Price Of The Rolls Royce Cullinan Found At Anita Among's Residence

Of all the vehicles seized from Uganda Parliament Speaker Anita Among's residence during the ongoing corruption raid, one has stopped the conversation dead in its tracks.

The Rolls Royce Cullinan found on her property has been valued at Sh 3.6 billion, a figure so removed from ordinary reality that many Ugandans have struggled to process it.

To put that number in perspective, Sh 3.6 billion could build and fully equip multiple public hospitals.

It could put thousands of children through school for years. It could repair roads in communities that have waited decades for basic infrastructure. Instead, it was sitting in the garage of a public servant.

The Rolls Royce Cullinan is not merely an expensive car. It is the pinnacle of automotive luxury, a vehicle that Rolls Royce itself describes as the most capable and commanding car it has ever built.

It is the kind of purchase associated with royalty, oil billionaires, and global celebrities, not speakers of parliament in a country where millions live in poverty.

The seizure of the vehicle by Ugandan government forces forms part of a sweeping corruption probe that has already uncovered billions of shillings in cash hidden in containers and secret compartments across Among's properties in Kampala and Bukedea.

Foreign currency in US dollars and British pounds was found alongside the local shillings, pointing to a financial operation of considerable sophistication.

Among also faces questions about a designer dress worth Ksh 1.1 million worn to President Museveni's swearing-in, and a fleet of other luxury vehicles including a Mercedes Maybach, Range Rover, and Toyota Land Cruiser, all now in police custody.

The Rolls Royce, however, has become the defining image of this scandal. One car. One public servant. Three point six billion shillings. Uganda is watching and waiting for answers.
