A Ugandan politician is catching some serious flack online for unapologetically rescinding an ambulance she had gifted to her constituents after they failed to re-elect her in 2021.

The Honorable Evelyn Anite, who is Uganda's Minister of State Privatization and Investment, acknowledged she was bitter over her election loss, and "took back my ambulance" on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Anite was responding to a friend's comment, blasting the account Africa Facts Zone for posting "fake news," noting the politician "can not do that." 

"My dear," started Anita's reply, "I actually did it, and I am very proud of my action. Once they said go away, I packed all my belongings and left them. Now, I hear people crying as if I was the first one to call it quits." 

Anite then noted: "The Bible says the wage of sin is death." 

In a Facebook post addressing the same issue, she wrote, "it's true, I took back my ambulance, and I have no apologies for that. Why did I do it? It's because they didn't vote for me. So did you expect me to walkaway with nothing?"

Several X users urged the politician to display some humility over the situation, while others called Anite out for her disingenuous gift of the ambulance, the exterior of which prominently features her face and name.

One user responded, "So your intentions weren't pure." Another called the ambulance "a trade" for votes that backfired, while another called it a "bribe to get elected."

Still, others applauded Anite for her unabashed "pettiness." 

A number of X users merely chimed in with their own relevant Bible verses about charity and goodwill, including Luke 6:35-36, which reads, "But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." Source: The Messenger News
