Anita Annet Among, the former Speaker of Parliament, has revealed that authorities have frozen her bank accounts amid an intensified probe into her assets, wealth declarations, and suspected financial misconduct.

Among shared the information on Thursday, July 2, 2026, during a meeting at her Nakasero home with Teso elders and a group of Members of Parliament. She described the account freeze as one of the toughest outcomes of the ongoing investigations.

The Teso Parliamentary Group has written to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni requesting that the accounts be unfrozen. The lawmakers highlighted that the action has not only impacted Among personally but has also disrupted her businesses and charitable work, affecting the livelihoods of numerous Ugandans who rely on them.

They urged the President to “consider unfreezing her accounts to enable her to meet her lawful obligations and restore the livelihoods of the many Ugandans whose employment and welfare have been adversely affected.”

This latest move forms part of a wider investigation that has already involved multiple raids on Among’s properties in Nakasero, Kigo, and Bukedea, where security teams seized documents, gadgets, and high-end vehicles. The inquiries, led by the Inspectorate of Government and the Criminal Investigations Directorate, focus on claims of corruption, improper wealth declaration, and irregularities in the management of parliamentary funds.

The probe has extended to senior parliamentary staff, resulting in eight officials — including Communications Director Chris Obore — being charged in the Anti-Corruption Court with embezzlement, causing financial loss, and money laundering of billions of shillings allegedly siphoned between 2023 and 2026.

Among, who did not contest for the Speakership in the 12th Parliament and was succeeded by Jacob Oboth-Oboth, insists she is cooperating fully with investigators and has rejected claims that large amounts of cash were found at her residences.

President Museveni has stated that any decisions concerning Among should wait until the IGG completes its report.The situation continues to draw significant public attention as the anti-corruption efforts within key state institutions unfold.
