Deputy Speaker, Anita Among has spoken out on the recent purported dossier gathered by security organs detailing her financial scandals, telling off her haters to go hang.

Hon. Among said  she is not scared and none of her tormentors  will stand in her way to serve as deputy and  Speaker for 20 years.

 Addressing a parliamentary session to pay   tribute to the first female legislator  Florence Lubega, Among asked  her tormentors to come up with better tricks instead of  current threats directed at her.

She was  provoked   by Hoima  woman  Harriet Businge who said that late former legislator  Lubega did whatever she did because of the conducive environment accorded to her by this nation  calling on  Ugandans to offer the same environment to the current female leaders.

The debate was further resurrected by Dokolo woman mp  Cecilia Ogwal who asked the Deputy Speaker to institute an investigation into the origin of the dossier, saying such attacks targeting women are not  new .

Ogwal said such attacks  started with  former Vice President Specioza Kazibwa, then former Speaker Rebecca  Kadaga and the country is now  witnessing the  same attacks on  Deputy Speaker.

But deputy speaker Among rubbished off calls for an investigation urging her supporters to stay calm noting that in leadership, one will always face some adversaries.

''True power is about sitting back and watch the situations unfold.'' Among noted 

Over the weekend, social media was awash with a purported dossier targeting Among with claims that her friendship with President Yoweri Museveni had come to an end and the President is plotting to relieve her of her juicy Deputy Speaker job.
