That was the message he sent out to an acclaimed journalist, Charles Onyango Obbo.
The Commander of the Land Forces in a tweet directed to the journalist reminded him that he used to tell him (Muhoozi) that there is nothing mightier than the pen.
Yet according to Muhoozi who wields the power of the gun, he has more Twitter followers than Onyango Obbo who wields the pen.
“My big brother @cobbo3, you remember you told me in 1998 in Muyenga that the pen was greater than the sword. But now I have more followers than you on Twitter. So maybe the sword is actually greater than the pen,” Muhoozi said.

Onyango Obbo however replied Muhoozi saying that determining Twitter following is very problematic.
He proceeded to give examples of people who have a lot of Twitter followers than Muhoozi that have no gun. The journalist gave an example of South African comedian Trevor Noah who has a big following yet has no guns.
“Well, Twitter followers as an index is very problematic, but I see that Daily Monitor, the guardians of the Pen, with 1.2M has nearly 3 times yours and mine (.@ntvuganda has 1.5M) .@Trevornoah has 11.6M – so, comedy is mightier than many guns? Wd be an interesting debate,” Charles Onyango Obbo replied.
The first son was not having any of the journalist’s views as the debate was specifically between the two of them.
He asked him not to divert from the topic. Muhoozi added that he will probably have many Twitter followers than anyone in Africa.
“Don’t divert me with @Trevornoah. I shall overtake him one day. Once enough Africans hear the good news that President @KagutaMuseveni brought to them. My point is that I have beaten you in terms of followers. Ugandans/Africans want to hear messages of our revolution,” the General added.
A quick look at the two public figures shows that Muhoozi has 486.5k Twitter followers. Charles Onyango Obbo on the other hand has 482.5k followers. This makes it just a small margin.

![[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.
