KAMPALA, Uganda — Seven official parliamentary vehicles assigned to former Speaker Anita Annet Among have been withdrawn from her residence in Nakasero and returned to Parliament, in line with procedures governing the handover of state property.
The vehicles, including police escort units, lead convoy cars and utility vehicles used during her tenure, were transferred back to the parliamentary fleet as part of the formal transition process following her exit from office.
Officials said the move followed communication from the Office of the Clerk to Parliament, which is responsible for managing and accounting for government assets assigned to parliamentary leadership.
Under Uganda’s Parliamentary Pensions Act, a retiring Speaker or Deputy Speaker is required to immediately surrender official vehicles and other state resources upon leaving office.
The Parliamentary Commission is mandated to inventory all government-purchased assets, audit their condition and prepare them for reassignment to incoming office holders.
Sources indicated the returned vehicles will undergo inspection, servicing and documentation before being redeployed.
The handover of official vehicles comes amid a broader and intensifying investigation into Among’s personal wealth and assets.
Earlier this week, security agencies seized several privately owned luxury vehicles from her Nakasero residence, distinct from the official parliamentary fleet.
Those impounded assets, reportedly including high-end models such as a Rolls-Royce, were transported to the Naguru Police Forensics Headquarters for detailed examination as part of an ongoing probe into alleged illicit enrichment and possible financial misconduct.

Authorities have also reportedly recovered cash, high-value jewellery and electronic devices, while some bank accounts linked to the former Speaker have been frozen pending investigation.
Investigators have since extended operations beyond Kampala, with teams reportedly dispatched to Bukedea District to search for additional evidence linked to the case.
The widening inquiry is also said to involve scrutiny of individuals across multiple state institutions, including Parliament, government ministries, the judiciary and the Electoral Commission (EC).
Among has previously denied wrongdoing and pledged to cooperate with investigators.
