Recently, some individuals orchestrated a now popular online activism known as the #UgandaParliamentaryExhibition on X platform, formally Twitter hell bent on demanding for accountability from those who hold public offices. The exhibition unearthed shocking revelations that pinned legislators and the Speaker of Parliament in particular of misappropriation of public funds, graft, abuse of power and nepotism.

After some time of dead silence since the exhibition began, Museveni eventually broke the silence by dismissing the accusations against his darling Anita Annet Among.

While launching the Bukedea Teaching Hospital and Bukedea College of Health Sciences both established by Among in Bukedea district today, Museveni reiterated that the problem is not Among, but those questioning her opulent lifestyle and exposing the grand abuse of office a group he packaged as outright traitors influenced by foreigners and homosexuals.

"The real problem we have is the traitors working for foreigners. They are not mistake makers but outright traitors working for wrong foreigners like homosexuals and imperialists. How can you talk so much on social media about Anita Among instead of those traitors? " He demanded.

Amidst praises to Among, Museveni continued and threatened to expose those he believes to be working for the gay community by malicing the government he heads.

"I'm getting intelligence, and we are going to expose those traitors." He added.

The revelations also involved some opposition legislators who purportedly collected colossal sums of money for foreign trips which they never took in real time.

The exhibition also caused the embattled former Leader of Opposition (LOP) Mathias Mpuuga fall out with his National Unity Platform party and demanded to resign from the position of commissioner of Parliament after leveling accusations of corruption against him.
