Anita Among

Anita Among holds a unique place in Ugandan political history as the second woman to serve as Deputy Speaker and the second woman to lead the Parliament of Uganda. Her appointment as Speaker in 2022 marked a significant milestone for gender representation in the country's highest legislative body. Beyond her political titles, she has been recognized for her tangible contributions to community development. The commissioning of the Bukedea Teaching Hospital and the Bukedea Comprehensive Sports Park by President Museveni in 2024 serves as official recognition of her efforts to improve education and healthcare in her district. While she lacks international accolades, her domestic impact as a legislator and entrepreneur remains substantial.
