Cartoon | Museveni’s son will not leave Twitter

Ugandan-Kenyan relations were recently shaken by provocative statements tweeted by President Yoweri Museveni’s only son, Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

In one of the tweets, which caused an uproar, Muhoozi wrote to his more than 600,000 followers: “It wouldn’t take us, my army and me, 2 weeks to capture Nairobi [Kenya’s capital city].”

President Museveni apologised to Kenyans for his son’s comments.

Following the tweets Museveni then spoke out, reprimanding his son, saying he would stay off Twitter but Muhoozi has been defiant.
