Video!! Museveni Minister Kahinda Otafiire Mocks Muhoozi, Reveals Why He’ll Never Become President Of Uganda
Outspoken Internal Affairs Minister and bush War Hero Maj Gen Kahinda Otafiire has slammed those accusing him of hating Muhoozi Keinerugaba, the first son and President Museveni’s Advisor on special operations.
The ongoing criticism, including recent verbal sparring involving Kasambya legislator David Kabanda and Otafiire’s son, along with online exchanges, insists that Otafiire harbors animosity towards Muhoozi.
In a widely circulated video, Minister Otafiire clarified that he doesn’t despise Gen Muhoozi Keinerugaba personally but opposes his presidency openly.
“I hear people say Kahinda hates Museveni’s son, he hates Muhoozi Keneirugaba. I don’t hate Kelainerugaba as a person, I don’t want him as a president. There is a difference. I have no problem with Kainerugaba as Museveni’s son, but Kainerugaba as the president of Uganda, I don’t support that. I’m very open on that one.” -Otafiire emphasized.
His remarks coincide with the transition of Muhoozi’s MK Movement into the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), attended by several NRM members of parliament and key Museveni ministers, including Vice National Chairman Eastern Capt Mike Mukula.
The rebranding of Muhoozi’s MK movement to PLU, endorsed by Museveni and NRM members, has sparked varied reactions, with many viewing it as part of Museveni’s political strategy leading up to the 2026 general elections, where indications suggest he’ll seek to extend his rule to 45 years.
