flat 4, Silk House, 7 Waterden Road, London, E20 3AL. Among refuted these claims, asserting that the registered owner, according to UK government records, is not her.
“Fellow Ugandans, while this matter is exciting to some because of our own internal political contradictions and intrigue, I insist and wish to alert all, soundly, that the issue is not the alleged corruption or ownership in the UK. The attempts to forge and claim that I own property when their own records show the contrary tell it all.”
Among suggested that the allegations were part of a broader agenda targeting her for her outspoken stance against homosexuality. She concluded her statement with a note of resilience and faith:
“The real crux of the matter is about targeting Anita Among for being vocal against homosexuality. The rest is a cover-up. The truth will set me free. (John 8:32)”
