Speaker Among denies 'swallowed the opposition' remarks in Parliament, calls for arrest of AI video makers

Civic Space & Media Freedom Disputed Kampala 24 Apr 2026 Severity: 1/5

According to ChimpReports, Erute South MP Jonathan Odur raised in plenary a video, aired by UBC TV from a dinner the previous evening for CDF Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, in which Speaker Anita Among appeared to say the opposition had been swallowed and would be "walloped" in the 12th Parliament. The Speaker told the House the clip was AI-generated, said she had not made the remarks, and said people creating such videos should be arrested; Odur asked her to act impartially.

Disputed: Speaker Among says the video of her remarks is AI-fabricated, while ChimpReports says UBC TV footage from Thursday's dinner shows her making them.
