The outgoing speaker of parliament Annet Anita Among, who since, Thursday May 14 when president Museveni convened a meeting at state house Entebbe in which increminating evidence was adduced pinning her of massive impropriety, has at long last succumbed to pressure and given up for the race of Speaker for Uganda’s 12th Parliament.

After the Entebbe meeting, a series of investigations against Anita at her various homes and properties in Kampala  had started. Police is steadfastly doing this and according to reliable sources, investigantions may be extended to her Bukedea district.

RE: SPEAKERSHIP RACE
I wish to draw the attention of the public to the matters regarding the Speakership race.
After wide consultations and deep introspection, and to maintain harmony and clarity in my beloved party, the @NRMOnline, I wish to categorically and unequivocally state that I will not be offering myself for the Speakership race of the 12th Parliament.
I am greatly indebted to H.E @KagutaMuseveni, my party, the @NRMOnline, and members of the 11th Parliament for giving me the opportunity to serve as Deputy Speaker and Speaker.
I am equally indebted to my family and friends for the solidarity and support they have extended to me over the last five years.
I pledge my total support to the candidates who will be endorsed by the President and the Party, and Implore all colleague MPs of the 12th Parliament to do the same.
I shall remain available to the service of my country as the party and the President may assign me.
In the meantime, I pledge to continue cooperating with all ongoing investigations as initiated by the relevant organs of the state to get to the root of all the allegations raised.
FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY.
ANITA ANNET AMONG
