By James Kabengwa KAMPALA.The Chief of Defence Forces and son of President Yoweri Museveni, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba has stirred fresh controversy following a series of provocative social media posts targeting European Union and the Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC).

Gen Muhoozi says to shoot Bobi Wine personally

By James Kabengwa KAMPALA. Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of President Yoweri Museveni and commander of the nation’s land forces, escalated his violent rhetoric against opposition leader Bobi Wine on Sunday using the derogatory nickname “Kabobi” to lash the National Unity Platform (NUP) president with crude, militaristic threats. In a series of social media tirades, Muhoozi vowed to personally assassinate Wine—a former musician turned democracy icon—while mocking him as a “baboon” and a “drug addict.” The threats, unprecedented in their graphic vulgarity, underscore the regime’s desperation to crush dissent ahead of Uganda’s 2026 elections. Bobi Wine (real name Robert Kyagulanyi), whose NUP party has galvanized youth-led opposition to Museveni’s 39 year rule, has faced relentless state persecution since nearly defeating the president in the violent, fraud-tainted 2021 polls. “If Kabobi even thinks of causing any chaos in Uganda, I will personally […]

Battleline drawn as Bobi Wine fires Mpuuga from NUP leadership

The National Unity Platform (NUP) president, Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu (Bobi Wine), has suspended Mathias Mpuuga from the party structures over allegations of corruption. A Thursday letter by Bobi Wine said Mpuuga was sacked as vice president in charge of the central region with immediate effect.

The now Parliamentary Commissioner has defended the plot, saying everything was done legally. Mpuuga recently called a press conference and said no one could fire him from NUP as he was one of the founding members. Below is Bobi's full letter.
