In a delightful turn of events, Hon. Anitah Among, the esteemed Speaker of Uganda's Parliament, has given birth to two bundles of joy and the nation can't help but celebrate! Husband Moses Magogo is overwhelmed with excitement and joy.
The news of this joyous occasion was shared with the world by none other than Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa, who took to his X-platform (formerly known as Twitter) to spread the wonderful news.
"With great joy, I congratulate my brother Moses Magogo and my sister, the Rt. Hon. Speaker, Among, on the double bundles of joy. You’re now Ssalongo and Nnalongo. Congratulations once again!" exclaimed Tayebwa, expressing his heartfelt happiness for the couple.
This exciting development follows a heartwarming moment earlier this year when Speaker Among made a special request to His Holiness Pope Francis during a visit to Rome in August. During the meeting, the Speaker took the opportunity to share her pregnancy news with the Pope and asked for his blessing.
Speaker Among's journey to motherhood has been a captivating one. In August 2022, she tied the knot with Moses Magogo, who not only serves as the Budiope East Member of Parliament but also holds the prestigious role of President of the Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA). Their marriage was marked by an intimate private ceremony in Kampala, following a closed-door introduction ceremony in Bukedea District.
With great Joy, I congratulate my brother @MosesMagogo and my sister the Rt. Hon Speaker @AnitahAmong upon the double bundle of joy. You are now Ssalongo and Nnalongo. Congratulations once again.
