Kenya's Ruto In Talks With Museveni After Son's Twitter Threats Kenya Uganda
has held talks with Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni. The meeting comes within days of Museveni's son Lieutenant-General Muhoozi Kainerugaba's controversial Twitter posts, in which he claimed that he and the Ugandan army would seize control of Kenya's capital Nairobi in less than two weeks - sparking outrage from Kenyans.
Ruto was in Uganda to attend the country's 60th Independence Day celebrations. In his meeting with Museveni, Ruto assured that Kenyan and Ugandan ties are intact. He said the two countries will remain friends, to improve the East African Community's fortunes. Ruto challenged his counterpart to take charge of those efforts and set out first to eliminate the region's border issues. He said that the border challenges had affected the region's untapped growth.
President Museveni pleaded with Kenyans to forgive the Twitter rant by his son Muhoozi - in which he questioned why former President Uhuru Kenyatta failed to contest for a third term after his two-year term expired, arguing that Kenyatta would have easily won the country's top seat if he had chosen to run.Capital FM, 9 October 2022
