'Museveni's Son's Promotion Preparing Him For Uganda Presidency'The leader of the National Unity Platform (NUP) Robert Kyagulanyi known as Bobi Wine has said the promotion of Lieutenant-General Muhoozi Kainerugaba to the rank of general is a step towards his eventual coronation as president of Uganda.
