Yesterday, the 21st of March 2024 everything was aligned for the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), First Son, the General and Senior Presidential Advisor, Muhoozi Kainerubaga. He is now the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) of the Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UPDF). That makes him more powerful and is a major promotion.
However, it isn’t only in the army he has influence anymore. The First Son has allies now appointed in the huge cabinet of his father. Lillian Arber and Balaam Barugahara have both gotten a Ministerial Appointment. They are all in the sphere of the First Son and now they have power too. Others have been demoted, but these are now government officials.
That’s all shows how the PLU is influencing the NRM. The PLU and the First Son has now slowly taking over. They are now the power-broker without an election. They just have a say and is getting high ranking offices. That is the gist of yesterday.
You cannot underestimate the reasons for all of this. Some speculate that the promotion within the army is to stop Muhoozi from being on the ballot in 2026. Give him just enough incentive to let his father stay the course one more term. Alas, his already beginning to lose patience and campaigning hard with the PLU. There must be discussions of how the transition and how the government goes from the father to the son.
They can act like we don’t know, but the points are clear here. With the ones that has been appointed in the reshuffle and the reason why they got there. Arber isn’t the brightest MP, but she got here because of her role in the circle of Muhoozi. Balaam is a music promoter who has now risen to prominence. He ha been a vocal supporter and mobilizer, that will be used in his ministerial post. Expect the budgets and the spending there vastly grow, as it will be used to promote and galvanize the PLU. That’s how this game is rigged and we can smell it.
We can play around and act a fool, but this is a power-play of Muhoozi. He is getting a say and is now a part of the cabinet. That’s because his people are now in offices. They are now part of the day-to-day operation of the state. We can act like it doesn’t matter, but this is slowly normalizing Muhoozi.
It is giving way to Muhoozi and the people he trust. This is signalling who is the power-broker and where you should align yourself with. That’s because in the end… Muhoozi can either be the saviour or the angle of death. Muhoozi can either give you life or take it. That’s the message here and people should be aware of just that.
Yesterday is another step in “Project Muhoozi”. The signs is on the horizon. Nothing new under the sun and the first son is becoming more powerful by the day. That’s where the tide is turning. We can see it and they are acting like it is a kingdom. Where the office from goes through hereditary means. Instead of the will of the people.
Muhoozi thinks he can fool the public. Just like the father thinks people cannot see it for what it is. The picture is obvious and the future is Muhoozi now. At least in the eyes of the State House and the inner-circle. If it wasn’t… why would he get such a massive promotion and get his people appointed in cabinet on the same day. Peace.
