TEU Preamble.

“Jerusalem had Golgotha, the Place of the Skull. Uganda now has its own hills: Kigo, Nakasero, Naguru, and Bukedea. And a nation that erects a cross for its own daughter will discover that the nails were forged in its own house.

On Palm Sunday the crowd roared “Hosanna to the Son of David,” and by Good Friday it howled “Crucify him, crucify him” (Matthew 21:9; 27:22-23).

Five days were enough for adoration to curdle into execution. Pilate asked, “Why, what evil has he done?”, but the mob did not answer (Mark 15:14).

Today Rt. Hon. Annette Anita Among (AAA), described in the media as the embattled former Speaker from Bukedea, is being marched toward a Ugandan Calvary.

On Kigo, Nakasero and Naguru Hills, where she has established luxurious residential buildings, armed security operatives, the Uganda Police Force (UPF) personnel and UPDF soldiers backed by detectives and intelligence personnel are scanning and scavenging for evidence of alleged crime.

On Bukedea Hills, her ancestral home, she built the residential structures now under scrutiny. The stones have moved, but the ritual has not.

At Calvary, two thieves were crucified beside Christ. One joined the mockers, the other rebuked them and asked for mercy (Luke 23:39-42).

Using that biblical reference, Archbishop Dr. Daniel Muwanga of Kimaka Faith Fellowship Ministries International stands in the gap like the penitent thief who spoke for mercy. He refuses to join the chorus and instead repeats Christ’s words: “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone” (John 8:7).

This is not an absolution. It is an indictment of hypocrisy, because Paul’s message as recorded in his letter to the Romans 3:23 is clear: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. When a family hangs its children in the public square, it is not cleansing itself. It is setting itself ablaze.

From Hosanna to Calvary: Archbishop Muwanga Says Uganda Is Nailing Anita Among to A Cross on Kigo, Nakasero, Naguru and Bukedea Hills.

The chant “Jail her, jail her” is the same cadence that turned Jerusalem’s Hosanna on Palm Sunday into “Crucify him” on Good Friday Matthew 21:9; 27:23.

Archbishop Muwanga, whose admiration for Rt. Hon. Among’s mobilization acumen is undisguised, says Uganda has reached its Friday, and the cross is being built on home soil. In an exclusive interview with The Exposure Uganda, he described Among as being marched to a modern Golgotha, not on Judean rock but on the hills where she built and now lives.

He recalls the Luganda proverb “Omuti ogukutudde tegukusala”, the tree that gives you shade does not cut you down ,yet here the country is sharpening axes at the roots.

Drawing from the Gospel account, Muwanga likens himself to the penitent thief who rebuked the mockers at Calvary and spoke for mercy Luke 23:40-41. While others condemn, he intercedes. He hurls Christ’s words at the Pharisees of our time: “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone” (John 8:7), and he cites Romans 3: 23: “All have sinned and all are corrupt in one way or the other”, to argue that no Ugandan stands clean enough to be the executioner.

He takes a jibe at Ugandans who steal even mere picktooths, spoons, or table salt, and pack drinks and food from parties.

Others dump garbage, including used pampers and pads, onto streets and backstreets. Others turn drainage systems into washrooms. Others vandalize road furniture, roads, and signposts for schools, hospitals and local government offices simply to sell scraps for quick and dirty money.  “Are these the type of people to condemn Among or others? Woe unto Ugandans”, he laments.

“Mr. President, Do You See the Log in Your Own Eye?”

The Pentecostal archbishop asks whether President Museveni is unaware that many officials in his government have amassed mountains of wealth, stashed cash in homes, yet parade in public as angels.

He recalls Museveni’s caution to former IGG Beti Olive Namisango Kamya, (BONK), when she proposed a lifestyle audit. The President told her to go slow, reasoning that such an audit would panic thieves and drive them to invest stolen money abroad.

The implied position was that a person who steals and builds in Uganda is a better devil than one who bleeds the country and banks overseas.

As they say, you cannot sweep your neighbor’s compound when your own is drowning in rubbish. If that was wisdom then, Muwanga asks, why is it an issue now?

This, he says, is why Among can wail like Shakespeare’s broken king. In King Lear, Act 3, Scene 2, King Lear is driven into a storm by his own daughters after he gave them his kingdom. Homeless and betrayed, he cries: “I am a man more sinned against than sinning”.

Lear (described by his readers as an old daf) admitted his folly, but argued that the cruelty of his children far exceeded his mistakes.

Muwanga adds another layer from the same tragedy. In King Lear, Act 4, Scene 1, Gloucester, after his eyes are gouged, declares: “I stumbled when I saw.”.

He means he only gained true sight after blindness. Lear himself finds clarity in the storm.

“So, it is with Among, she is now seeing properly after the dust of betrayal has filled her eyes. She stumbled when she trusted. She sees now that the same hands she fed are the ones throwing stones”, Muwanga noted.

Muwanga says Among stands in the same storm. She mobilized votes, spent openly, and raised Uganda’s profile with assets like the gifted Rolls Royce. Others hid and banked abroad, yet she alone is being nailed to the cross on the very hills where her houses stand.

The punishment, he argues, far exceeds the alleged crime, and the betrayal comes from those who once knelt and clapped for her favors.

The Rolls Royce Gift and the “Mulamo”

 Muwanga adds that the Rolls Royce, which Ugandans should have been proud of for adding to our inventory of great rides, has become another weapon. He states that the vehicle is a gift, not a purchase. Instead of celebrating that a Ugandan has been honored with such a machine, the public is bashing the woman who received it.

He notes that Among is being referred to as “Mulamo,”a local Kisoga word for in-law, because she is married to FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo, a Musoga from Buyende and MP for Budiope East.

As they say, you do not stone the person who brings a new dish to the village feast. Yet Ugandans, Muwanga argues, have turned pride into ridicule.

Rather than ask how we can expand our automotive and business inventory, we choose to crucify the woman who was gifted the car. The crime, he suggests, is not the Rolls Royce. The crime is that she is visible, powerful, and a woman, and that she accepted honor openly while others hide their wealth in darkness.

“I Am Not Defending Corruption; I Am Defending Dignity”

Muwanga defends his argument and warns it must not be misconstrued as promoting corruption or impunity. He insists that top leaders who have contributed to the nation should not be dumped and humiliated in the public square. There are lawful avenues of rehabilitation, restitution, and due process.

He then poses the question that will shape the next generation of leaders: What will others think once they assume office? If contribution and receiving a gift earn you a cross and humiliation, the lesson is clear. Steal and hide, because if you are exposed you will be dumped and shamed. If you hide well, you survive. As they say, when you kill the messenger who came in the open, you teach the next messenger to come in the dark.

Therefore, Muwanga argues, Uganda must choose between a system that corrects and a culture that crucifies. One builds the nation, the other teaches its best minds to bury their work in darkness.

The Kangaroo Court of Social Media.

Muwanga demands evidence: has any Auditor General’s Report, CID dossier, IGG indictment, State House Anti-Corruption Unit finding, or court order been produced, or is this a political exorcism masquerading as accountability? Or does the President not have faith and confidence in the very institutions his government created to combat graft? He warns that Uganda is convicting a citizen on radio waves and TikTok, not in a courtroom.

He says at Golgotha Rome held a trial, here the jury is a hashtag and the sentence is a meme. As they say, when you beat the drum in the village, the whole world hears your family’s quarrel.

Muwanga adds: “Ugandans have become super mockers who dance at the graveyards of others on social media platforms without fear or shame. But when the same cruel hands of death strike right in their heartbeat, they are quick to cry foul looking for political scapegoats to comfort them.”

He notes that the same MPs who knelt and worshipped Among while seeking freebies have now sprinted to bow before Hon. Jacob Oboth Oboth, the Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba-annointed successor. As they say, when the wind shifts even the banana leaves pretend, they always faced that way.

Muwanga likens the NRM to a large family. A stubborn child is counselled, not executed in the marketplace, and any parent who parades the family’s filth to the village is not brave but suicidal.

He argues that NRM thinks it is exposing Among, but it is confessing to the world that it has presided over abuse, plunder and extravagance while millions of Ugandans cannot afford a single meal.

Some believe this will draw applause as anti-corruption, but the world will remember that the same hands that politically butchered Kadaga now cry crocodile tears over Among. You cannot eat your cake and then demand a refund.

He invokes the ten lepers Luke 17:11-19, arguing that Rt. Hon. Among traversed the country ahead of the 2026 elections mobilizing votes for Museveni and NRM flagbearers, and she delivered.

It is the ingratitude of the nine lepers, he says. Only one returned to thank Jesus. Instead of gratitude, Among is getting a cross. His counsel is to tap her capacity to manage political warfare, flip the opposition, mobilize, and bankroll causes that matter.

His plea is direct: if there is one leader President Museveni and Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba better known as MK need now, it is Annette Anita Among. Not a saint, but a strategist, not perfect, but indispensable.

From Calvary to Kampala: The Reckoning.  

At Golgotha the crowd thought it was killing a threat but it was killing a mirror. The Pharisees thought they were defending the law; they were murdering mercy. Rome exiled Cicero and later begged for his tongue.

Who Was Cicero?

Marcus Tullius Cicero(106-43BC) was Rome’s greatest orator and statesman. He was not a general like Caesar or Pompey. His weapon was his tongue (like Uganda’s Hon Ibrahim Semujju Nganda, Hon Nobert Mao, Hon Jonathan Odur and, Hon Theodore Ssekikubo and Hon Samuel Odonga Otto), speeches that could make or break the audience and government. He defended the Republic, exposed conspiracies, and spoke truth to power.

Why Was He Exiled? 58 BC.

Cicero’s “crime” was that he executed 5 conspirators of the Catiline Plot without a formal trial. He acted to save Rome from a coup.

But his political enemies, led by the tribune Publius Clodius Pulcher, passed a law: “Anyone who executed a Roman citizen without trial shall be exiled”. The law was written specifically to target Cicero.

So, Cicero fled Rome voluntarily to avoid arrest and spent 16 months in Greece and Macedonia, 58-57 BC. He called it the worst period of his life. In letters he wrote: “I have lost the fatherland, my dignity, and my reputation.”

This is the key parallel to Uganda’s Rt Hon Annette Anita Among: He was punished for an act done in service of the state, by the same people who later needed him.

Why Was He Recalled? 57 BC.

Rome realized it had made a mistake, because without Cicero, the Republic was drifting into chaos. The Senate, the people, and even political rivals passed a law to recall him. When he returned, Rome welcomed him like a hero. Crowds lined the streets.

Later, when Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, Rome needed Cicero’s voice again. He delivered the Philippics 14 speeches attacking Mark Antony. That’s the “they later begged for his tongue” part. Antony eventually had Cicero killed and displayed his head and hands in the Forum as a warning: “This is what happens to those who speak.”

The Lesson for Uganda/NRM.

Rome with Cicero  NRM with Among. Exiled him for acting in the Republic’s interest- “Crucifying” her after successfully mobilizing votes openly in 2026.

The lesson is that when a movement starts devouring its own, it is not reforming but panicking, and when a party launders its shame in the market square, it is not transparent but naked.

We Expose. You Decide.
