Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister Norbert Mao is considered the ‘midwife’ of Uganda’s transitional politics from Gen Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni to a new Uganda. But the year by which he thinks Gen Museveni will peacefully hand over power is quite different from the one revealed by first son and senior presidential advisor on special operations Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba. 

Gloves are off. The battle of wits begins in the Constitutional Court of Uganda. It is Justice Esther Kisaakye Kitimbo against six others as she seeks orders to stop them from blocking her salary and allowances, among other key issues.

First son and senior presidential advisor on special operations Muhoozi Kainerugaba has announced celebrations after his father and Ugandan president Gen Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni promoted him from the rank of Lieutenant General (Lt Gen) to General (Gen), the highest in the Ugandan national army, the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF). 

The European Union (EU) has called on the Uganda Police Force (UPF) to release protesters in support of the EU Parliament’s resolution, halting Uganda’s oil projects, particularly the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (Eacop). 

Gen Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni, Uganda’s long-serving president, has promoted his son to the rank of General, the highest in the national army, the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF), eliciting mixed reactions largely focusing on the Museveni succession plot. 

Following first son Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s ‘Nairobi Capture’ posts on micro-blogging site Twitter, President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has told Kenyans to stop taking social media posts as serious foreign policy statements. 

Uganda’s President Gen Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni has reportedly fired his son Lt Gen Muhoozi as the Commander of Land Forces. 

Uganda’s President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni has this morning held discussions — or what some suspect to have been some sort of grilling — with Lt Gen Muhoozi Kaineruga, his son, Commander of UPDF Land Forces and senior advisor on special operations, over ‘scary’ tweets on Nairobi capture. 

Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda’s first son and Commander of the Land Forces of the national army, the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF), is one of the key people in the Museveni succession equation. And the president’s son has made a shocking revelation on this succession plan, giving great insight to political observers into what to expect in the coming years.
