A senior politician from the northern region of Uganda has reportedly been living under constant threat since authorities uncovered a large sum of cash concealed in a grain silo on his family’s farm. The cash, estimated at over 10 million Ugandan shillings, was allegedly hidden to evade tax and fund clandestine political activities. Local residents claim the lawmaker, whose name has been withheld for security reasons, has increased his security detail and avoided public appearances. Opposition parties have called for an independent investigation, while the politician’s party insists the money was a personal savings stash misplaced during a recent flood. The incident has sparked a broader debate about corruption and transparency in Ugandan politics.
