Just in, the Speaker of Parliament has come out to refute the allegations that she owns property in the United Kingdom.
Through her X account, she has said, ” While I had chosen not to respond to the pieces of malicious content and schemes thrown at me by various actors from within and outside our country, I wish now to comment briefly on the issue of my alleged ownership of properties in the UK, which is now a subject of diplomatic engagement between our two countries.”
“The alleged house plot, Flat 4, Silk House, 7 Waterden Road, London, E20 3AL, United Kingdom, which they informed the President is owned by myself, surely has an owner who is registered in their own system (the UK Government), and this owner, as per their own record, is not Anita Among.”
“Fellow Ugandans, while this matter is exciting to some because of our own internal political contradictions and intrigue, I insist and wish to alert all, soundly, that the issue is not the alleged corruption or ownership in the UK. The attempts to forge and claim that I own property when their own records show the contrary tell it all. The real crux of the matter is about targeting Anita Among for being vocal against homosexuality. The rest is a cover-up,” she added.
However this comes after the letter dated 23rd May, President Museveni wrote to the Speaker of Parliament to confirm whether the said house in UK belongs to her or she is renting it.
” I have got information that is contrary to what you told me, that you indeed own a house in London in form of Flat 4, Silk House, 7 Waterden Road, London, E20 3AL, United Kingdom,” the letter said
He further said ” By copies of this letter, I direct the Minister of Foreign Affairs to contact the UK Government and get details regarding this house. The IGG is also informed.”
This comes at a time when the Speaker had publicly said that she doesn’t own anything in the UK, not even a pussy cat.
