The government has defended the Chief of Defense Force Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s right to make political statements.
Deputy Attorney General Jackson Kafuzi and the Minister for Information and National Guidance Chris Baryomunsi said as any other citizen, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba has a right to all freedoms enshrined in the Bill of Rights.
Kafuzi particularly said the constitution and the UPDF act that bars serving army officers from engaging in partisan politics don’t in any way take away a person’s right to freedom of expression and conscience
Mr. Kafuzi speaking…
The comments were prompted by a point of procedure raised by the MP for Kira municipality Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda who wondered whether the utterances of Muhoozi don’t contravene the constitution and the UPDF Act. Hon. Ssemujju speaking…..
Over the weekend, Muhoozi made several political comments using his X page. In one of the posts, Muhoozi said he would not contest the presidency in 2026 but would instead support his father Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. END.
