A joint security team led by the Criminal Investigations Directorate has searched the residence of former Speaker of Parliament Anita Annet Among as investigations into alleged illicit enrichment and money laundering intensify.
The operation, spearheaded by CID headquarters with support from the Uganda People's Defence Forces and other security agencies, follows reports that President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni ordered a probe into the former Speaker’s wealth and financial dealings.
Investigators are reportedly pursuing lines of inquiry centred on suspected illicit enrichment, corruption, and money laundering. Security operatives conducted a detailed search at Among’s residence as part of efforts to gather evidence linked to the ongoing investigations.
Authorities are yet to issue a comprehensive statement.
The development marks a major escalation in investigations targeting senior public officials over alleged abuse of office and unexplained wealth.
