Ugandan General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of President Yoweri Museveni, has a history of stirring controversy with his posts on social media, often putting Uganda’s diplomatic relations on edge.

His online rants, particularly about Kenya, have sparked outrage, debate, and even forced his father to apologise.

In his latest post, done this February 2025, Muhoozi made a bizarre claim that he had been “kidnapped” by three women in Kenya.
