Uganda opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine has sympathized with Kenyans over the remarks by President Yoweri Museveni’s son Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
On Monday, the scion went on a Twitter meltdown, warning that he would need less than two weeks to capture Nairobi together with his army.
“Dear Kenyans, you now understand what it means to live in Uganda under Gen. Museveni and his son, whom he gifted the highest military ranks and put him in charge of our land forces!” he said.
Kainerugaba, aged 49 serves s the commander of the land forces of the Uganda People Defence Forces (UPDF).
He was appointed by his father to the position in June 2021.
It was the second time Museveni was promoting his son, in the hierarchy of the army in a span of six months.
Bobi Wine went ahead and referred to Kainerugaba’s tweets as senseless branding him as a monster.
“Sadly, beneath the senseless tweets lies a monster who brutalises and tortures our people for fun!” he added.
In his series of controversial tweets, Kainerugaba referring to former President Uhuru Kenyatta as his “big brother blamed him for failing to run for the presidency for a third term, adding he could have easily won the election.
"My only problem with my big brother is that he did not stand for a third term. We would have won easily," he posted on Twitter.
Museveni’s son further degraded the Kenyan Constitution saying that Uhuru should have changed the constitution to remain in power.
"Haha! I love my Kenyan relatives. Constitution? Rule of law? You must be joking! For us (Uganda), there is only the Revolution and you will soon learn about it!" he said.
According to Kenyan law, once a Head of state serves for two terms, he cannot contest for a third term.
Not done with Kenya, Kainerugaba claimed that it will take him, and his army less than two weeks to take control of Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya.
"It wouldn't take us, my army and me, 2 weeks to capture Nairobi," he tweeted.
