According to Muhoozi, the UPDF is his army. He, therefore, wants it back. Muhoozi made sure to put the ‘my army’ in quotation marks to drive his point home.
UPDF is still 'My' Army. Afande Mzee, I want my army back!!
— Muhoozi Kainerugaba (@mkainerugaba) January 18, 2023
“UPDF is still ‘My’ Army. Afande Mzee, I want my army back,” tweeted Muhoozi.
It should be noted that Muhoozi is the commander of the Land Forces for about two years. He was however removed from this role last year and promoted to the rank of a General from Lieutenant-General.
This was after several controversial tweets about security issues in the region. This however didn’t help to arrest the situation as he’s continued to air out these controversial topics via his Twitter page.
Both father and son have been constantly blasted for personalizing the army. In a related incident, Muhoozi also acted his views about Gen Kahinda Otafiire.
Otafiire has seemed to be at loggerheads with Muhoozi over his presidential ambitions. The Minister of Internal Affairs recently trashed Muhoozi’s presidential ambitions while in his constituency.
Muhoozi however said that Otafiire is his uncle and he can’t fight him. To him, he can’t fight his father’s friends.
“Let me make this very clear to the world. General Otafiire is another uncle of mine. He is a close comrade of my father. I will never fight him.”
It seems like Muhoozi won’t ever put on the brakes on his Twitter page. Therefore people have to bare his at times not so appealing tweets.

![[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.
