The Inspector General of Government (IGG) has arrested Parliament's Director of Communication and Public Affairs, Chris Obore, and several officials in connection with ongoing investigations into the alleged abuse of office and misuse of public funds.
IGG Aisha Naluzze has been investigating several current and former Parliament officials since the fall of former Speaker Anita Among in May 2026.
Also arrested on Thursday morning are Daniel Adilo, the director HR, and Methods Murebe, the chief executive of parliamentary Sacco.
The officials are being investigated over allegations of abuse of office and the management of public funds.
Over the past several weeks, a number of Parliament officials have been reporting to the Inspectorate of Government offices to respond to queries regarding funds allegedly withdrawn through personal accounts and to explain how the money was utilised.
Former Speaker Anita Among has not been arrested. However, security agencies have conducted searches at her residences in Kampala, Kigo and Bukedea, as well as at her former office at Parliament, as part of the ongoing investigations.
The Inspectorate of Government has not yet publicly disclosed the specific charges, if any, that Obore and Kunobwa may face.
The investigations remain ongoing.
