Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the son of Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni, has joked that he had unsuccessfully asked his father to deploy him and his troops to Kenya to deal with goons who invaded Uhuru Kenyatta's Northlands farm on March 27.

Taking to his Twitter page on Saturday, April 1, Muhoozi said: "I asked Mzee (Museveni) to deploy me as the lead commander to Northlands [Farm in Ruiru, Kiambu County in Kenya]. All we needed were 200 Uganda People's Defence Force (UPDF) soldiers to bring order [in Northlnads Farm]. I told him that Kenyans needed a good beating, but he (Museveni) refused [to deploy us]."
