Uganda's new parliament speaker promised on Monday to rid the legislative house of corruption after his predecessor was placed under investigation for alleged corruption.
Jacob Oboth-Oboth, a former defence and veterans affairs minister, was elected with a majority of votes in the parliament, succeeding Anita Among.
Among has been confined to her home in Kampala, according to security sources, after a corruption investigation that saw her offices searched and her lavish car collection, which included a personalised Rolls-Royce, confiscated.
