For a couple of days, some social group of social media influencers have opened a war on the Rt Hon Annet Anita Among in what they have dubbed as a Parliament Exhibition.
Whereas it would be okay for the country to know what happens in Parliament (both good and bad), when the whole focus is turned to one person, it ceases being an effort to check excesses of an institution but rather a war against that individual. If it is not malice, why would the attention be on the person of Annet Among and not the 500 MPs, or other leaders in Parliament? Why should a 60-year-old institution be personalized to an individual who has been at its helm for only 3 years?
What’s the motivation of these so-called exhibitors? Is it the performance of Parliament as an institution or are they fighting a proxy war? Why don’t they attack the entire Parliamentary Commission or Members of Parliament and its heads like the Deputy Speaker, Clerk and Directors etc.?
It is important to note that one of the exhibitors is Agather Atuhaire, a winner of the European Union Human Rights Award 2023. We all know that the European Union is a body that has been vigorously supporting homosexuality and fighting anyone who dares cross their line, and so when its award winner leads a campaign against a Speaker who spearheaded a law against homosexuality, you can guess the driving force of this exhibition.
It should be on record that following passing of the Anti-gay law, Rt Hon Anita Among was banned from travelling to the United States among other countries. They went ahead and stopped funding some government projects because of this law. This explains how they took this law seriously.
They therefore look at Speaker as an enemy who sabotaged their hegemonic agenda against Africans and so they would go an extra mile to fight her, even if it means sponsoring the likes of Agather and her cohorts.
So this campaign is not about Parliament, Anita Among has never asked for money to go on any official leave abroad, the innocent woman is always in Kampala or in Bukedea serving her community, she barely travels abroad, she heed to Presidents advice of reducing foreign travels to the extent that she even gave birth from Uganda.
The homosexuality sponsors are at it, they are enjoying dollars from Europe and America, they are on a paid mission of mudsling our Speaker, the more they incite Ugandans against Parliament, the more their paychecks raise in dollars!
Fortunately, the enemies of Anita Among will not succeed, she is covered by the blood of Jesus Christ, no amount of homosexual money can fight a leader who is anointed by God. People look up to her as an inspiration from Bukedea, the Eastern Region, Uganda and Africa at large, a woman who rose from grass to grace, through yardwork resilience, her tenacity has rewarded her to where she is, she is indeed Mama Africa!
