One month after the UK sanctioned Speaker Anita Among, Dr Mary Goreti Kitutu and Agnes Nandutu, the United States has also announced similar sanctions on the same people people but only added Minister Amos Lugolobi and former Deputy CDF Lt Gen Peter Elwelu.
In a statement released the United States’ Department of State, Anita Among was sanctioned due to corruption related issues at parliament which she heads. Kitutu, Nandutu and Lugolobi despite being jailed last year, Karamoja Mabaati continue haunting them and is the reason for their sanctioning by the US.

Separately, the 2016 Kasese Massacre has also come back to haunt Lt Gen Peter Elwelu who has also been sanctioned by the US over the attack that left several killed and 100s jailed including their King Wesley Mumbere.
Just like he did when the UK sanctioned Speaker Anita Among on 30t April 2024, Bobi Wine has welcomed the US sanctions too with two hands saying it’s the only way that will pump humility in the minds of those who grossly abuse human rights in Uganda.
“Very significantly, the USA has also announced sanctions against Lt. Gen. Peter Elwelu (the immediate past Deputy Chief of Defence Forces) who commanded the killing of over 150 Ugandans in Kasese in 2016. We Welcome these sanctions and appreciate the Government of the United States for listening to the cry of the oppressed people of Uganda”- Bobi Wine post partly reads.
