Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon Uganda's ambassador to Kenya over a series of disturbing tweets made by General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
Cherargei said the sensational statements made by President Yoweri Museveni's son — currently serving as the commander of the land forces of the Uganda People's Defence Force — threatened the unity of the East Africa Community.
“I expect by morning, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon the Ugandan ambassador to shed light on Gen. Muhoozi's social media outbursts & subsequent apology. This is undermining the spirit of unity of EAC," Cherargei said.
"Let's Make East Africa great,” gets added.
In his first hard-hitting tweet that whipped up an uproar, Muhoozi said it wouldn't take the Ugandan army two weeks to capture Nairobi.
He further said that Uhuru could have won the presidential elections if he had offered to vie for a third time.
Kainerugaba said Uhuru had all the trappings he needed to seal a third term in office but he squandered the opportunity.
"My only problem with my beloved big brother is that he didn't stand for a third term. We would have won easily!" he said.
Muhoozi rubbed salt on the wounds his earlier tweets had inflicted with a subsequent rhetorical question.
"I'm happy that members of our district in Kenya, have responded enthusiastically to my tweet. It's still 2 weeks to Nairobi! After our army captures Nairobi, where should I live? Westlands? Riverside?" he posed in another tweet.
"Haha! I love my Kenyan relatives. Constitution? Rule of law? You must be joking! For us, there is only the Revolution and you will soon learn about it!" he said.
Muhoozi, 49, rose to his current rank following his appointment 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.
