Kenyans fires back at Museveni's son over controversial tweets

A remark by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, that it will take him less than two weeks to  Nairobi to capture Nairobi has elicited sharp reactions on social media.

In a tweet, Muhoozi said: 

"It wouldn't take us, my army and me, 2 weeks to capture Nairobi."

The statement caught the attention of Kenyans who fired back at him saying:

"Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba Museveni, Uganda Army Commander & next President of Uganda says it will take his army only two weeks to take over Kenya! I am yet to hear our Army Commander denying or admitting our Army’s ability to defend our borders from the threatened invasion," Lawyer Donald Kipkorir said.

"HE @KagutaMuseveni is your soldier ok ?" Transport and road CS nominee Kipchumba Murkomen asked.

Narok Senator Ledama Olekina tweeted, "A man's worth is not determined by what he revealed to the world but what he hides from the world... Kenya Army stay out! Shhhhhh...."

"The whole of Inspekta Mwala squad would capture Uganda...in 3hrs," a tweep said.

"The only thing Ugandans can capture from Nairobi is the fake certificate they gave our Governor," Gabriel Oguda said.

"Museveni’s Son who is seen partying with Uhuru Kenyatta and thinks Uhuru should have run for the 3rd time is Hallucinating on Capturing Nairobi. Nonsense on Steroids. Keep your Nonsense within your borders," KeeruH@Keerulanah·32m tweeted.

"Museveni’s son shouldn’t tweet while drunk.. he wants to capture Nairobi in two weeks? He must be high on something. He should try and see if he can capture Busia alone," David Mutai tweeted.

"Leave alone our army, Pokots can overthrow your government in less than 24hrs and force Museveni to exile," Austin Tunoi said.

"I think Uganda's President's- H E Museveni's- soldier is hallucinating," @KongelukMaxwell tweeted.

"It’s scary this is the guy who is going to lead Uganda. He has been pro Tigray (and Meles was particularly close to Museveni) but man..this guy is unstable."

"The son of Yoweri Kaguta Museveni now threatens Kenya. According to him, Nairobi is only two weeks, away from his palms. Is Kenya that weak not to defend herself longer than two weeks from Uganda's aggression?" @tjmokello asked.

"Museveni's son is trying to use capture-recapture on us, jamani. Someone tell him Nairobi is hotter than faya. He should ask UK,"@JaneFKyalo said.

Dan Nyagah tweeted, "What is that Museveni son talking about? Uganda cannot beat KENYA in anything. They are just NOTHING compared to KENYA."

"I think Museveni's son is bored and lonely and he's just craving for attention to feel relevant so he decided to provoke KOT in order to get attention. Pathetic. A whole military general of a neighbouring country shouldn't make such reckless statements," @STonkei commented"

"Kenyan Army can't engage in useless fights with a poor and suffering nation. Our professional stone throwers from Luo Nyanza and the Pokot bandits are capable of killing all Ugandans including UPDF if given chance. Museveni," a tweet read.

"East Africa should be united. Forget that mad boy of Museveni. I guess he is looking for popularity," a tweep said.

"Muhoozi Kainerugaba is the Ugandan military commander and son of President Museveni tweeting about capturing Kenya. Imagine this coming from Kenya's military commander. It's worrying!"

"Soon, Museveni will be retracting his son's sentiments, classifying them as hot air and that he tweeted under the influence of the bottle because he is fully aware kanjo can ruthlessly deal with pearl of Africa leave alone Kenya's military."

"Before Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of President Yoweri Museveni thinks of waging a war with Kenya, let him and his father fight Ebola and Joseph Kony," Carrington Mwendwa commented.

"Museveni's son will later say that his account was hacked but in the real sense we know that hackers do not exist in Uganda," read another tweet.
