Military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba crashes back into dirty politics

For about four months, Ugandans had been minding their business, away from the social media posts of General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the Chief of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces.

During that time, people tried to pour into the streets to mimic Kenya’s Gen Z and to demand better governance as well as an end to corruption. They were crushed immediately by brutal police.

In that time too, President Yoweri Museveni, in power for four decades now vowed to tame the scourge of corruption. Well, three members of parliament were jailed last month, some out now on bail.
