Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has yet bagged another achievement in mending the relationship between neighboring countries Uganda and Rwanda.
Despite performing a role that does not fall in his jurisdiction as the Commander of the Land Forces, Muhoozi has been a key player in mending the seemingly broken relationship between the two East African countries.
The new achievement will see Rwanda permit greater movement of people. This development will come into effect from the 7th of March 2022.
The General took to his Twitter page to appreciate ‘his uncle’ President Paul Kagame for reuniting the peoples of the two nations.
“As of Monday 7th March my uncle His Excellency President Kagame has permitted greater movement of people across our borders! I thank him very much for re-uniting our people. I also thank him for being a great hero,” Muhoozi tweeted.
It should be recalled that after failure of different delegates from either countries failing to restore the relationship between Uganda and Rwanda, Muhoozi managed to achieve this.
It was shortly after his meeting with President Paul Kagame that the Gatuna border got reopened. This had been closed for a period of 3 years.
Gen Muhoozi also reveals what his dad told him
In related events, Muhoozi also revealed what his father told him as young kid. This was in relation to becoming as great as his father, Gen Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
Muhoozi said that Museveni told him how he had to suffer for Uganda as the latter did.
According to the first son, he thinks he has taken this sacrifice and it will be Ugandans to decide whether he’s achieved it.
“My father, President @KagutaMuseveni, told me as a young child ‘You will only be as great as me if you are willing to suffer for Uganda as I have!’ Ugandans will make their decision if I have walked in his footsteps,” Muhoozi added.
A number of people especially from the Opposition have accused Museveni of grooming his son to take over power.
Both parties have however always denied these allegations saying Ugandans have a right to choose their leader.
However, Muhoozi’s current Twitter activity and diplomatic missions suggests otherwise.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
