In an exclusive interview, Museveni revealed that he held some talks with his son about the recent tweets. Apparently, the president ordered Gen. Muhoozi to avoid involvement in partisan issues in Uganda or other countries.
“If he was tweeting on sports — things which are not controversial — that would not be a problem; but to talk about other countries or even the partisan politics of Uganda, that he must not do,” an unequivocal Museveni stated.
The new general needs to be careful about what he tweets according to his dad.
President Museveni however denied favoring his son in the face of a controversy that almost insinuated a war between Uganda and Kenya.
He recalled a part of his apology to Kenya where he said his son has done so much for the country. Therefore, the president said that this single mistake should not be held against him.
On a note of relief, these reports come as the activity on Gen. Muhoozi’s timeline has majorly reduced over the past few days.
In the last two days, Muhoozi had only tweeted about a planned visit to what he described as his true motherland – Tanzania. And then an apology to Ruto yesterday.
Background; Early in October, Muhoozi sent out a couple of provocative tweets. One of which suggested a unification of Kenya and Uganda. The other, he offered to marry Italy’s next leader.
Muhoozi asked his more than 600,000 Twitter followers how many cows should be offered as bride price for Giorgia Meloni. Giorgia is the right-wing politician expected to be named Italy’s Prime Minister this month.

![[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.
