OMG!! Detectives Raid Anita Among Bukedea Home And Parents Homes , Find Shocking Things

Detectives from Uganda’s security agencies have intensified investigations into the properties of former Speaker of Parliament Anita Among, conducting coordinated search operations at her residences in Bukedea District and widening their probe to multiple linked locations, in what officials describe as part of an ongoing high-level inquiry sanctioned at the highest levels of government.

The latest operation, carried out at her country home in Bukedea, marks an escalation in a series of searches that have, over the past 10 days, swept through properties associated with the Bukedea Woman MP, as she adjusts to a dramatic political reversal marked by isolation from many of her former allies.

According to sources familiar with the investigation, detectives stormed her expansive residence in Kamutur Sub-county, Bukedea District, spending several hours combing through the property in search of what authorities believe could be key evidence relevant to ongoing legal processes.

The operation did not stop there. Investigators reportedly expanded their search to her parental home in Apopong Sub-county within the same district, suggesting a widening net aimed at establishing deeper links and gathering corroborating material that could potentially be presented in court.

Security sources further indicate that detectives also conducted a separate search at the residence of her personal assistant, Akol Zipora, located in Obur Ngagor Village, Korir Sub-county, Bukedea District, as part of efforts to trace documents, assets, or communications believed to be connected to the broader investigation.

The unfolding operations come after earlier coordinated searches at Among’s properties in Kampala, including residences in Nakasero and Kigo, as well as her office at Parliament. During those raids, authorities reportedly impounded several assets, including six luxury vehicles. Among the seized automobiles is a recently acquired Rolls-Royce, which has become a focal point of public attention amid the ongoing scrutiny.

Officials have not publicly detailed the exact charges under consideration, but the scope of the searches has fueled widespread political debate, with observers closely watching how the once-powerful Speaker’s legal and political future will unfold.

The developments contrast sharply with the tone of confidence Among displayed in her final days as Speaker. Reflecting on the performance of the 11th Parliament, she told journalists last week that:

> “The 11th Parliament has been a very good Parliament [because] we have done a lot. It is one of the most remarkable Parliaments that we have had in the history of Parliaments.”

She cited legislative productivity as evidence of that record, noting that under her leadership alongside Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa, Parliament passed 138 Bills, approved 211 resolutions, and debated 140 Ministerial Policy Statements across 352 plenary sittings.

The 11th Parliament is also remembered for passing landmark and controversial legislation, including the Anti-Homosexuality Act, which drew both domestic praise and sharp international condemnation. The law earned Uganda praise from conservative supporters who saw it as a moral and cultural stance, but it also triggered diplomatic backlash, including sanctions from Western governments such as the United States, which directly targeted Among and other senior officials.

Supporters of the Speaker argue that the legislation demonstrated institutional unity and legislative assertiveness. However, critics say the same period was marked by growing internal tension and declining parliamentary independence.

Former spokesperson of the NRM Parliamentary Caucus, Brandon Kintu, has been among the most vocal critics of Among’s tenure. He accused her of suppressing debate and turning Parliament into a tightly controlled institution.

“It is unfortunate that the Hansard of the 11th Parliament will not be interesting to read. It is a pity when a presiding officer says this has been the most successful Parliament,” Kintu said, adding, “there was a lot of suffocation [and] intimidation.”

Kintu further alleged that Parliament under Among’s leadership became entangled in private commercial interests.

“You find a Speaker having a money lending company. At [one point], she stopped all [other] money lenders [from accessing Parliament] because she completely owns everything by herself,” he said during an appearance on the NTV morning programme.

Despite the criticism, the 11th Parliament passed several contentious and high-impact laws, including the Computer Misuse (Amendment) Act 2022, the National Coffee (Amendment) Act 2024, and the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (Amendment) Act 2025.

Each of these legislative processes was marked by heated debate and, at times, physical confrontation on the floor of Parliament. In one widely reported incident, Mityana Municipality MP Francis Zaake was assaulted during proceedings on the National Coffee Amendment Bill, allegedly by Kilak North MP Anthony Akol, highlighting rising tensions within the House.

As investigations into Among’s assets continue to expand across Kampala and Bukedea, the political atmosphere remains highly charged. What began as scrutiny of a powerful parliamentary figure has now evolved into a broader national story involving law enforcement operations, legislative legacy debates, and questions over the conduct of Uganda’s highest political offices in recent years.

For now, detectives continue to search, Parliament reflects on its contested legacy, and Uganda watches closely as one of its most influential political figures faces an uncertain chapter beyond the Speaker’s chair.
