First Son Muhoozi Kainerugaba Parades ‘Beloved Son’

First son Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba and his eldest son Ruhamya Kainerugaba

First son and Commander Land Forces (CLF) Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba is not only a powerful military officer, and President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s most prominent child, but also a proud father.

Kainerugaba, who some refer to as a tweeting general, is doing a good job parenting his children.

He has now paraded his son, the eldest of his children.

Named Ruhamya Kainerugaba, Muhoozi’s son (and Museveni’s grandson) is now aged 20.

He is currently at the university and his father says he is an interesting son.

“Me with my beloved eldest son, Ruhamya Kainerugaba, 4 years ago. At 16 years old he was already taller than me,” wrote Kainerugaba.

“A young man in university now who is very interesting.”
