KAMPALA, UGANDA: 18 MAY 2026— In a blistering and deeply personal public letter, former Rubaga Deputy Resident City Commissioner (RCC) Herbert Anderson Burora has broken his silence on the ongoing investigations into former Speaker of Parliament Anita Among, declaring that she “deserves” her current plight and urging her to publicly repent to the citizens of Uganda.
Burora, who was interdicted, stripped of his job, and jailed after publicly accusing Among of massive corruption and self-enrichment using taxpayers’ money, framed her current legal and political troubles as a long-overdue reckoning.
Drawing a sharp contrast between his past state-sponsored persecution and Among’s current fall from grace, Burora stated that while he was an innocent man broken by the state machinery, Among is finally facing the consequences of her own actions.
”I’m sure Anita Among is going through this kind of trauma,” Burora wrote on his social media accounts. “The difference between us: she’s done what she’s accused of, so, she deserves it. I didn’t.”
A Toll of Poison Threats and Family Trauma
In his raw account, Burora detailed the “four excruciating months of running battles” he endured after blowing the whistle on the Speaker. He revealed that he still carries the psychological scars of isolation, prison, and clandestine attempts on his life.
”I kept my smile and appearance but deep inside me, I still remember those poison threats, assassination attempts, the loneliness all in the name of conscious sobriety,” Burora shared, adding that his wife has never fully recovered from the ordeal.
The warfare also targeted his children, forcing his daughter’s school to take drastic measures to shield her from the public fallout.
”My daughter, at school, they used to watch news. The school headteacher banned students from watching news because they didn’t want my daughter to watch her father from prison,” he revealed. “She cost the entire school from what was their right.”
’My Taxes Bought Magogo a Range Rover’
Burora maintained that his original defiance was a legitimate outcry against the theft of public resources that should have funded essential healthcare and education.
”I was just crying that my heritage (taxes) in form of treatment that is meant to treat me at Mulago has bought then Anita’s boyfriend Magogo a Range Rover,” Burora wrote. “I was making noise that funds meant to build a school where my brother depends on public schools in Nakaseke to take his children to school have bought the Speaker’s private residence a generator.”
He argued that the billions allegedly funneled into Among’s personal estate left a trail of human collateral across the country.
”All billions allocated in her unnecessary enrichment could have saved a mother who died in hospital without equipment to hold her breath,” Burora wrote. “In this, we have orphans, we have widows, we have widowers, we have poor people, we have so many victims that are spiritually or invisibly engraved in the greed of Among’s personal enrichment.”
A Call to Repent: ‘Apologize to the Living and the Dead’
Rather than seeking political backrooms to negotiate her survival, Burora explicitly called on Among to experience a genuine spiritual awakening, warning her of “double jeopardy”—divine judgment coupled with earthly disgrace.
”This is the right time for Anita Among to get SAVED as in, BE BORN AGAIN and Apologize not only to [President] Kaguta Museveni or negotiate with [General] Muhoozi Kainerugaba alone, for she has not offended them, she has just ashamed them. The offended are Ugandans who expected to be served justly.”
He warned the former Speaker that her earthly power is expiring and that she must settle her spiritual debts before it is too late. “For Anita’s soul not to wander even when she dies, she will have to apologize to both the dead and alive… To be cursed and tossed on earth and find spirits waiting to torment your spirit when you die as well… Settle your matters while you’re alive.”
The Vanity of Mansions and Monster Cars
Concluding his statement, the ousted official, who signed off as a “Victim of Anita Among,” mocked the luxurious lifestyle the former Speaker built on the backs of taxpayers, daring her wealth to shield her from the public’s wrath.
”You steal to build mansions and monster cars that will be occupied by others without hesitation. Now, let the cars, the mansions, the land, that designer clothes stand up to defend her against angry Ugandans,” Burora wrote.
”Death should teach us more than our greed. This world is not our home. Let’s aspire to build a better community for all of us but not some of us.”
