The Speaker of Parliament of Uganda Rt Hon Annet Among has denied the allegations pf owning a house in the United Kingdom after the President wrote to the Minister of Foreign Affairs to investigate.
Anita Among issued a statement after the President ot Uganda Gen Museveni directed the Minister of Foreign Affairs Gen Jeje Odong to investigate the said house.
“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” Among stated in a statement.
” I am glad that His Excellency the President of Uganda has given attention to this matter and rightfully chosen to seek the truth through formal diplomatic channels.
Indeed, like the known principle of natural justice recognized in most jurisdictions of the Commonwealth (including Britain), the one who alleges must prove. Since the UK government claims I own property, it should be prudent of them to state which property I own as Anita Annet Among. Forgery should be the least the world can expect from them. I am sure this is the answer my President, our government, and myself want from them. Nothing else” Among wrote in a statement.
“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” said Speaker Among.
Among concluded saying that this was a political issue resulting from what she termed as internal political contradictions and intrigue. She also added that the trap issue was not about corruption or a house in the UK but rather she was being targeted for being vocal against homosexuality.
