Let's Help Zaake Drag AAA to His 'Real Leadership' Lessons

What the report says

Nile Post published a satirical commentary centered on Mityana Municipality MP Francis Zaake and Speaker Anita Among, referred to in the column as “AAA.” The piece says Zaake had earlier promised to teach Among “real leadership” after Parliament formed committees and Among became an ordinary member of the Committee on Government Assurance and Implementation, the committee Zaake is linked to in the article.

The commentary’s main point is that the anticipated confrontation or “lesson” has not happened because Among has not appeared before the committee. It uses comic rural imagery and classroom metaphors to portray Zaake as a prepared teacher whose only student is absent. The article also says ordinary parliamentary committee business has continued, with officials and ministers appearing, while the expected encounter between Zaake and Among remains missing.

Nile Post’s column further refers to social media updates by journalist Dickens Okello, saying Among is unwell and could need specialised medical treatment abroad. The writer treats this cautiously and jokingly suggests that if Parliament must approve any medical referral, Zaake’s committee could review it or even conduct “bedside tutorials” in Kampala to save public funds. These remarks are presented as satire rather than a formal report of parliamentary action.

The piece matters mainly as political commentary on tensions inside Uganda’s Parliament and the symbolic rivalry between Zaake and Among. It reflects public interest in committee roles, accountability politics, and the visibility of senior parliamentary figures, while offering no confirmed outcome on Among’s health, travel plans, or any official committee summons.
