Muhoozi In Trouble As Kenyan Lawyer Drags Him To Court Over ‘Capture Kenya’ Tweets

A Kenyan lawyer, Apollo Mboya, has filed a case asking the Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi to charge Muhoozi. He asked the court to charge First Son and former Land Forces commander Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba with treason.

In the petition, he drew attention to Muhoozi’s social media comments threatening to launch a military invasion to seize Nairobi.

He says these comments pose a big threat to the territorial integrity of the nation.

“That Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the 3rd Respondent who is a Senior Military Officer in the neighbouring country of Uganda has committed treasonable offences of threatening national security, territorial integrity and sovereignty of Kenya. This is after expressing his intention to launch a military invasion to capture Nairobi, the capital city of the Republic of Kenya within two (2) weeks,” reads the petition.

Mboya says that the situation became worse when Yoweri Museveni, Muhoozi’s dad promoted him to a full general after the remarks.

He points out that Muhoozi has broken Penal Code Section 43 of the Kenyan constitution. This defines a treasonable felony as follows:

“Any person who, not owing allegiance to the Republic, in Kenya or elsewhere, commits any act or combination of acts which, if it were committed by a person who owed such allegiance, would amount to the offence of treason under section 40, is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for life.”

Apparently, on Monday, October 3, 2022, Muhoozi took to his Twitter and posted saying it would take his army and him 1-2 weeks to take over Nairobi.

He added expressing the joy he got when the members of ‘our district in Kenya’ responded to his tweet.

“After our army captures Nairobi, where should I live? Westlands? Riverside?” He tweeted.

Additionally, Mboya requests that the application be certified as urgent and that Muhoozi be given a chance to respond based on the evidence presented.
