‎"Very many people have been arraigned in court on corruption charges but all these are pawns and just being used to be sacrificed. The main people to be charged and sent behind bars are Anita Annet Among, the former speaker and the Hon. Adolf Mwesige, the clerk to parliament who also happens to be the accounting officer at parliament and no single coin can be released without his knowledge. These two are the main culprits and we will all be happy if charged in court and then remanded for the massive corruption we have seen at parliament,” Olanya said.

The prosecution further alleged that between January 2023 and April 2026, Obore, and his accomplices jointly processed, approved and received over UGX 10. 893 billion, knowing at the time of processing and receipt the funds were proceeds of crime. The allegation forms part of the money laundering charges before the court.

"The magistrate has informed us that her ruling is not ready. She has taken note of all the health concerns we raised. She also said she was concerned about the large crowd in court and did not wish to reconvene everyone simply to announce that the ruling was not ready. She further indicated that she intends to write a more detailed ruling on the matter," Sseggona said.

According to the prosecution, the group comprised 54 adults and 13 children, all of whom were unable to produce valid identification or immigration documents. State Prosecutor Abraham Akandehako told the court that their undocumented stay in Uganda contravened the country's immigration laws and posed potential security concerns.
