Museveni promotes son Muhoozi amid controversial Nairobi tweets
The son of Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni, Major General Muhoozi Kainerugaba attends a ceremony in which he was promoted from Brigadier to Major General at the country's military headquarters in Kampala on May 25, 2016.
President Yoweri Museveni has promoted his son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, from the rank of Lieutenant General to a full general, coming amid recent controversial tweets about capturing Kenya. General is the highest rank in the hierarchy of Uganda People’s Defence Forces.
Uganda's heir apparent was, however, dropped as the Commander of Land forces. Museveni then appointed Maj Gen Kayanja Muhanga to replace his son.
