“The UK has punished Uganda’s parliament Speaker and two MPs for alleged corruption, accusing them of stealing from the country’s poorest communities.
They face travel bans and asset freezes.
The British Foreign Office claims the MPs embezzled metal roofing sheets meant for vulnerable areas, while the Speaker is accused of misusing parliamentary funds.
The Speaker denies the allegations, suggesting they stem from her support for Uganda’s anti-LGBT laws.
