The Inspector General of Government (IGG), Aisha Nalule Baatala, has formally submitted her comprehensive investigation report regarding alleged corruption and illicit enrichment involving former Speaker of Parliament Anita Among to President Yoweri Museveni.
Sources familiar with the inquiry reveal that the dossier was delivered to the President early last week, arriving just before the 12th Parliament formally elected Jacob Marksons Oboth (Oboth-Oboth) as the new Speaker and Thomas Tayebwa as Deputy Speaker.
While the findings of the report are strictly classified, the submission represents a major milestone in an intense public accountability drive tracking the wealth, office management, and lifestyle choices of the former legislative head.
The Anatomy of the Investigation
The IGG’s investigation gained severe momentum early last month following a closed-door meeting between President Museveni, Inspector General Aisha Nalule Baatala, and her deputies. Investigators were tasked with executing a complete forensic reconciliation of Ms. Among’s legally declared income and assets against her actual property portfolio and expenditures.
This institutional audit was accelerated by a formal petition submitted in mid-May by a coalition of legal activists and civil society organizations. The petitioners charged that the outgoing Speaker committed a clear breach of the Leadership Code Act, prompting the inspectorate to initiate a formal statutory probe.
Operation Maliza Ufisadi: Raids and Asset Seizures
The IGG’s final filing operates in parallel with a massive, multi-agency security sweep dubbed “Operation Maliza Ufisadi” (Operation End Corruption). Publicly championed by the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, and executed by the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), the initiative has targets sweeping across the state’s financial networks.
As part of these joint operations, heavily armed security details carried out coordinated raids on Ms. Among’s primary residences spanning:
-
Kampala City: Luxury properties located in Nakasero and Ntinda.
-
Wakiso District: A residential complex in Kigo.
-
Bukedea District: Her regional upcountry homestead.
During these operations, enforcement officers impounded a fleet of high-end vehicles. Among the seized assets was a custom Rolls-Royce valued at Shs 3.4 billion and a bespoke Range Rover, both of which were towed under heavy security to the Police Headquarters in Naguru for forensic audit. The raids occurred shortly after a private meeting at State House, where Ms. Among subsequently abandoned her campaign to retain the speakership.

├── Custom Rolls-Royce (Estimated Value: Shs 3.4 Billion)
├── Customized Range Rover SUV
└── Additional High-End Foreign-Registered Vehicles
Official Silence and Executive Next Steps
Despite the high profile of the file transfer, top government communication hubs have maintained a strict informational blackout.
When pressed for official validation, Presidential Press Secretary Sandor Walusimbi stated he was not yet aware of the physical delivery, noting that the content remains entirely classified. Similarly, IGG Spokesperson Munira Ali declined to comment on the internal movement of the document.
The final submission matches President Museveni’s recent, high-visibility declaration of a “Term No More Sleep” anti-corruption mandate, unveiled during his inauguration at the Kololo Independence Grounds on May 12. With the file now sitting directly on the executive desk, the state awaits the President’s directive on whether to sanction formal criminal prosecutions through the Director of Public Prosecutions or implement strict administrative forfeitures.
