Operations to recover more assets believed to have been acquired illicitly have resumed at the home of Anita Among in Nakasero in the capital Kampala. More expensive cars were seized from Anita Among’s Nakasero home.
The recovery operations happened in the afternoon of Wednesday, 20 May 2026. Anita Among, the embattled speaker of the 11th parliament and Bukedea District Woman MP, was reportedly at the residence when the vehicles were seized.
Also reportedly at the swanky and well guarded Nakasero residence when the vehicles were seized were lawyers representing the embattled speaker.
Security operatives seized two Toyota Land Cruisers, a Mercedes-Benz with personalised number plate AAA 1 and a Lexus from the Nakasero residence of Anita Among.
The two Land Cruisers, Mercedes-Benz with personalised number plate AAA 1 and a Lexus were towed to Uganda Police Force (UPF) headquarters in Naguru, Kampala.
It is here that the first two vehicles, including a Rolls Royce, were taken.
They were expected to return for more vehicles, according to sources familiar with the ongoing operation.
The crackdown on Anita Among under the anti-corruption operation commonly referred to as Maliza Ufisadi has seen security agencies seize a range of high-value assets from her residences.
Investigators targeted her homes in upscale areas including Nakasero and Wakiso, where joint teams of police, CID, and military personnel conducted extensive searches.
The raids were part of a broader probe into alleged illicit enrichment, abuse of office, and money laundering linked to parliamentary expenditures and personal wealth accumulation.
Among the items reportedly seized were luxury vehicles, including a high-end Rolls-Royce Cullinan said to be worth billions of shillings, which had earlier drawn public scrutiny after being imported into the country.
Authorities also took possession of other vehicles found on the premises, alongside documents believed to be linked to financial transactions, procurement deals, and property ownership. The seizure of such assets is central to efforts to trace unexplained wealth and establish whether public funds were diverted for personal use.
Security operatives also reportedly recovered large quantities of cash and financial records during the searches, although officials have been cautious about publicly disclosing exact figures.
Investigators are focusing on bank accounts, offshore transactions, and networks of associates suspected to have facilitated the movement and concealment of funds.
The operation has involved multiple agencies, including the Financial Intelligence Authority and the Uganda Revenue Authority, working to piece together the financial trail.
The wider Maliza Ufisadi operation—loosely translated as “end corruption”—has been framed by authorities as a sweeping campaign targeting high-level corruption in government.
In Among’s case, the probe follows both domestic complaints and international pressure, including sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom and the United States over corruption allegations. These sanctions had already led to the freezing of some foreign-held assets, reinforcing suspicions about the scale of her wealth.
The investigation remains ongoing, with officials indicating that more assets could be identified and seized as inquiries continue. Detectives have also expanded the probe to include aides and other individuals believed to have acted as intermediaries.
The outcome of the operation is expected to determine whether criminal charges related to money laundering, illicit enrichment, or abuse of office will be formally brought against the former Speaker, marking one of the most high-profile anti-corruption cases in Uganda in recent years.
Meanwhile, guns said to have been imported from Israel have reportedly been found in Anita Among’s homes, while other sources claim that she had plotted to impeach or remove Museveni and take over in 2031. (See Details Here and There).
