In what looks like a deliberate bid to redirect intense public scrutiny away from grave allegations implicating her in a seemingly multibillion-shilling corruption scandal, Uganda Parliament speaker Anita Among has attacked the LGBTQI+ community and the United States government, saying that they are fighting her because she supported the passing of the Anti-Homosexuality Act. Among’s political career seems to be between a rock and hard place following the latest corruption scandal in her office. An ongoing online campaign aimed at exposing the rot in the parliament of Uganda has uncovered evidence of massive corruption believed to be masterminded by the speaker herself.
