The Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among has asked Uganda Communications Commission to go after Ugandans who abuse her on social media.
Among told MPs during plenary on Wednesday that she had wrongly been accused of barking at Minister, David Bahati.
“I am lucky that I am not on social media because I don’t like stress. There was something written on social media circulating that yesterday that I barked at Minister Bahati, as being one of the worst Ministers in capable of running the Ministry of Trade, that is why traders are striking. This is very false, very untrue and too malicious. I want UCC to investigate this and I want to get the sponsors of this,” Among said.
Among has in the last month or so been in the news after being accused of “unnecessary expenditures” and blowing taxpayers’ money.
Netizens, especially on social media have since asked Among to resign following the exposure that depicted huge sums of money she has spent on unnecessary items.
