Law enforcement officials have conducted another operation at the Nakasero residence of former Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among, confiscating a number of luxury vehicles. The joint task force, involving the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) and state anti-corruption bodies, reportedly towed away at least four high-end cars, including a bulletproof SUV and a custom sports car, under tight security.
This latest action brings the total number of impounded luxury vehicles to six, with a Mercedes Benz bearing the personalized plate AAA 1 and a Lexus (UBP 704Y) also confirmed to have been seized. The seizures are part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of illicit enrichment and financial mismanagement during Among’s tenure.
Police Spokesperson Kituuma Rusoke confirmed the operation, stating it was aimed at “securing properties relevant to our ongoing financial audits.” He added that “the law will take its course without fear or favour.”
Despite the mounting seizures, representatives for Anita Among have previously dismissed the investigations as a politically motivated “witch-hunt.” The operation has led to increased public interest, with legal experts suggesting these asset recoveries are indicative of a strengthening case against the former Speaker. More properties in Kampala are reportedly under surveillance as the anti-corruption crackdown intensifies.
