Kainerugaba is the son of President Yoweri Museveni, who appointed him chief of the defence forces in March this year. They violate Uganda’s Constitution, a country that has never witnessed a peaceful transfer of power since independence. Chris Baryomunsi, the minister of information communications technology and national guidance, has come out to distance the government from Kainerugaba’s statements.
When former security minister Henry Tumukunde expressed political opinions he was criminalised under the defence forces Act, resulting in four years under house arrest. Kainerugaba’s statements, as the chief of the defence forces, directly orders the involvement of armed men into democratic processes to protect the interests of the army and police against a civilian occupying the office of the president.
