Ugandan authorities have quietly closed a corruption probe against Anita Among, who served as Speaker of Parliament until recently. Among had been placed under house arrest in Kampala in May after a corruption investigation led to the confiscation of her Rolls Royce, but General Muhoozi Kainerugaba — son of President Yoweri Museveni and head of the military — announced on social media that the president had personally ordered her release and that she would not face prosecution. The case drew international attention given that Among had previously faced sanctions from both the United States and the United Kingdom over corruption allegations, and its closure is seen as a sign of the Ugandan military's growing influence over political and legal affairs in the country.
