What the report says

Uganda’s military and political circles were drawn into fresh attention after Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba posted on X that there would be no party for Anita Annet Among and warned that anyone involved could be arrested. The remarks appeared to respond to reports that Masaka City Woman MP and State Minister Justine Nameere was helping organize a celebration for the former Speaker of Parliament.

The Watchdog Uganda report says the planned gathering was linked to Among’s recent release after a period of restriction tied to earlier anti-corruption scrutiny. The article says Muhoozi had previously said President Yoweri Museveni had decided to forgive Among and that prosecution would not proceed, but it also emphasizes that unresolved cases remained in the background. In a later post cited by the publisher, Among herself denied that she or people associated with her had organized any party.

The development matters because it shows how quickly a private or political celebration can become a public test of loyalty and authority in Uganda’s ruling circles. It also highlights the continuing sensitivity around Among’s status after her fall from the speakership and the earlier search and seizure actions at her properties. The report frames the episode as part of wider power dynamics involving the NRM, the Patriotic League of Uganda, and figures linked to recent leadership battles.
