Britain sanctions three Ugandan officials under anti-corruption laws
Britain sanctioned the speaker of the Ugandan parliament, Anita Among, and two lawmakers from the east African country under its anti-corruption laws, official documents published on Tuesday showed.
The document said: "Specifically, Among, whilst Speaker of Parliament of Uganda and Member of Parliament for Bukedea District, is or has been responsible for or engaged in serious corruption." It also named two members of parliament, Mary Kitutu and Agnes Nandutu, and said Britain had grounds to believe they had been involved in the improper diversion, grant or allocation of iron sheets for the benefit of others.
