Muhoozi in a series of tweets said that it would take him just two weeks together with his army to capture Nairobi. Museveni came out and apologized on behalf of his son through his Twitter page. This wasn’t the first or last time that the ex-commander of land forces is posting erratic controversial tweets.
While speaking to Kenyan journalist Sophia Wanuma, Museveni was questioned whether he would have issued the same apology had it been any other military/government official or if the law works differently with Muhoozi. Museveni replied by saying that Africa has got a lot of problems. And as much as he’s aware, tweeting is not among them.
The President added that his son will immediately leave Twitter. This is a discussion they have had although the platform is not a problem but rather what one tweets.
“Africa has got a lot of problems. Tweeting is not one of them. Muhoozi will leave Twitter. We have had this discussion. Twitter, however, is not a problem. The problem is what you are tweeting,” said President Museveni.
In regard to his son’s presidential aspirations, Museveni said that leaders are not elected on Twitter. Anyone who is interested in leadership will have to be audited first to determine whether they are a time bomb or not. The President said that the current number of Ugandans stands at 44 million. These will therefore decide what they want as they are abundant.
Museveni also denied allegations of DP president Nobert Mao that their agreement had a peaceful transition clause in it. He said that that is Mao’s approach but they didn’t discuss it anywhere.

![[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.
