Embattled former Speaker of 11th Parliament, Rt. Hon. Anita Annet Among has sent a message of congratulations to Rt. Hon. Oboth Oboth Jacob Markson and Rt. Hon. Thomas Tayebwa on their election as Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the 12th Parliament respectively.

 

Anita Among who is being investigated on allegations of illicit wealth accumulation and money laundering took to her X-Account on Tuesday, May 26, 2026 saying she sincerely wishes you (the two) success in your service to our country.

 

“I join my colleagues in congratulating Rt Hon @Oboth Oboth and Rt Hon @Thomas Tayebwa on their election as Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the 12th Parliament. I have no doubt that your leadership will bolster the legislative agenda and promote outcomes that serve our nation’s best interests. I sincerely wish you success in your service to our country,” Anita posted.

 

The congratulatory message is widely seen as a mature reaction considering that she was forced out of the race for Speakership amidst investigations into her wealth after the discovery that she recently bought a Roll Royce estimated to cost Shs3.5 billion.
