Uganda's president Yoweri Museveni's son Muhoozi Kainerugaba no says he was willing to be deployed to provide security at Northlands City, a farm owned by the Kenyatta family.

Northlands City was invaded by intruders who destroyed properties, looted sheep and set the farm on fire.

Muhoozi said he was willing to be deployed at the farm to provide security saying a section of Kenyans who invaded the farm deserves a beating.

The scion however said his father was hesitant at allowing him to take charge of the farm.

"I asked Mzee to deploy me as the OC (Officer Commanding) at Northlands. All we need is 200 UPDF soldiers to bring order. He asked me why? I told him that the Kenyans need a good beating. He refused," Muhoozi tweeted.

Dozens of unknown people on Monday raided a Kenyatta family-owned land along the Eastern Bypass, Ruiru, and destroyed property.

The group was armed with power saws and machetes and felled a number of trees before escaping with an unknown number of sheep from there.

This is after they breached a fence around the expansive farm.

Witnesses said the gang gained access to the land from the Kamakis side via the busy bypass and some were seen carrying sheep from the property.

Brookside Dairy and Peponi School are among the high-end properties situated inside the vast property.

The motive of the invasion was seen to be organized by those opposed to the ongoing protests against the government.
