President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has stirred controversy by appointing his son, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, as the country’s new army commander. 

This decision has reignited speculation about Museveni’s intentions to pave the way for his eldest son to take over the presidency eventually.

The appointment came amid a cabinet reshuffle that saw the dismissal of five ministers, including Mary Goretti Kitutu, the embattled Minister of Karamoja Affairs, who faces corruption allegations. 

Additionally, two of Gen Kainerugaba’s confidants were appointed as ministers, while Lt Gen Samuel Okiding assumed the role of deputy army chief. 

Critics have raised concerns over Gen Kainerugaba’s recent political rallies, citing potential breaches of military discipline. President Museveni, who has held power since 1986, has consistently denied allegations of grooming his son for succession. 

However, with Uganda scheduled to hold general elections in 2026, the appointment raises questions about the future of leadership in the country.
