Ugandan General Muhoozi makes remarks on politics
Recent remarks by Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, have sparked widespread discussion on social media. These comments gained more attention after being shared by Chris Magezi, the Military Assistant responsible for Public Relations.
One of the key statements by Gen. Kainerugaba was about his plan to establish a bank using funds that the Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) had previously recovered. He explained that this money had been misused in the past but would now serve soldiers, aiming to improve their financial situation.
Another post by the General focused on his admiration for certain world figures, including former U.S. President Donald Trump and King Charles III. He also made a bold statement about what defines true manhood, linking it to enjoying Uganda’s milk, beef, and women, under what he described as God's grace.
However, the most controversial remark was directed at opposition leader Kizza Besigye. Gen. Kainerugaba stated that Besigye would leave prison in one of two ways—either in a coffin after being executed or on his knees apologizing to President Museveni. This statement has drawn significant criticism, with many people accusing him of promoting violence.
His remarks have led to intense debates, with some questioning whether such statements are appropriate for someone in his position.
