Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Muhoozi Kainerugaba has said what he would do when he eventually captures Nairobi (the capital city of Kenya). (Read More Here).
Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the son of Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni, says his Monday Twitter post on invading Kenya’s capital Nairobi was a joke misconstrued as Uganda’s attempts at breaching Kenya’s sovereignty.
Muhoozi, the leader of Ugandan army, sparked anger on social media, when he said it won’t take him two weeks to enter Kenya, capture Nairobi and make the city a part of Uganda’s territory.
“It wouldn’t take us, my army and me, two weeks to capture Nairobi,” he said on Twitter, a post that attracted more than 6,000 retweets and 8,500 comments.
Kainerugaba said Uhuru had all the trappings he needed to seal a third term in office but he squandered the opportunity.
“My only problem with my beloved big brother is that he didn’t stand for a third term. We would have won easily!” he said.
Muhoozi rubbed salt on the wounds his earlier tweets had inflicted with a subsequent rhetorical question.
“I’m happy that members of our district in Kenya, have responded enthusiastically to my tweet. It’s still 2 weeks to Nairobi! After our army captures Nairobi, where should I live? Westlands? Riverside?” he posed in another tweet.
“Haha! I love my Kenyan relatives. Constitution? Rule of law? You must be joking! For us, there is only the Revolution and you will soon learn about it!” he said.
Muhoozi, 49, rose to his current rank following his appointment in June 2021. It was the second time Museveni was promoting his son in the hierarchy of the army in six months.
Upon receiving backlash, from Kenyans and Ugandans, Muhoozi said his tweets were misconstrued, and that he was only joking on the micro-blogging site.
“I would never beat up the Kenyan army because my father (President Yoweri Museveni) told me never to attempt it. So, our people in Kenya should relax,” he said in a Monday evening tweet.
The 48-year-old further chided Kenya for observing the rule of law and democracy, saying if former president, Uhuru Kenyatta, was a Ugandan, he’d have run for a third term against the dictates of the Constitution.
“I would never beat up the Kenyan army because my father told me never to attempt it! So our people in Kenya should relax,” Muhoozi tweeted.
Muhoozi went ahead to thank his East African supporters for helping him attract 600k followers on Twitter.
“Thank you, my followers. Let’s make it to 1 million soon. I appreciate the love. Let me see how many East Africans still love me. Retweet and like for our project!”
He said he harboured no grudge against Kenyans who had jammed his Twitter page to scorn him for his sensitive utterances on Monday.
“KOT, I forgive you all for the insults you have hurled against me. Please let’s work together to make East Africa great.” “KOT, I forgive you all for the insults you have hurled against me. Please let’s work together to make East Africa great.”
In his first hard-hitting tweet that whipped up an uproar, Muhoozi said it wouldn’t take the Ugandan army two weeks to capture Nairobi.
He further said that Uhuru could have won the presidential elections if he had offered to vie for the third time.
