The Chief of Defense Forces Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba seems to be back in a tweeting season and has already stirred Ugandan social media with his controversial tweets.
It should be noted that the General has a knack of airing controversial tweets . This not only arouses opinions in Uganda but also globally.
He hasn’t been so active on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform. However, for the past couple of days, social media has been awash with all kinds of tweets from the general.
He has already put out numerous tweets that have generated debates both in the country and outside its borders. In one of his tweets, the General demanded for $100 billion from the USA. This is apparently for the work that the UPDF did in Somalia.
“The USA owes at least $100 billion for our work in Somalia. We did a lot better than the people in Ukraine. It seems their specialty is running from Russians. We are waiting for payment.”
He added that this is the minimum that the USA must pay and very soon they will do so. He added that they will also invite him to visit their army.
Additionally, the first son said that the USA also must apologize to Uganda for removing her from AGOA. Then after this, the East African nation should be reinstated.
He went ahead to say that removing Uganda from AGOA because of homosexuality is a small issue. This is because homosexuals existed in Africa way before the West even smelled civilization.
He also talked about Kamala Harris’ US presidential candidature, saying, “If this beautiful black woman becomes the next President of America, I’ll be the first to salute her! It will be the ultimate poetic justice. They enslaved us, colonized us, oppressed us and all it took was one of our women to bring them to their knees.”
Numerous tweets are still coming out from Muhoozi. And it seems that his followers are enjoying them and asking him for more. However, tweeting such statements by a military officer of his rank may be considered problematic in diplomatic spaces.

![[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.
