Museveni appoints son as top commander of the army

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has appointed has son, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba as the new Chief of Defence Forces (CDF). Muhoozi’s appointment as the new military boss was announced Thursday evening during a Cabinet reshuffle by the head of state

He takes over from Gen Mbasu Mbadi who was appointed as Minister for Trade, according to a report on the Monitor. Prior to the appointment as CDF, Gen Muhoozi was serving as his father’s senior presidential advisor in charge of special operations.

Museveni’s son, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has recently been holding rallies around the country, in violation of a law barring serving army officers from engaging in partisan politics. But Kainerugaba says his activities  including the recent launch of an activist group known as the Patriotic League of Uganda, are nonpartisan and aimed at encouraging patriotism among Ugandans.

Two of his closest advisors have been given ministerial posts in a reshuffle of government ministers, fueling speculation that Museveni supports Kainerugaba’s political activities.

Museveni, who first took power by force in 1986 and has been elected six times, has not said when he would retire. He has no rivals within the ruling National Resistance Movement party, the reason many believe the military will have a say in choosing his successor.
