Security agencies have taken possession of a high-value Rolls-Royce linked to Anita Among, marking a dramatic intensification of the widening corruption probe surrounding the embattled former Speaker.
The Rolls-Royce was picked by police from Anita Among’s home in Kigo, and is expected to be used as an exhibit.
The luxury vehicle was seized in a coordinated operation as investigators move to seize assets believed to be relevant to ongoing inquiries.
The vehicle in question—a Rolls-Royce Cullinan—has been at the centre of public attention due to its staggering cost and the mystery surrounding its acquisition.
Originally purchased abroad and flown into Uganda, the car’s value is estimated to have risen to about Shs3.5 billion after factoring in shipping, taxes, and clearance fees, placing it among the most expensive private vehicles in the country.
Its confiscation comes amid a broader crackdown that has seen security operatives carry out searches on multiple properties associated with Among. These operations, conducted in upscale locations including Kampala’s Nakasero and Kigo areas, are part of a sweeping effort to gather evidence tied to allegations of illicit wealth accumulation and abuse of office.
Officials involved in the enforcement actions say the seizure of the vehicle is not an isolated move, but part of a systematic attempt to identify, document, and secure high-value assets that could form the basis of potential prosecution. The Rolls-Royce, given its visibility and value, is expected to play a key role in the unfolding case.
The vehicle had already sparked widespread public debate after reports emerged that it was received as a personal gift, raising questions about transparency and the ethical boundaries surrounding gifts to public officials. Critics have pointed to the contrast between such displays of wealth and growing concerns about accountability within public institutions.
As investigations deepen, the confiscation of the luxury SUV signals a new phase in the case—one that shifts focus from searches and intelligence gathering to tangible asset recovery. With more properties and assets reportedly under scrutiny, the developments are likely to carry significant political and legal consequences in the weeks ahead.
