Speaker Anita Among Returns 500 Iron Sheets Meant for Karamoja Disarmament Programme.

In a bold move, the Speaker of Uganda's Parliament, Anita Among, has returned 500 iron sheets meant for the disarmament programme in Karamoja sub-region, which she received from the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM). 

During the plenary sitting on Wednesday, March 15th, 2023, Among stated that she had taken a personal decision as a leader to return the iron sheets to protect the image of Parliament. 

Among maintained that she had not requested the iron sheets and urged MPs not to consider recipients of the iron sheets as thieves. 

Her actions were commended by MPs who called on other recipients to follow her example. 

The iron sheets saga is currently under investigation by Parliament's Committee on Presidential Affairs.
