“This Is The First Time In History Of Uganda That We Have Had The CDF Office Communicating In This Manner” Angry Ugandan MP Blasts Gen Muhoozi

General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and the son of President Yoweri Museveni, has once again made headlines after his account on X (formerly Twitter) was deactivated. Unlike previous instances where he voluntarily deactivated his account, it appears that this time the platform itself may have taken action. Muhoozi’s social media conduct has long been a subject of controversy, with many questioning the appropriateness of his posts given his prominent position.
His actions on the platform have been the topic of criticism from various quarters, including Bugweri County Member of Parliament, who recently voiced strong disapproval. During an interview with Capital FM Uganda, the MP criticized Muhoozi’s social media behavior, describing it as unfit for someone in his position and noting that this is the first time in Uganda’s history that such a high-ranking official communicates in such a manner.
Muhoozi’s posts on X have often been bold and controversial, sparking heated debates and drawing mixed reactions. While some Ugandans have praised his outspoken nature, many others have criticized his posts as reckless and divisive. The online activity of the CDF has raised concerns about the professionalism expected from someone in such a sensitive role. His social media behavior has become a major political talking point, leading to a broader conversation about the responsibilities of public figures in the digital age.
The deactivation of his account has left many Ugandans speculating. Some believe the action was necessary due to the often controversial and critical nature of his posts, while others see it as an infringement on his freedom of expression, regardless of how controversial his opinions might be. This incident follows an earlier deactivation of his account on January 10, which was reportedly a personal decision, but the involvement of the platform this time adds a new layer of complexity to the situation, making it a significant topic of discussion within Uganda’s political landscape.
For someone in such a sensitive position as the CDF, the use of social media is crucial, and many believe it should be handled with greater care. Critics argue that Muhoozi’s actions on social media do not reflect the discipline expected of a military leader, while his supporters contend that his straightforwardness makes him more relatable to the public.
