To many, this is not a shock at all, Muhoozi has recently become a magnet for controversies lately. Whatever comes out of his Twitter handle somehow makes it to the news, sometimes even to the headlines.
I'm happy to announce that Mr.Andrew Mwenda is the official spokesperson for the MK Army/Movement. All our statements will go through his office.
— Muhoozi Kainerugaba (@mkainerugaba) January 12, 2023
In recent months, the controversial military general has been throwing hints of a possible run for his father’s office come 2026. His attempts may be wobbly and snide but still stands out as an act of defiance to his father.
Muhoozi Kainerugaba recently squared off with Museveni, insisting that no one – and he put that in capital letters – would stop him from anything.
Muhoozi was responding, on his Twitter account, to an interview in which his father threatened to stop him from tweeting.
“We have had this discussion,” the president said, “he will leave Twitter.”
Muhoozi’s Twitter account, with more than half a million followers, has been the headache of Ugandan civil servants and his father. On more than one occasion, government ministers have had to issue clarifications and apologies over tweets sent out by the general.
This appointment of Andrew Mwenda, therefore, perhaps brings in a ray of light to Muhoozi’s rather gloomy and shadowy path to the highest office in the land. Mwenda who at some point tried to contest as National Unity Platform president in the primaries but failed, is the perfect man for the job, at least according to Muhoozi.
In his capacity as spokesman for the MK army as they call it, Mwenda will be in charge of all public statements from Muhoozi. Maybe this time, we will see a more mature and civil approach to his ambitious presidential dreams.
An elite and one of the strongest critics of Bobi Wine, and with media experience spanning decades, Mwenda brings himself to serving Museveni’s notoriously rebellious son in what many will probably see as a bad decision for a veteran journalist of his caliber.
However, Mwenda is known to be one person who always has the inside info, therefore, he might have seen or heard what many have not been able to clearly perceive.

![[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.
