The shameless arrogance of General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of the despot Yoweri Museveni, has taken Uganda’s political circus to grotesque new lows. The so-called Chief of Defence Forces, who has turned his military post into a campaign platform for his aging father, has single-handedly exposed the sickening rot festering at the heart of Ugandan governance. What should be a solemn institution safeguarding the people’s interests, Uganda’s Parliament has been rendered a pathetic sideshow, groveling at the feet of this vile family dynasty.
Muhoozi’s inflammatory social media tirades are nothing short of treasonous. He is a disgrace to the uniform he wears, trampling over the very constitution that demands the military stay apolitical. Yet this blatant violation is just the tip of the iceberg. His audacious endorsement of Museveni for yet another term in the 2026 elections reeks of desperation. This is not a display of loyalty but a nauseating bid to perpetuate the family’s stranglehold on the country, making it clear that Uganda is held hostage by a kleptocratic clan whose only allegiance is to power and personal gain.
The Parliament, meant to be a beacon of accountability, has become a spineless charade, a haven for bootlickers and cowards. Instead of standing up to Muhoozi’s criminal behavior, these so-called legislators engage in empty theatrics, mouthing impotent calls for investigations that will never see the light of day. What a farce! They are complicit in the Museveni regime’s lawless grip on power, turning a blind eye to the blatant abuse of the military to intimidate, suppress, and subjugate the will of the people.
Muhoozi’s chilling declaration that “no civilian” will succeed Museveni is the death knell for any semblance of democracy in Uganda. This is not a warning but a clear threat, an unmistakable signal that Uganda’s fate lies in the hands of trigger-happy generals ready to crush anyone who dares to challenge their supremacy. It is a dark, foreboding message that should send chills down the spine of every Ugandan, a stark reminder that the Museveni family will not relinquish power willingly but will use the military to enforce their rule at any cost.
And what does the international community do? Absolutely nothing. Their silence is not just cowardice but complicity. By turning a blind eye to Muhoozi’s reckless power grab, they are tacitly endorsing Uganda’s descent into a full-blown dictatorship. Their meaningless diplomatic platitudes only embolden this rogue regime, which has already made a mockery of democratic principles.
But the true villains here are not just Muhoozi and his deluded father. The Parliament of Uganda is equally to blame. They have betrayed their duty, allowing themselves to be manipulated and controlled by a despotic family whose only concern is maintaining their iron grip on power. Instead of holding the regime accountable, they are part of the machinery that enables this shameless plunder of Uganda’s future.
This is not a Parliament; it is a cesspool of corruption, a rubber-stamp assembly for Museveni’s madness. As 2026 approaches, Ugandans must decide whether to remain silent and submit to the tyranny of a power-hungry family, or rise up and reclaim their stolen democracy. The time for polite protests and diplomatic language is over. It’s time for a full-blown rebellion against this grotesque parody of governance.
Muhoozi is not just a rogue general; he is a puppet of a dying regime, desperately clinging to power by any means necessary. His reckless actions are not those of a man fighting for his country but of a tyrant-in-waiting, ready to crush anyone who stands in his way. Unless the Parliament wakes up and stands against this brazen takeover, Uganda will slide further into the abyss, and its democracy will be nothing but a bitter memory.
Uganda’s Parliament is at a crossroads. It can either break free from the shackles of Museveni’s oppressive regime, or it can continue to be an accomplice in the destruction of the nation’s future. The choice is theirs, but the consequences will be felt by every Ugandan.
