The Speaker of Parliament Rt Hon Anita Annet Among has responded to allegations by the UK government that she owns a house in London denying ownership of any property in the United Kingdom.
Speaker Among used the social media and said that she had chosen not to respond to the pieces of malicious content and schemes thrown at her by various actors from within and outside our country, but now wish to comment briefly on the issue of her alleged ownership of properties in the UK, which is now a subject of diplomatic engagement between our two countries.
She said that she was glad that President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has given attention to the matter and rightfully chosen to seek the truth through formal diplomatic channels.
Speaker Among who is also the Bukedea District Woman Member of Parliament said that like the known principle of natural justice recognized in most jurisdictions of the Commonwealth including Britain, the one who alleges must prove and since the UK government claims she own property, it should be prudent of them to state which property she 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” Speaker Among said.
The alleged house plot, Flat 4, Silk House, 7 Waterden Road, London, E20 3AL, United Kingdom, which they informed the President is owned by Hon Among and surely has an owner who is registered in their own system in the UK Government and this owner as per their own records who is not Anita Among.
Speaker Among said that while the matter is exciting to some because of internal political contradictions and intrigue, she wish to alert all Ugandan that the issue is not the alleged corruption or ownership in the UK and the attempts to forge and claim that she own property when the UK records show the contrary and the real crux of the matter is about targeting her for being vocal against homosexuality and the rest is a cover-up.
